Mums in front this Mother’s Day

April 11, 2017 by Momento Photobooks

Mums are the protectors of family memories but rarely do they get in front of the camera! In this post we speak to Niki Boon, who takes photos of her free spirited children’s existence in Marlborough, NZ. We ask about her inspiration and entice her to take some precious family portraits – for the kid’s sake.

But in a few years when you and your children look back on the photographic memories you’ve created it […]

Keeping a healthy balance with the kids this Easter

April 17, 2014 by Momento Photobooks

Easter is a time to enjoy delicious home cooked feasts, Easter egg hunts, hot cross buns, fun craft ideas and to simply spend time together as a family. It is also a time where many people and children easily overindulge, especially when the focus is on chocolate. Whether you go away on holidays or stay at home it is important to remember that eating, enjoying and sharing good food (yes, even chocolate) with friends during the Easter break is part […]

Mum The Memory Keeper

May 6, 2013 by Momento Photobooks

She sees even my tiniest successes as one for her too. I’m not a Mum but I would love to be one day, and the only way I can even start to comprehend what mine has done to get me this far is to look through the […]
