Hi everyone, well it's been very quiet in here lately, but that's because I've been incredibly busy working on my fantastic new blogsite. And I very happy to say that it's finally live! So, update your bookmarks - I have moved!
You can find me at: www.kyliedouglassphotography.com
See you there!

We have had so much rain here over the past few weeks, and so many days indoors, that yesterday it was time to rug up, put on Hayden's new gumboots and jump in some puddles! Oh, and grab the camera!
It was absolutely freezing out, although we were lucky enough to find a break in the rain. We even had a small glimpse of sun, which made for some gorgeous colours and back lighting. It felt so much later in the day than 2pm!
Hayden had heaps of fun running up and down in the water, jumping about, and of course lots of kicking! Gumboots came off and went flying on a few occasions, and by the end of it, I think there was just as much water in the gumboots as in the puddles!
Although it was cold, and our time outdoors was fairly short, there's something quite nice about going back into a warm house on a winter's day and feeling those red fingers and toes warm up and start to tingle.
And here are some photos to share with you. I hope you're staying warm this winter but also getting out to enjoy it too!
I have known this family for nearly three years now through our Plunket Mum's group, and I'm pleased to announce that Miss J is now the proud big sister to little Miss B, a true little cutie. Mum knew she had no choice but to let me in to photograph the new baby, lol, but luckily she was all for it.
Miss B was 12 days old when I went along to photograph her, and it was a terrible, horrible, cold, wet day, so the fire was on, wheat bags out, and lights on! I don't normally like to use studio lighting with newborns, but there just wasn't any choice on this day.
We managed to get some little 'snooze' photos right at the start, but then Miss B wanted to see what all the action was about and was wide awake for the rest of the shoot. She was happy just to lie there for quite a while, so we got some lovely shots in before it was time to go back to Mum and Dad for more cuddles.
S and S, here is a little sneek-peek of your shoot - finally! I will have your full gallery up for you in the next couple of days. Thank you for letting me come and photograph your new wee daughter. Kylie :)
Well this is just a little belated Happy Birthday post for my gorgeous wee boy! Hayden was 3 a couple of weeks ago - my little boy is growing up!
We had a little party with family on the Saturday prior to his birthday and had his Thomas the Tank Engine cake (it was very much a Thomas the Tank Engine birthday!!). Then on his actual birthday, we headed into the city and went for a ride on the tourist tram for the first time. Hayden loved his ride on the tram to the extent that we ended up going around the circuit three times!
And here's a few photos of the birthday boy!
For birthdays and special occasions I like to take photos to make my own little cards. With Mother's Day approaching, I set Hayden up last week with some flowers to take some shots to turn into a storyboard card. As is usually the case with Hayden, I had to work quickly as you only get a few minutes before he's had enough and says "no more photos" - or in the case of working with flowers, the flowers get a bit of a rough time!
So a belated Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mum's out there, and here are three little pics that I wanted to share with you :)
It is fast becoming a tradition to take Hayden to Hagley Park each Autumn for photos in the leaves. Autumn is such a beautiful season and I just love the autumn colours. This is our third year of going, and we were a lot later going this year than last. In fact with being so busy after the shift, I was getting worried we were going to miss the best of the leaves. But, thanks to a gorgeous late summer and therefore a late Autumn, we were pretty much at a perfect time.
Last year, Hayden pretty much had no interest in playing in the leaves at all, but this year he was more than happy to kick big piles of leaves - in fact, when you look at the photos below you'll notice a little 'kicking' theme going on! As long as I kept making piles of leaves, Hayden was happy to run and come and kick them. Although I simply couldn't convince him to pick them up and throw them in the air - maybe next year!
Anyway, it was a gorgeous morning at the park; a lovely mild overcast day and not a breath of wind - perfect photo weather! So lots and lots of photographs were taken, and I've finally managed to work my way through them and have chosen a few favourites to share!
It isn't very often that I get a photo of Hayden and I together as I'm usually on the other side of the camera, and it's been such a long time since I've done a 'self-portrait' of Hayden and I together. So, the other day, out came the tripod, and Hayden and I had an impromptu photo session together. We actually had heaps of fun and Hayden was all up for it. I even managed to capture a few great shots before the 'fake' smiles came out.
So, I thought that I'd share three of my favourites with you in a storyboard.
