Zanzo Families Flashback

/

These guys are a Zanzo family from way back!

Victoria has been gracing our Hobart portrait studio since before she was born and her big sister, Gabrielle, has been there every step of the way too.

Along with their parents, Renee and Jared, they are a family we just love to welcome back again and again and always get a kick out of seeing them grow closer together with every visit.

The family first visited Zanzo Portraits back in 2012 when she was gloriously pregnant with their second child. Gabrielle was very proud to tell us how she was going to become a big sister.  It's such an exciting time for children and a massive milestone in their lives. 

It wasn't long before they were back with Victoria for their next shoot as a newly formed family of four.

Recently, the Hill family came back with their dogs Jasmine and Caesar to be a part of our Pooch Project, a photographic calendar to raise money for Brightside Farm Sanctuary.

Jasmine the Energiser Bunny of the dog world. A super-charged ball of bounce and perfectly offset by her best friend, the laidback and noble Caesar. Both found their Forever Family with the Hills after being adopted from local dog homes.

Thank you all so much for letting us capture the spirit and love of your family over the years. It's been one to remember and we can't wait to hang out with you again.

Zanzo love to document the evolution of families and turn them into artwork for them to enjoy for years to come. If you'd like your own Zanzo Family Portrait Experience, get in touch with us by phoning the studio on 6223 1155 today.

Making Memories - How to find the perfect gift

/

December has suddenly arrived and the time has come to dig out the Christmas decorations, create the perfect Christmas playlist and get your jolly on!

Of course, along with all the jingle bells and mistletoe, there is the gift-giving. What should be a true joy of the season, can weigh down even the most merry of souls as they struggle to find the ‘perfect’ gift. 

This year, rather than buying toys and gadgets that are quickly left to gather dust, we want to help people make memories by giving family and friends opportunities to spend time together and create something totally unique.

The best way that we know how to do this is with a Zanzo Portrait Experience!

For every day leading up to Christmas, Zanzo will be revealing a brand new limited-time offer. For 24 hours only, you can purchase a truly special gift from $50 for a loved one to have their own Zanzo Portrait Experience.

Every day the special Zanzo gift offer will change so keep an eye on our website or follow us on Facebook to see what we’re up to next!

To spread even more cheer and truly give back to our community, know that every dollar that you spend when purchasing these special offers, Zanzo will forward directly to the ABC Giving Tree.

FRESH FACES IN THE SPOTLIGHT AND WE DON'T MEAN POLITICS!

/

Springtime marks a new start for many so we’re taking it as an opportunity to freshen things up. 

We sought the expert advice of Social Media Consultant, Jen Murnaghan at Digital Dandy to give us some tips on forward planning and making the most of our online presence. Last week, the Zanzo Team took a day off from our usual organised chaos of kids and pets bouncing around the studio to sit down and have an inward look at how we can do things better.

One of the hot tips we received from Digital Dandy was to make more regular blog posts. We admit, it is definitely something that we always mean to do but don’t set aside time to get it done. Well,  all of that is about to change! We have so many stories to share with you about the gorgeous families we meet plus offer some hot tips of our own on how you can capture family moments at home, whether it be on a whizzbang digital camera or your mobile while out and about.

Another thing on our to-do list is to get some fantastic behind-the-scenes shots of how we do what we do. To kickstart this initiative, we have began The Great Zanzo Family Search. We’re looking for some chilled out, fun families of all shapes and sizes that wold love the chance to have professional portraits created for them. If that sounds like you and you are cool with the idea of your images being used for print and digital marketing, follow the link below. Be quick though, The Search ends Wednesday 16 September at 10pm.

The Wombmates Project - a celebration of multiple proportions

/

Last week, oh oops, the week before last week (gee time goes fast!), was Multiple Birth Awareness Week and I (Dean) and the team here at Zanzo were VERY excited to launch the Wombmates Project - a celebration of multiple proportions.

In the coming months, we will be looking for and photographing Twins and Triplets, (and Quads if we can find any!) to celebrate what it means to be (and have) a Womb Mate. 

Your $88 participation fee will be donated to the Tasmanian Multiple Birth Association who are a fantastic community group dedicated to supporting families with multiples all across Tasmania. More info on the website here.

There is something so fascinating about twins! Through this project we will explore the different relationships and expressions, the similarities and differences and above all the personalities that make up the community of Tasmanian twins.

We are looking for twins of all ages - from new born to nineties (unless there are some 100+ year olds out there somewhere - that would be awesome!) to take part in this project. Once the shoots are all done we will hold an exhibition to showcase the images and we'd like them all to be really different so, we'll be shooting these sessions both in our studio in the Hobart CBD and on location around Tasmania. Yep that's right! We are coming up to the north of the state later in the year. Click here to put your name on the Northern Wombmates list.

We have already had HEAPS of interest and the first round of shoots start next week! I am so excited about this project and will try really hard to share the odd image on here whenever I get a chance.

If you or someone you love is a twin or has twins, give us a call to be a part of this exciting project. We are looking forward to meeting you really soon!
