Kia Ora e te whanau!

Paku pānui 😅

I have decided I will no longer be continuing on with Photography! At least for the near future anyway.
Maybe one day I’ll pick it back up again but in the meantime I will be selling the gear I have left in preparation for our new baby’s arrival! I’d rather pass it on then allow it to continue gathering dust 😂

I just want to take this time to thank each and every one of you who have been along for the journey and I have felt privileged each time you have allowed me to capture your memories or be part of your special days 🫶🏽

From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

I had the honour of not only photographing but being part of one of my best mates weddings a month ago !

It was a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding and my eyes were leaking most of the day 😂

I love you guys and I am forever in your guys corner!
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your guys special day ❤️

Kia Ora e te whanau! Short read 😜

Allow me to reintroduce myself!
My name is Pokaikaha, Pokai to most!
I am proud Māmā of 2, Wife of 1👀😂
Aunty and sister to too many and Daughter of my mum and dad 😂
I am Rotorua born, Murupara raised and currently reside in Napier, Hawke's Bay!

I have been away trying to be a full time worker for the past year but recently resigned so I could be home with our kids. But ya girl needs her energy drink putea and to be able to afford her coffee beans 😂

I've been seeing Koha sessions going around lately and as a way to pick my camera back up I wanted to jump in on the Koha session bandwagon!
If you get whakamā ( shy ) about being awkward or shy around professional photographers or the camera itself and want a laid back approach without compromising on quality photos I may be your girl!

Otherwise have a beautiful evening e te whanau!
I look forward to hearing from you xx
