I did exceptionally well at the 2013 IRIS Awards achieving 7 awards from 10 entries and earning my associates medal. See below for my winning prints.

So if you follow me on facebook, you’re probably well up to date with my success at the recent NZIPP Iris Awards. I made a goal last year to enter the maximum of 10 prints in this years awards. I started regretting that foolhardy choice in the run up to the awards when I realised how much work is involved in entering each print, but I achieved my goal. I made another flighty goal that I might achieve my NZIPP Associates medal – which would involve earning at least 7 points at the Irises this year (one point is awards for every bronze, two for silver, 3 for gold awards). Lo and behold I achieved that one too! I can’t wait to get my medal in the post when my prints are returned!
My goal for next year? The lofty dream of GOLD. Some serious thinking and hard work will be involved in that one, with just a touch of good luck too.
All up, out of 10 prints I won 5 bronzes and 2 silvers, a great haul for anyone, but particularly a second time entrant. I could not be happier, nor prouder. I worked hard this year and created images specially for the Irises, I decided to try out some new techniques and create some concept images from scratch, which was a great learning opportunity and gave me an excuse to push the limits – thank you to all of my gorgeous models!
Everyone keeps asking me, so here are my award winning prints from 2013:

In short, Anna was our little wedding miracle! Our photographer cancelled 48hrs before the wedding and Anna stepped in. Having not met or got to know Anna, we were all kinds of nervous. But… Anna was everything we could have wished for and much more! She ‘got’ us instantly and took the most amazing shots of the day. She captured every moment so perfectly. Her photos of the day will be treasured for a long time to come!
Anna was a dream to work with and I am so glad she was our wedding photographer. Working with you was a pleasure. You always let us know what to expect and when, were quick to respond to any queries, and left us with no doubt that everything was under control. Planning a wedding is inherently stressful but our photographer was one of the few things we didn’t lose sleep over before the big day!A+ communication before and after the big day left us in no doubt everything was under control. We always knew what was happening and when, and felt like we could rely on her from day one.On the day itself you and Ryan were warm, unobtrusive, and super efficient. Anna has real attention to detail and an eye for capturing naturally beautiful shots. There are so many ‘aww’ moments in our photo collection (and what a large collection it is too!)Professional from start to finish – you and Ryan were able to get people where and when you wanted them without being bossy or overbearing. You got the shots you wanted without being intrusive, and everyone we have spoken to thought you did an awesome job.Anna you did a beautiful job, thank you!
Anna was wonderful to work with. She encouraged us to do an engagement shoot before hand which was a really good idea. Great way to break the ice and get used to being photographed repeatedly. Anna is really skilled at helping you feel relaxed so you can be yourself throughout the process.She was assertive when required (with organising family shots etc) and was relaxed and ready to have a laugh when it suited too. She made our entire bridal party feel important and included and the whole process ended up being a whole heap of fun for everyone involved.We picked Anna because we felt she had an incredible ability to capture special moments where the person being photographed didn’t realise they were being photographed (they always make for the best images). Her photos of our day are better than we could have ever hoped for and we would recommend her in a heartbeat. Thank you for doing such an amazing job Anna and we can’t wait to work with you again soon!
