nikolay's first steps - a lifestyle shoot
I met these gorgeous guys a few weeks ago when they came up to my studio to check out my work and to make sure I wasn't a total nut-job. I pretended I wasn't so we booked in their Lifestyle Shoot! Grigoriy, Anna & wee Nikolay are from Ukraine and are totally gorgeous!!!
We started at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens where they fed the ducks, then wandered around together being totally in love and beautiful. That works up an appetite so we went back to their place for cake!!!










Aren't they just stunning? So in love - what a gorgeous family.


We also managed to capture Nikolay's first steps!!!









Their house is filled with love and memories and there are photos everywhere. Anna made the wee elephants which are a symbol of good luck.
Now for cake...mmm it was delicious! Inna from Inna's Baking made it and it not only looked good it tasted AMAZING!!!


Now, Anna is one very talented lady - she MADE these beautiful flowers! They are made from soft, air-dryed Japanese clay and they look so life- like! They are perfect for a wedding bouquet or buttonhole as they last forever!

And now for the special guest ... Nikolay!!!!



Way better to eat them than to play with them, huh?



Don't you just love tiny itty-bitty feet???!!!







It's been a long day.








These guys are the lovliest parents and it's clear to see how in love they are with each other. That wee boy is one lucky chappy. x
