Kristin Taylor // Weekend with the Taylor’s

“There were some moments when we were all having fun together and we didn’t need to remove ourselves to capture it, we could just be in the moment and enjoy ourselves”.

Nick Power // Mountain Biking with Nick & Ant

There are 5 children in my family, 4 of us boys! So, boys being boys, we grew up exploring the great outdoors together. Riding, running, paddling, camping, climbing and generally getting up to all kinds of mischief. It’s something we’ve carried through to adulthood and some of my fondest memories are of the times spent with my family on outdoor adventures both recently and as far back as I can remember. The only problem with everyone being an active participant is that there is nobody left to capture the moments on film. That’s where Elise comes in!

Elise was an absolute pleasure to have along on our mountain biking trip. She captured the fun of our trip without affecting the pace of our activities. We were able to ride as we normally would without having to “retake” any shots, slow down or pose for the camera. While Elise was great at making herself invisible while we were riding, her positive attitude towards the trip and general enthusiasm for what we were doing made a relaxing post ride drink even more enjoyable.

The results speak for themselves. My brother and I couldn’t be happier with the pictures Elise shot. Finally a record of one of our trips! I can’t wait to arrange for Elise to photograph another trip for us, hopefully next time with the entire family – maybe rock climbing if she’s game!
