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.

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.
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!
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!
This lovely family came to visit me for photos of their new baby boy, Cooper. He was a delight! We captured a few sibling and family snaps as well…
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.
I got to photograph this great family at a special spot at Lake Okareka over Summer. This family lives in Australia but was given a Voucher for a photoshoot by a lovely relative. Joel grew up at Lake Okareka so while on holiday he got to bring his family here and get some memorable family moments captured in the place he calls home. So cool to take time to do this with your loved ones!!
During a milestone birthday celebration, this cool family stopped for some quick family photos. Such a cool gift voucher for one of the daughters to give her Dad. Plenty of laughs and smiles, and all the combos captured in time for speeches :)
I love this spot... i have photographed a lot of families here and yet the shoots always look different. I took a gazillion photos of this stunning family of 5 and was hard to pick my most favourites for this blog. Each shoot I make sure we get ALL the combos including parents shots with each of their kids and individuals...
This little dot was easy-peasy to photograph... Lovely to photograph this family again and to see how doting her big sister was..
We had a quick family shoot with these nice people in the reserve. It was awesome to come back and photograph their twin boys again who stole peoples hearts in their 6 months shoot... These handsome boys nearly twinned birthdays with my twin girls, arriving just after! Anyway, check out these cheeky smiles...
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.
