Some mornings you just have to get up before the world does.
The sky was doing that thing - where the colours are almost too good to be real. Deep blue bleeding into pink, orange burning at the horizon. And the viewing platform just standing there, perfectly still, perfectly placed.
This is what happens when you chase the dawn. What's the last thing that got you out of bed early?
š Hawke's Bay | Shot in-camera, no edits - just the real thing.

Beautiful šš The dawn show gets me out of bed. And my bike š²
What would YOU keep?
Look closely at this image.
The stacked board games. The portrait paintings watching silently from the walls. The "I Hate Mornings" mug.
Every object in this room belonged to my family. Had a story. A memory attached to it.
And in the middle of it all - my cat. Completely unbothered. Already decided.
We've all stood in a room like this one. Maybe you're standing in one right now.
What would make your Keep pile?

We were clearing out a family home. Decades of life sorted into four categories, Dump. Donate. Keep. Sell.
And then she walked in. Surveyed the entire chaos. And sat down.

Now available as a fine art print, including our new Petite 10x10 size, perfect for smaller spaces and thoughtful gifts.

"Dreaming in Light. Created entirely in-camera using Intentional Camera Movement, no editing, no manipulation, just colour and movement caught in a single exposure.
Jo, I'm so glad it gives you that little lift every day - that's everything. š
āāāāā 'I love the colours, the composition, the way the image floats on the page. Gives me a little lift every time I look at it.'
That's exactly why I make this work. To give someone that feeling, every single day on their wall.
Curious how Intentional Camera Movement works? michellefey.com/blogs/news/what-is-intentional-camera-movement-icm-photography
I didn't plan to fall in love with ICM photography. It happened by accident, the camera moved at exactly the wrong moment and produced exactly the right image.
That one frame changed the direction of my fine art work completely.
If you've ever wondered what Intentional Camera Movement actually is, how it's done, and why every piece I make is captured entirely in-camera with zero digital manipulation, I wrote about it here.

A little update š¤
As my landscape and fine art work continues to grow, Iāve made a small change so each side of my photography has the space it deserves.
Pop-ins now have their own Facebook page, created especially for families and children. And if you are wanting a newborn or family shoot I will still be doing a few of these too.
š You can find it here:
www.facebook.com/popinshb/
This new page will be home to:
ā¢ Pop-in booking announcements
ā¢ sibling and milestone sessions
ā¢ Motherās Day, Fatherās Day, Valentineās, Easter & Christmas Pop-ins
ā¢ and a growing community of Pop-in families
If youāve brought your child to a Pop-in before, this page is just for you.
Iād love you to follow along and be part of the journey as these little years add up š¤
(And donāt worry ā this page will now focus fully on my fine art and landscape work.)
Followed!! š¤
