Wow wow wow! I have no words, for how much I enjoyed this session <3 Well I guess I do have a few... The lovely Kylie from Rangitikei Farmstay found me on instagram, we locked in our session and when the time came, I drove out to their AMAZING property chugging coffee and singing many songs along the way. Of course due to the massive car coffee the first thing I did once I arrived was check out the ladies room - which was also lovely ;) THEN I took myself off to explore the property finding some amazing spots to capture some beautiful moments in. Of course the spot I really liked To View More >>
