Family photo shoot at Christmas Holidays (Orewa Beach - North Shore photographer)

Christmas and New Year is a perfect time to get together with family and have some photos taken to create memories for years to come.

Thats why extended family photo shoots are so popular, and I just love to see how all family comes together and have an opportunity not only capture them all but also do some quick photos of each small family.

This time I went to Orewa to capture Sally and John’s beautiful family with their three grown up kids and their partners. It was a pleasure to meet this family again as I already captured their son’s wedding (and now they are expecting +1) and pre-wedding photo shoot, other two kids’ graduations and family photos and Sally’s beautiful performances on the ice (she is my friend and fellow adult figure skater - living the same passion).

I had feeling like Im capturing my own family. So good to see these beatiful people again! Even small rain cant stand on the way this family gathering!

Enjoy a quick sneak peek - highlights from our photo shoot at Orewa beach, such amazing memories!

Hello beautiful people!

What it means for my photography clients? All scheduled sessions will be postponed {you have right to choose a new suitable date based on availability}.
I will be working with my wedding clients to find the best possible date that suits our calendars {you will receive a credit towards the new date, scheduling preferably one year from the original wedding date, but can be stretched further based on your needs and government advice on Covid-19 situation}. New contract may be required to secure your new date {all money already paid will be applied to the new date}.
I already announced a week ago my live workshops in Auckland and Sydney are postponed till next year.
Luckily, my online workshop Love, Light & Laughter still go ahead - begin 23 March at Click Photo School www.clickphotoschool.com/love-light-laughter
Only one day to go! Last Call, get in quickly! :)
My heart feels for everyone who have a big loss in this situation {all my friends, couples, small and big businesses etc}, but we need to come together and support each other!
Stay safe and healthy! #stayhome

P.S.: schools are closed from tomorrow, so my young kids are at home - homeschooling and Im sure getting crazy stuck inside. I will try to do my best to deliver all recent wedding galleries in a timeframe stated in the contract {8-10 weeks from the wedding}, but can’t guarantee it yet. Also expect some delays with editing services , as well as albums design. Thank you so much for understanding!
