February 2025 Wrap-Up
Another month has passed, and the family birthdays continue. Baby Violet is a baby no more, now turning three! Such a wonderful milestone for us all, filled with happy memories as they spent the weekend enjoying the vibrant playground that Rotorua has become.
Sister Act
It was wonderful to have my sister say "yes" when I asked her to join me for a tandem photo shoot. The goal was to show our customers and social media followers how my clothing looks on two very different body shapes. Stepping in front of the camera is never easy—especially for someone like her, whose day-to-day revolves around the clinical care of the RAW home—but she agreed. We achieved an awesome outcome and received a lot of positive feedback. Thank you, Sis! 🩷
In a Row
My membership with three local Waikato photographic clubs has been a fantastic motivator to pick up my camera for reasons beyond work. Each month brings a new themed challenge that encourages creativity and connection. This month, the Whitianga club's theme was In a Row. I loved the resulting photo, beautifully staged by our HQ team.
Valentine’s Day Bike Ride
After 27 years together, Tony and I decided to make Valentine’s Day about us. Inspired by our love of cycling during the river cruise, we took on the challenge of a bike ride to Cambridge on hired bikes. We've been considering purchasing e-bikes for a while now, and this ride was the perfect test of our commitment. Naturally, I wore a recently arrived sample from our upcoming 'Hi-Vis' vest collection (yes, it will meet regulations!).
26th February – The Masters Finale
This day marked the final assessment of my year-long master's journey, culminating in the RAW Beauty exhibition—13 empowering A0 images of RAW participants. Part of the marking process involved setting up a full exhibition, which will remain on display at our Morrinsville head office for the next two months. Reaching this finish line has been both exciting and challenging, and I’m incredibly proud of what’s been accomplished.
Grandee Mania
And last but not least, some cherished snapshots from February’s grand adventures with the grandkids!
Here’s to celebrating milestones, creating memories, and embracing new challenges. Onward to March! 🌸 Annah x
