West Auckland Family Photography: Magic Hour at Bethells Beach

I had such a great time capturing this family recently! The kids had a wonderful time exploring the beach while I snapped away.

I always love being able to capture families exactly as they are in their current season of life.

Not perfectly posed, no forced smiles.

Just real, happy moments - kids being kids - running wild, climbing the dunes, and laughing the most contagious laughs (I couldn’t help but laugh behind the lens at the same time too!)

These are the real memories that matter most. And it’s always such a privilege to freeze them in time for families.

Oh - and I’m sure it’s clear that my absolute favourite place to photograph family sessions is Bethells Beach - just 40 minutes from central Auckland, it always delivers the most stunning sunsets!

Here’s a small selection of moments from the shoot …
