KOHANGA & KURA PHOTOGRAPHY
POIHAKENA PORTRAITS
Creating Portraits since 2014
Poihakena Portraits are now offering a Māori Portrait Service for Kohanga Reo & Kura Kaupapa. Our service is available to other early childcare and education providers as well.
Instead of your usual individual photos in school uniform we can dress your tamariki in kākahu and create beautiful portraits that capture their heritage. Families are welcome to send their children with other kakahu as well.
We will photograph your children both without kakahu and with that way you get a photo even if they dont want to wear a kakahu. We have a variety of kakahu in our wardrobe and with the help of your kaimahi or kaiako dress the children for portraits.
Our Philosophy
We want to build mana in our mokopuna and tamariki. We do this by creating beautiful portraits of them where their whakapapa as Maori is front and centre.
By proudly displaying the photos of our mokopuna in our homes we show them they have pride of place in our hearts and are beautiful.
Portraits are meant to be cherished and passed on to future generations as a taonga.
