  1. I would LOVE to nominate my sister and her family. She is the best sister a girl could ask for. She is always there for me, even across the ocean. I know she would love to have their family photos done..in fact I don’t think they have had a professional photo done of their family..not since their wedding.
    Thanks for giving of your time and talent. I know whom ever you choose will enjoy their photos for years to come.

    Hi I’m from Christchurch not Hamilton but I just wanted to say that it’s awesome that you are giving away a photo shoot. I hope your business goes well.

    hi! My name is Rebekah. I’m an American living in Auckland, New Zealand. My husband is Kiwi. I’ve been here for the last 7 yrs, love the life here, had our 2 little ones here…but miss my family very much.
    My sister-Angelique- has very generously already nominated me for the photo shoot give away. I am the lucky one to have such a fabulous sister. She had the oppurtunity to come visit NZ last July and we had such a great time together. I loved showing her around NZ.
    Thank you for giving of your time and talent in this photo shoot give away, very generous of you. It would be really awesome to win. My sister was correct in saying we haven’t had professional photos done since our wedding…6 yrs ago! Cheers!

    I would love the chance to get some professional photos taken of myself and two boys. As a single mum Im always behind the camera and i dont know how long its been since we have had a nice family photo of the three of us. I live close enough to Hamilton that the travel isnt too far. Good luck to all that enter

    Can we nominate ourselves? If so, I would like to put my hand up for a chance to win. I’m a lucky wife and mother of two gorgeous little boys…and we have never ever had professional photos taken! My husband and I eloped, therefore no professional wedding pics, and we haven’t ever had any “real” family pics taken. I’m almost always behind the camera! It would be a real privilege to have a professional photo shoot and some photos for our home and scrapbooks. We are in Taranaki and can easily travel to Hamilton. This year has been very difficult for me with post natal depression, so winning would be a real bright spot in some very dark days!

    Thanks Becky and Britta for the chance to win!

    Hi, I would LOVE to nominate my family. Being a photographer I am always the one behind the camera. We have 3 little boys, the youngst is 3 months and I having some beautiful pictures of us all would mean the world to me
    thanks for the opportunity, I have admired Brittas work for some time.

    I would absolutely LOVE to have a family photo of our family of 5! We recently added our little boy in October and getting the 5 of us in one picture has been a nightmare! But each day he gets bigger and it saddens me that there just isn’t many photos of us together. Something lovely and professional to hang on my wall would be fabulous! We are in Hamilton so this works perfect :)

    PS: Rebekah – I’m American too and married to a kiwi! Stop by my blog and contact me :) Would love to be in touch!

    Would like to nominate my cousin Helaman and his family! This would be an amazing treat for them. I would love to suprise them with a gift like this! You are an amazing photographer!

    wow that is amazing even someone in nz joining in in the giveaway…i would love to win this and get photos of me and my two kids as im a single mum and don’t get many of me and the kids together, and to have professional ones done would be so amazing. thanks for the giveaway and good luck to everyone

  11. Paula (NZ) says:

    Can I nominate my cousin Sara? She’s had a horrid couple of years but always smiles. She’s married to a fantastic man and they are raising two beautiful little girls and would totally benefit from this.
    Britta, great opportunity for someone! Awesome prize. Shame you’re the only one in NZ but good on you for offering!

  12. Megan says:

    Wow that is so awesome. I live in Auckland and have two boys and would happily travel to Hamilton for the shoot, but also would happily have any of the other familys above win as well. What a great opportunity, and so exciting!! Good luck for all those that enter.

  13. Kirsty says:

    Wow, how great that a NZ photographer is included. Thank you Britta I would love to nominate my family, with two young boys we find it very difficult to get a nice family photo :) We are in Rotorua, just 1 hr drive from Hamilton (happy to travel).
    I’m off to check out Britta’s website now.

  14. Charlotte (NZ) says:

    That’s so fantastic that a NZ photographer is included. I would like to nominate my family. We’ve never had a professional photo taken – not even for our wedding. My daughter is nearly 3, and it would be really special to have a lovely photo of the 3 of us to display proudly in our home. Thanks for giving this opportunity.

  15. Kirsty says:

    Hello, I thought I would add my name even though you have so many great reply’s and worthy people to give such a great gift too! I thought this might be a great opportunity to do something that we miss out on because we homeschool our children :) I have a collection of school photos of me which my children LOVE going through and laughing at and it occurred to me that while we take heaps of pictures of us and them we don’t get that yearly school photo or class photo of the kids for their children to look back on when they become parents. For me this giveaway offers that opportunity to start that tradition for my class of two! Thank you for participating and giving us this opportunity in NZ.

    wow – great work, thanks for offering a kiwi photographer to the mix Britta!
    my family would love the chance to win. we have just ( 6 weeks ago) added a 2nd child to our family and would love photos to document this time in our lives. she already seems to be past the newborn stage and so she is reminding us how fleeting their childhoods are :>

  17. Thanks so much for this fantastic opportunity to win a photoshoot! The portraits above are amazing. My family would love to win; we have not had a professional family portrait done before. I, too, live in Auckland, but would be more than happy to travel to Hamilton.

    Good luck to all the entrants!

    Thanks Britta for offering this photo shoot – what an amazing idea of Becky’s!

    I’ve had a look at your website and love the fun shots you do…. I would love to surprise my husband with some great photos of our 2 small children (2.5 yrs and 6 mths). He works really hard and is a great father and husband and I think this would be a lovely snapshot of this stage in their life.

    We live in Akl and could easily come down for the photo shoot. I know the road well as he lived in Hamilton and I lived in Akl when we first met so I drove the road LOTS.

    (ps. I particularly love the shots you have taken with the children and the doughnuts!!)

  19. I love those photos!! I’m pretty self conscious and camera shy and because of that never got any family photos taken of us all when my first son was born. Now I’ve had my second (and last) son I’d love to get some photos done of our family before my boys get any older, I don’t want to look back in 5 years wishing I’d done something.

    We live in Auckland and would happily drive to Hamilton if we won :)
