Extended Family Photography Session at Muriwai Beach, Auckland
Capturing the essence of family is always a privilege, but when three generations come together at the stunning Muriwai Beach, the experience becomes truly unforgettable. This recent session was filled with laughter, love, and the kind of connection that makes my job so rewarding.
Why Muriwai Beach is Ideal for Family Sessions:
Muriwai Beach offers a unique blend of natural beauty and diverse backdrops. From the sweeping black sands to the rugged cliffs and the iconic gannet colony, the location provides endless opportunities for memorable photos. The evening light here is particularly magical, casting a warm glow that enhances every shot.
Tips for a Successful Extended Family Photoshoot:
Plan Ahead: Coordinate outfits that complement each other without being too matchy-matchy. Neutral tones with pops of color work well.
Focus on interaction: Chat, laugh, and explore together—real connections create the best family portraits, no props needed.
Engage All Ages: Ensure activities are suitable for all family members, from toddlers to grandparents.
Be Patient: Allow time for breaks and ensure everyone is comfortable to capture authentic moments.
This session at Muriwai Beach was a testament to the strength and warmth of family bonds. I'm grateful to have been part of preserving these memories for such a wonderful family.
