Kodak Gold Awards 2011!

artisanstudios — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:32:57 +0000

We entered the Kodak Gold awards in September – a nationwide competition which honours and promotes the importance and value of excellence in professional photography, so awards certainly aren’t the easiest to come by.

Imagine our delight (and joy!) when we were informed that we had won two Silver awards, and a rare Gold award, all in the individual portrait category – yay! It’s nice to know that you’re award winning

May there be plenty PLENTY more awards in the future to come.

Snow in Tokoroa?

artisanstudios — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 07:27:17 +0000

If anyone said that it would snow in Tokoroa, you’d think they were mad. Insane. A few pikelets short of a picnic.

Well… guess that throws that theory out the window!

We got to work this morning, and it was starting to spit a few snowflakes… it was nothing to really write home about at first. HOWEVER…. a few minutes later, it began to actually snow!!! IN TOKOROA!!!!! (cue mad rush for cameras, memory cards, lenses, posing amongst the snow flurry, excited people outside taking photos)

Enjoy the pics – lets hope for more snowy days!

Have you ever seen Bridge Street like this???

Getting thicker and thicker...

Someone was happy in the snow

Snow down the main street - awesome!

The snow flurry at it's thickest...

Snapping from shelter! (Didn't hide the fact it was freezing!!)

Carolyn & Riki’s Trash the Dress Session

artisanstudios — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 09:07:38 +0000

The first photo from Carolyn & Riki’s Trash the Dress session at Karangahake Gorge! Guys – we had a ball! Thank you for being such fun to work with today. That river had so much more water in it today, than on our pre-visit, and it wasn’t very warm – though the weather held up perfectly. I’m glad it wasn’t me going for a swim! Love the photos!
