Family Portraits Christchurch : Book Fundraiser – LOVE and music

Do you love music? Would you love to be able to help provide music education to the people of Ōtautah Christchurch?
Christchurch School of Music – Te Kura Puoro is a place where the whole family can learn music in the same place at the same time!
Whether it’s learning a new instrument, developing your skills on the instrument you already play, or joining one of our many orchestras, ensembles, and performing groups – they can cater for all ages and abilities and help you find your groove.
This is a fundraising project to help bring community together through the joy of music.

How it works:
My usual family portrait session fee is reduced from $99 to $65.
The whole $65 goes to the Christchurch School of Music.
The person/people have a fun portrait session with Juliette from Etta Images.
The best portrait goes into a beautiful hard cover coffee table book.
You have the option of purchasing prints for yourself, at my usual print pricing, which starts at $169.
We can do other portraits at the session too, eg general family portriats.
Sessions are in Christchurch, unless otherwise agreed before booking.
The book will be designed and printed once I have photographed all the sessions (this can take a year or two!!), and will be additional to purchase ( Book price around $90, still to be determined)

FAQ:
Q – Can you come to my house in outside of Christchurch or Canterbury?
