TRADITIONAL OUTFITS AVAILABLE

For clients from the Pacific and Aotearoa, we are extremely privileged to have partnered with Tuiga Samoa and have access to traditional outfits made from cultural taonga/measina (treasures). These include:

·       hand made contemporary Tuiga Samoa (ceremonial crown),

·       traditional Ie Tonga (fine mats) woven from pandanus leaves,

·       piupiu and kahu kura made from korari (flax) and kura (feathers) and

·       siapo/ngatu/masi (tapa cloth) made from the bark of the mulberry tree

​

These incredible cultural measina have been meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, with knowledge passed down through generations. We take great pride in celebrating these artisans, their ancestors, and their craftsmanship by dressing current generations in stunning outfits from their homeland.  We believe that a portrait can foster connection and create a sense of belonging for both present and future generations. Our aim is to capture the beauty of multiple generations within your family, including great-grandparents and grandparents, while there is an opportunity to do so. We customise each photography session to reflect the unique personality and traits of our clients, ensuring every photo session is truly one-of-a-kind.
