It is $150 + flight costs.
At this stage flights are about $120 so that figure will be divided by the number of people who are interested so if there were three of us it would be $40 each. So $190. You get a CD with about 50 photos on it and 1 enlarged print. The bonus of it is that you get to print them off yourself so save heaps and you can do whatever you want with them. Her photos are awesome. I loved my last ones of DS and used the cool black and white ones to make coffee cups on Snapfish for gifts. Check out her website - www.momentz.co.nz -------------

| Sounds awesome but sadly we can't afford it. Lucky we have a digital SLR which takes nice pics, even with my non-existant photography skills! |

I was just looking on Grab a Seat and for the time between 2 and 8 November, they have one way tickets from Akld to Chch and back again for $49 each way....
ETA: Whoops, I just saw that she is coming down on 21 November so it wouldn't work in

Emz, ASAP would be good as then we know how much it will be for us all. You could try my trick and invite teh Grandparents round for the second half of the session to get some nice pictures with the kids and then they may offer to contribute -------------

Hey, we would be keen. I'd love to get some professional pics of Rhys. I've just look at the website and there's some fantastic pics! $190 is a great price for 50 pics and the cd. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Cool, so how long is each person's sitting? And you can have your family etc come along?
When does the money have to be paid through? Sorry for all the questions, just quite keen but would have to check with DH and the grandparents first

Im interested also, but of course have to get it past DH!! We just had Pixie Photos done, but Moments is SOOO much better!!
I also would like to know how long each sitting is, and where do we go? or does she come to our house, a garden etc? ETA: just saw on her website if there are 5 or more groups there is a 20% discount - do you think that applies? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hey guys - Sarah here.
I thought I'd drop in as I see there are a few questions :) The sessions are typically 45 mins to an hour and i can do them at your house with a studio type setup or outdoors somewhere if it was suitable. It would be preferable if most people are located centrally in CHCH or within a short drive to enable me to be able to fit the sessions in without factoring driving time of hours :) And the 20% discount definately applies. The more there are, the cheaper the cost for flights too. So if there are 5 families interested then flights would be only an extra $20-$30 each. I've got flights i'm looking at for $120. The package price discounted by 20% makes it $120 so a total of $140 if there is enough people :) To book in the sessions a 50% deposit is required and the rest payable on they day. You're welcome to drop me an email to book in or if you have anymore questions. At this stage its looking like there will definately be enough for the group discount and the cheap share of flights :) |

Hey guys, since there seems to be a good response here, could anyone that IS interested confirm with Sarah via email by the end of next week, so she can work out costs and then we all know where we are at. She is also pencilling in times, so first in, first served ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hey guys! Saw this last night and talked to DH about it and we're keen especially if we can get the discounted amount! Only thing is we live out at Northshore which is not very central but is only about 15-20 mins drive from the city. Where does everyone else live?
