Commercial Photography: Tree Planting sponsored by Honda

On a rainy Saturday back in June I ventured out to Kelly’s Conservation Forest to capture a wonderful tree planting event. Organised by Tress That Count and sponsored by Honda, I was there to capture the volunteers as they planted native trees on the property. Lindy, the owner, was featured last year on Country Calendar so I was well aware of the fantastic work she’s doing with reforestation and it was a real treat to chat to her and take a few portraits.

I love commercial photography jobs like this! Not only was I able to get some great documentary style photographs to tell the story of the day, but I snapped some sweet portraits and photos for social media (which I love seeing pop up on my feed!). The team at Trees That Count were wonderful to work with, and it was well worth getting several layers of mud on my hiking boots.

Well done to the Honda team who travelled down from Auckland for the event, along with all the volunteers who braved the elements to donate their time and get some native trees in the ground. It was a great Saturday and I even got to plant a tree myself - next time I don’t have to bring my camera I promise I’ll plant more!
