Your Family – Earthquake fundraiser – Portrait Photographer

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

Most of us have been effected by the recent Christchurch Earthquake in some way or another. You may have sadly lost someone close to you, had family + friends rescued from the rubble, or feel sad, for part of our nation has been badly damaged.

There are many wonderful people out there organizing events, auctions and support in some way for the people of Christchurch and I know you will be giving back as much as you can in your own special way.

And now, I am asking YOU to support my auction!

Join me on TRADE ME with an online auction

The Winner will receive

Family Portrait Session by Marinkovich Photography Ltd
(available in Taupo, Rotorua, Tauranga, Matamata, Hamilton, Auckland and anywhere else in between)

16″ x 24″ Wrapped Canvas (of your choice, ready to hang + enjoy)

5 – 5″ x 7″ portrait prints

A voucher including the above prize will be posted to you along with a copy of the Donation Receipt once funds have been cleared.

You will not only be giving back to Christchurch but you will also be gaining an important art piece of your family to be cherished for decades. (all images will be archived)

All funds raised will be donated to the RED CROSS and a donation receipt will be emailed to the winner.

We can all loose family anytime without any warning. It is times like these that we realize just how important our family really is.

I am a mother, daughter, grand-daughter, sister + wife-to-be. I am also a professional portrait photographer based in Tauranga. Please join me in raising as much funds as we can for the people of Christchurch.

How will you remember your family?

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

We have just got back from spending a few days up at the family farm, and while I was there I came across some of my Dad’s slides he had taken in his younger days :-)  Excited about my find, I set up Dads old Plus-jector that night while my nana was over for dinner, so she too could enjoy remembering those times. It was so cool to hear all the little stories that came with each slide, too see my grandparents, my parents, my aunties & uncles & my sisters all included in this tray of memories.

What really stood out when listening to each story, were the people included in each slide,  and what they were doing at that time, who they looked like & where they are now. It was interesting to see some of who were in our lives then are no longer with us, but it is great to have these images to remember them and share stories of them with my daughter so she too can carry on these memories.

After this little trip down memory lane, it has made me want to take more pictures than ever before, to create more memories for myself & my family and for other families, so they too can share their stories with future generations.

Do you have a special family photo? If so, I would love to see it.  Simply become a fan on facebook (click the link on the right) and add your photo to the ‘Special Family Photo’ album and one lucky person will win a Family Portrait session, a 16″ x 24″ Canvas Art Piece, plus a $150 Gift Voucher to give to a friend. Expires 31st January 2010.
