Its this time of the year again, celebrating special events and success of the year, looking forward to next year exciting and making plans!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the couples and families! It was such a pleasure to share with you all the beautiful, emotional and real moments in Auckland: engagement, pre-wedding photo shoots in stunning locations, family sessions on the beach, business branding headshots, gorgeous weddings with close friends and family! So many memories for years to come!

Enjoy these quick highlights of the year and Im looking forward to capture more meaningful moments next year - 2025! Exciting times ahead!

From my personal achievements - I been in World Winter Master Games in Italy and took 5th place in ice figure skating, also had skating trips in Oberstdorf (Germany), Sydney (Aus), Melbourne (Aus), and New Zealand Nationals in Christchurch (taking 2nd place). It was a honour to be an official photographer for few skating competitions through the season and capture all the moments of power and grace (from beginner to senior level, including Dwayne Yahao Li, first NZ Youth Olympics medalist)! It’s great when my personal sport hobby connects to professional - photography! Love my work!

Also my kids are finished primary and intermediate school, so new beginnings for our family next year!

I can not wait to see what future brings!

Merry Christmas to you and your family and a Happy New Year!

This is the perfect time to look back and reflect, how far we come, where we want to head, set some goals and look ahead!

I decided to share with you a simple grid of top 9 photos on my IG accounts @olgalevien and @levienphotography - you never know which images going to be the most favourite at the time you posting them and only time can tell. Even though likes are not matters, its a fun way to see “most popular” moments of the year.

Looking back, this year brought more freedom {after all the restrictions and lockdowns}, giving me an opportunity to travel overseas to Germany and also letting couples and families come from overseas to New Zealand. Exciting times connecting to new people and capturing some beautiful, emotional and real moments!

Looking forward, I decided for the right balance in my life with little ones to take only limited number of sessions, and only small weddings, concentrating on creating timeless memories in a best way possible without burning out and bring more creative juices and mojo flowing in my work and life, as well as some personal projects. Exciting times ahead!

Enjoy these best moments of the year {according to IG} highlights - top 9 at @olgalevien and then @levienphotography

Thank you for these moments and for your constant support and love! Happy New Year and happy holidays!
