I've seen heaps of people on here have some really fantastic photos done with this company and I'd like to get some done of our little family.
How much did you pay (if you don't mind me asking), what did you get (how many photos? sizes?) and was it worth the price? Thanks  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Sarah charges $150 for a family session, you get about 50 pics on a disk and one free enlargement. She may give you a discount if you organise a group of families in one session (we have done this with my coffee group, and all had 1 hour for each family on the same day at my place). She is lovely and her photos are great! Highly recommend her.
www.momentz.co.nz Have a look at her work on the website .... there some of me preg and Jake on there!! (and my niece and some bubs from my coffee group). Sarah comes on here every now and then so she may see your post ....  ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

Yep, Arohanui is right. They were done in Aucks. It says on their contact page they are available all over NZ. But thats only if your willing to pay extra. ------------- Melanie. Mum to Briahna Robyn, 3yrs |

Nikki, I know Toni is going to organise one, maybe we could do it together....might get an even better discount? ------------- http://www.alterna-tickers.com">

I already have my price, but didn't want to put it on here in case she was already giving me a better discount as I've had pregnancy pics plus 2 lots of Jake pics done so far! (and organised about 10 other families!)
Let me know if you want to try to organise it together Toni?? ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

I am hoping to get some done when I come up to Auckland next month as I cant afford to fly the photographer each way as stated in the email I sent thru asking about the travel costs for when they travel. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yeah i had asked as well. One day we will head to Auckland again and thought i would organise it for when we are up there as a family. I got professional ones done and they cost more for one photo that what was paid for 50 and although i love the one of the 3 kids I hate the family one - god knows why I display it in our lounge I just think its cause i don't have another one ------------- Ann

We were chuffed with our pics from Sarah too considering Oli screamed the whole time....we werent holding out much hope. She was so lovely, she even offered to come to our place and take some more (given that he cried so much) as she hadnt been able to take as many as we had paid for. I think the best thing for us was that we got the disc with the pics on!! They are lovely photos and Sarah makes the whole process so easy!!!! (cant help it...here is my favourite pic from the shoot...)

So it sounds as if you are given the disc with the photos on it so you can print some photos out yourself? is that right?
Lovely photo of cute wee Oli too BTW  -------------

She made it really nice and put it in a dvd case with a pic of Briahna on the front and back and her name and date. Its really well done im so happy with it!!!
(Sorry cant help it either lol this is one of my favs and you cant even see her face lol)

Hey Ladies.. just thought I'd pop in and say hi :) I was flattered to come across this thread.. Thanks for the kind words from those I've taken photos of :)
I see there is a bit of interest for outside of Auckland.. If you were able to get together a group of you, then I'd be happy to travel anywhere and have the travel cost split between the group... :) I am often down country for other work as well so its always a possibility.. I am in CHCH for a wedding in November for a weekend.. That pic just posted by Mel was my favourite of Briahna.. she was too cute! ------------- www.momentz.co.nz Momentz Photography |

What sort of setting do you need to do it? I mean I could see if a group of my friends are interested as 50 photos like that are worth the money - BUT do you need a studio or do you bring it with you? ------------- Ann
