Mini Portrait Holiday Sessions

Our children... they grow up so quickly. Look at my twinnies - it seems like only yesterday that they were tiny babes, and now they're full of sass, highly opinionated, and telling me off for singing in front of their friends! :)

It's fantastic to capture them at all these precious stages of life - it's priceless to be able to look back and remember. My photos (above) are amateur snaps, but I have someone amazingly talented to recommend to you. Florence Charvin is a beautiful French photographer living here in Hawke's Bay with her husband and three gorgeous kids. Her business, Fotographie by Florence, specialises in portraits, weddings, commercial and lifestyle photography, and she's particularly brilliant at capturing children's personalities on film.

Florence likes to photograph children in their own environment. She believes that some of the most powerful portraits are the most low key, simple ones, and I have to agree. Look at these stunning photographs of her own children.

With the school holidays starting next week, it's a great time to capture your own little darlings, and Florence is offering 30 minute Mini Portrait Holiday Sessions for only $75. You choose your time between 5th July - 20th July, and your location in Hawke's Bay, and Florence will weave her magic. After the shoot she'll provide you with approximately 15 digital images via Dropbox. Contact Florence to book your session on 021 078 3478 or fotographiebyflorence@gmail.com.

Here are just a few examples of Florence's portraiture work. Pop over to her blog to see much more, and then give her a call.
