Whaingaroa Youth Movement “Welcome Home”

On Saturday 3rd December 2011, the students from Whaingaroa Youth Movement had their annual dance show.  This year the show was in Wainui Reserve in the gardens.  Once again Patti and her students (all girls this year again) put on a show to be proud of.  From cute little 5 year old ‘pukeko’ to the seniors who were the ‘wahine’.  There was a huge turn out this year of family and friends all sitting on picnic blankets under the trees eating their picnics, sipping wine, chatting and laughing with each other.  Music was floating all around the park as we were all entertained by our tamariki.  There were even a pair of ‘seagulls’ entertaining us from high up in the sky (two very talented circus performers displaying their ribbon climbing skills!)

Thank you Patti and all the members of the Whaingaroa Youth Movement for your dedication and amazing talents to make your entire community proud.  This is a gift that our children will carry on through their lives, to be able to stand tall, move gracefully and dance in tune to life’s beat XXX

Last of the summer swimming …

Happy Easter everyone.  We spent our Easter swimming at Goat Island – it’s a marine reserve north of Auckland and was amazing.  Unfortunately someone left the underwater camera in the car, but there are a few goodies from the beach.  We all had an amazing day, but I think we caught the warm weather just in time because it is freezing here now!  Thanks Mum, Trisha, Luki, Daniel, Britty and Lexi for being such willing and amazing models (gotta love your family huh?).

Raglan Off Road Challenge …

Saturday  23 October 2010.  The Raglan Off Road Challenge was amazing.  Great weather and an awesome course with views to die for.  Kayak, run and bike.

Here are some of the pics from the day.  If there are any photographs you like just contact me about purchasing them.  Also contact me if there is anything you think I might have captured on film that aren’t on here.  Keep posted as I will add more photos over the next week or so.  Also check out my Facebook page.  Linda Holmes Photography (I am the one from New Zealand not Texas!?)

Cheers

Nothing quite like a day fishing at the bar (even if nothing was caught)

Photo shoot with two of the most beautiful children I know …

A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of having a photo shoot with two beautiful and inquisitive models.  I thought black and white was such a great way to show them, they had fun exploring the garden and hardly noticed I was following them around … …

… Oh to be young again!
