Smitten with a kitten

Family Photography for Pet Lovers: Meet Mara the Silver Burmese pussy cat...

Lyn brought her kitten Mara for a photo shoot in our Wellington City Photography Studio last month...

Mara, a 5-month old silver Burmese, is Lyn’s baby, and Lyn was keen to get a series of photos that convey the love and emotion she feels for this kitten.

We had so much fun! Mara explored the Studio and posed beautifully for Jess Dewsnap, one of our talented Portrait Photographers. Of course, the doors of the Studio were shut and the area was secured (in case Mara escaped!), but this beautiful kitten was so good,  Jess managed to capture the strong connection between them both.

So next time you are thinking of booking a Family Portrait Shoot, feel free to include your pet (in our Studio or in a location of your choice!) - after all, they are a huge part of the family- they bring laughter, cuddles and unconditional love. 

So Pet Lovers, Call Toni if you have any questions regarding Pet  and Family Photography on (04) 917 68 61.

Remember: Christmas is around the corner, and Family photos make a beautiful gift. You can also check out our Vouchers for more ideas on giving this Christmas.

'Tis the Season!

This month has been busy for the Woolf Photography team, what with all the celebrations going on in Wellington....

This month has been busy for the Photographers at Woolf: From Graduations (First Whitireia, Victoria University, Open Polytech and now Massey), to Investitures and other Events, our Team has been capturing important milestones in the life of the Community all month long!

Woolf Photography takes pride in being at the heart of the action, and being able to offer, as part of the experience, Studio Portrait sessions that create memories for our clients. Our Studio Gallery also offers standard and Custom Framing, so don't forget to inquire should you wish to properly preserve that which you have worked so hard to achieve.

Below is a taster of what Wellington looked like yesterday- we look forward to doing it all again at the end of this year!

We are Family

Woolf Photography has affiliations with families that go back a few decades,  and it is always a thrill for us to reconnect with them for family group portrait sittings and at other stages of their life...

Autumn and Winter, believe it, or not, is the best time for family photography! Outdoors maybe a bit cooler, however the light is less intense, and can sometimes be a bit more dramatic.  Here are some recent images Simon Woolf took over the weekend:

Woolf Photography's success is weighing up options with light and the best backgrounds, and going for it! If all else fails, and the weather gets too bad, there are always inside options, our fantastic central city studio. Fun is always a big part of the photography experience. We often take our imagery at pace, and try to capture the personalities of our subjects in context. With most our family groups, we take a number of combinations. The Woolf Photography team also work in different genres, between Colour and Black and White, and also using Contemporary, Traditional and Documentary styles.

At Woolf, we believe in being well prepared, so we see our pre-consultation appointments as  vital to our Photo shoot success. We also have contingency plans  and work out logistics to resolve most potential difficulties. Our after sales service is terrific: Because we are a one stop shop, we call on Janet, our full time framer from Frames +, to present and frame our photography beautifully and to our customers requirements.

Be my Valentine...

Winners of our "Be My Glamorous Valentine" 2015 competition had a wee surprise to reveal...

Tamsyn & Craig, winners of the 2015 "Be My Glamorous Valentine" Competition...

 ...their love story inspired us, so we gave them a Glamour Photo Shoot session in our Studio! As you might know by now, Weddings are one of Jess Dewsnap's favourite things...closely followed by Glamour and Bump-to-Baby photo-shoots!

Tamsyn and Craig had a little surprise for us: You see, they are about to become parents (at any moment!). But don't worry, Craig took care of the Moet, while Tamsyn enjoyed the chocolates...This was a celebration of their Love: a beautiful moment to capture.

Super Cuba-Dupa

See you next year #Cubadupa, #Wellington, #funinthecity, #community

Cuba Dupa, Wellington’s newest incarnation of the Cuba Street Carnival was a triumphant success! After two years of uncertainty (will the City Council approve the new venture or will it not?), the organisers pulled out all the stops, got the community involved, re-branded and produced a terrific event that we all look forward to again next year!

 We sent down a crew to check it out- and if you weren’t there, you really missed something. It was an eclectic playground of colour, tastes and surprising encounters. Doug’s images only tell part of the story…

See you next year #Cubadupa, #Wellington, #funinthecity, #community, #wellingtonphotographers
