CHRISTCHURCH FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY • MCCAINS BAY, NZ

Mulit-family Weekend Camping McCains Bay, , Canterbury, NZ

What was the best part about the photography experience ?

I think having someone photograph for you is really special but quite personal so you need to really be at ease with their presence. We definitely did with you. I have never had one before and often look back at my kids photos and wish I had done a professional one with them when they were babies! I never liked the staged pics and have always appreciated a more natural setting. I think you really know how to bring out the best in that situation and pick up what the needs are of the people being photographed.

How do the photographs differ from previous family sessions you have had?

I really love your enthusiasm for photography! You can really see it in your photos and it was so amazing having you with us in Okains. You have such a warmth about you that really allows you to be within our group so naturally, you have a great smile and fab energy! You really spot the joyful moments and you can see that in your photos as you capture them so beautifully. I think having you around brings out these moments, you can see you really love to see people’s face light up!

Was there anything that suprised you about the session?

My experience prior to you was very staged and fake. I wouldn't want to do that again. After meeting you and seeing what you do, it changed that. I like the idea of having someone take photos and documenting an adventure/weekend. I don't like it if it's staged, but I think what you offer Niki is awesome. Very natural.

I like it how you were very natural and just fitted in really well. It was like you were blended in and this probably caught the best in everyone.
