Mount Maunganui Beach Family Session
Today, after so many months, I finally got to meet this beautiful whānau. We booked Jaz and Zek's session in months ago but today was finally the day and it was absolutely perfect.
I've never actually met Jaz before today but she's made me more meals than I can count. You see, Jaz owns the very popular pink island foods eatery on Totara Street at the Mount; 'Eze Feedz'. Let me tell you now, there's nothing that doesn't taste amazing. Jaz has the most amazing Fry bread burgers, Seafood Chowder, Mussel Fritters, Creamed Paua, Raw Fish, Salmon Wings.. it's all so bloody delicious and now I'm starving. Eze Feedz is the business Jaz opens from Monday to Friday to support her and her son, and I couldn't support them enough. We seriously love this business and I've fallen in love with this little fam, too. I haven't laughed this hard at a session in the entire (almost) seven years of shooting! We had so much fun and SO MANY laughs! Jaz and Zek were just so willing to have fun with it, and I am beyond grateful that they let their guard down and relaxed because we got some beautiful photos! I don't know anyone with a bond like these two.
It's so special and so unique to them that it makes me so privileged to have been the one to document it for them.
I hope you enjoy just a few of my favourite images from their session yesterday. And remember, if you find yourself cruising down Totara street, stop in, see Jaz (& maybe even Zek!) and support their little whānau business. I promise it's going to amazing things.
