Ann Worthy Stephenson is the face behind PhotoWorthy Images.
A few things about me:
My number one goal in life is to have FUN!
One of my favorite things is to be underwater, scuba diving and taking photos of fish and critters in the sea
I have traveled to 41 countries and 42 of the 50 states in the USA
I LOVE playing with kids (actually, I think I might still be a bit of a big kid)
I have two nephews I absolutely adore – one in Texas and one in Australia
I love meeting new people and learning about their lives
I like to cook
I like to decorate cakes
I am gradually becoming a vegetarian, except that I still love pepperoni pizza and a cheeseburger! I know, wierd!
I am completely over the top passionate about photography. I probably spend over 50% of my waking hours thinking about it. (My husband would probably say more than that!)
I have the best husband a girl could ever hope for! 🙂
PhotoWorthy Images is all about KIDS of all ages – whether your child is a few days young or about to turn 21! Maybe your child is still in the belly, or maybe it’s of the 4-legged, furry persuasion – it doesn’t mater because I LOVE ALL KIDS!!!
I like to create photos that are all about YOU! So we will sit down and talk about what you would like before the shoot. Don’t know what you want? We’ll figure it out together! 🙂 I will help you figure out what to wear…where…when… even talk to you about where in your home you would like to hang your portrait art. Yes, ART! I like to think of my work – oops, I mean FUN – as ART that you hang on the wall!
Do you have an idea? Talk to me about it! I absolutely LOVE trying something new, especially if it’s FUN

Teresa Hoult has built and run several successful physiotherapy practices across Canterbury.
Teresa’s medical and practice management experience ensure you will have all the care you need, when you need it.
Pilates – is a lot of interest here – probably looking to do one night time class 7-8 Monday or Thursday and a daytime – maybe Tuesday or Thursday 0900-1000 or so. Classes would be a max of 6 – 8 people once I figure the floor space – booked for a 5 week block for $75 for the five weeks whether you make the class or not. Keen to know peoples preference for days and times.
I will be working close on fulltime at Silverstream for the next couple of months – approx hours 8-8 Mon and Thurs and 0900 – 1500 ish the other days – is some flexibility here. Another senior level physio will join us in Oct who will take over the shorter days from 0900 – 1445. Potentially as we grow another physio that I have done a lot of work with will join us as well – maybe after Xmas.
Hugely privileged to have a comprehensive team of senior level physios who will be working from Silverstream to provide full physio and rehab service. Coupled with Corrie doing podiatry – Silverstream will become a one stop shop for your health needs.
All feedback be it positive or negative is gratefully received – feedback is simply how we grow our service to meet the needs of the community. Cheers Teresa
