Join us on Saturday 29 June for our first Family Pop-in event for 2019 - these super popular, fast and fabulous family portrait sessions are just 5 minutes per family so you'll be in and out in a flash.

The $90 session fee includes 1-3 beautiful portraits delivered to your online account within days, there are no more to choose from and nothing more to pay. Family Pop-ins are the quickest, easiest way to regularly update your family photos.

Note: Family Pop-ins are suitable for groups of up to two adults and up to two children only. Families with 3 children can opt to add an extra child for +$50.

This special is not suitable for families with more than 3 children nor extended family groups - as 5 minutes just isn't enough to get everyone together!

Along with landline phones and bar soap, top sheets are allegedly an "endangered species".

It's a topic of discussion that crops up every year or so and in some places, using a top sheet when you make your bed is almost unheard of. What's your preference?

Come along to the Wellington waterfront tomorrow night at 6pm for Ahi Kā - Matariki ki Pōneke 2019. The opening processions for this year’s Matariki celebration, Nga Wai Piāta (Streams of Light), and learn about the journey urban fish take.

“After hatching, we swim downstream and emerge in the harbour where we live for part of our life cycle. After about 3 to 5 months we begin our journey back to where we came from, which in some cases means overcoming stormwater pipes, concrete shoots and culverts. This task involves us using our strong pelvic fins to grip tight to things such as tree roots to make our way back upstream.” Banded Kōkupu.

Around the world, communities, schools, businesses, groups and people from all walks of life are taking big and small steps in solidarity with refugees. This World Refugee Day, we challenge everyone in New Zealand to join together and take a step to make a difference.

You can take part in the #StepWithRefugees campaign, where participants will collectively walk, run and cycle 1 billion miles - the distance refugees cover each year to reach safety, by adding your steps here: stepwithrefugees.org...

Another option is to volunteer with the New Zealand Red Cross as a Refugee Support Volunteer. Volunteers help families start again, while teaching them about New Zealand culture and connecting them with people from the community.

For anyone based in the Wairarapa, Masterton Neighbourhood Support has a programme called 'WeConnect' that matches new residents from diverse backgrounds including refugees to a local buddy. If you're interested in volunteering or supporting the programme in other ways you can email Masterton Neighbourhood Support Area Coordinator, Cathy Cameron, at: cathy@connectingcommunities.org.nz
