The Hoyles in the Mount! Extended Family photos on Moturiki Island

This big extended family came for photos with me recently and they were so much fun and easy to photograph! Shot on the beautiful Moturiki Island in Mount Maunganui, one of my favourite photo spots.

The Douglas, Extended Family Photos Mount Maunganui

This awesome family booked an extended family shoot. Shot at the base of the Mount on Main Beach, Mount Maunganui. How special getting the cousins together and what a great gift for the grandparents.

The gorgeous Goads!

Photographing my awesome childhood friend and his mini-me… seriously look at those two! What a sweet family this three makes + Lucy the dog, when she was interested!
Another beautiful evening on Mount Maunganui beach. Just a few of the snaps from this shoot!

Harford Extended Family Photoshoot ~ Papamoa Beach

Wow 16 family members got together for this beach photoshoot. This extended family were great fun to photograph… What cool photos for the children to look back on in years to come!

Helen + Quake, the handsome dog

Quake the handsome dog, needed a photoshoot …. Of course I was up for the challenge of chasing a Boxer Dog around the beach for photos! This handsome dog has been with Helen for over 8 years now and his love and loyalty to his owner showed through (despite the excitement of all the new smells on the beach!) X

The Verhoevens family photos, Mount Maunganui Beach

I photographed this lovely family in the dunes over Summer. I had no trouble getting smiles from them! It was great to capture some photos here in Mount Maunganui before they moved away. Hopefully these photos will remind them of the fun time they had living here in the Bay of Plenty.

On the Beach in June with the Rutherfords

On a slightly chilly evening with a beautiful sunset, I photographed the lovely Rutherford family. Three handsome boys ran, jumped, climbed then smiled, laughed and hugged. What a fun family! Here are some shots from the evening.
