| Some words from Bev | |
 |
The photographs you see surrounding these words are not just of clients' families but are also of my own family. The pictures shown here were the last I ever took of my Mum and Dad when they visited New Zealand from the UK in 2005. Less than 12 months later my Dad died of multiple brain aneurisms and my Mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour just six months after that. She died within another 10 months. |
 |
I became a photographer at about the age of 14. I wanted to document my world - my friends, my family, my dog, my school. I can look back now over the past 30 years of memories - some in frames, most in albums. I can transport myself back in time to my first school disco, my first disastrous perm and, most importantly, the people who made up my life at the time. My parents are now no more and husband and my 2 daughters are my only family. In some ways, though, it feels like Mum and Dad are still with me when I look at their photos hanging on the wall. I wouldn't be without these pictures that bring me closer to their memory and to the people they were before they became ill. |
 |
It is with all the above in mind that I approached Mary Potter Hospice with my portraiture idea. To try to impress upon 'well' people the importance of photos of their loved ones - to have these memories to treasure for a lifetime - and at the same time help Mary Potter Hospice with a donation of $100 from each portraiture session. |

Don't
put off those photos you've thought about being taken any longer.
My own experience has proven that there may not be a 'next time' or
'next year'. You won't regret it. It'll be fun and you'll have some
great pictures. It won't cost the earth and you'll also help Mary
Potter Hospice in the process. I hope to hear from you. Best wishes Bev
