Here is a wonderful set of photos taken in black and white.
They exude the joy of living, freedom and vitality.
They reflect an extraordinary choice of life that makes you dream!
This choice is that of Niki Boon who first lived in Scotland, where she worked as a physiotherapist.
But one day, she decided to come back home to New Zealand.
This is where she not only founded her family but also where she lived 2 of her passions to the fullest:nature and black and white photography.
His family, nature and the photo ... The 3 passions of Niki Boon will combine to give birth to superb photos.
The photographer lives with her 4 children on a large property of 4 hectares.
What is special about this area? There is everything you need to live comfortably, but no form of modern technology.
There is no television, internet, smartphone or tablet.
On the other hand, we come across happy children who have fun playing outside, without ever getting bored.
And with her camera, Niki Boon is there to capture those moments of simple happiness.

Without a screen, children use all their energy imagining games. And if nothing limits children's imagination, then it is limitless.
Free as the air, the children live their day to the fullest with boundless energy.
And when their photographer mom is there to capture these moments, it's just beautiful and it exudes happiness.
Look at these splendid photos in which the deep blacks contrast with the luminous whites.
