Sandy toes, windswept hair, and sea splashes...


There’s something so wild, free, and beautiful about a golden hour family photoshoot at the beach, you just can’t beat a sunset session!


Papamoa Beach, right here in the Bay of Plenty, offers the most stunning backdrop for family photography. With golden sand dunes, breath-taking sunsets, and the iconic Mount Maunganui in the distance, it’s the perfect setting for capturing those natural, joy-filled moments.


If you’re based in Tauranga or the wider Bay of Plenty area, a family photoshoot at Papamoa Beach is one to add to your wish list. These sessions are all about documenting your children growing up wild and free in beautiful Aotearoa, New Zealand, and turning those fleeting moments into timeless photographs you’ll treasure forever.


Whether you’re looking for a Tauranga family photographer or planning a Papamoa beach photoshoot, this is a chance to celebrate your family story in one of New Zealand’s most beautiful coastal locations.
