Candid Motherhood & Family Photography at Sunset in the Manawatu


I had so much fun capturing Rachel (also my gorgeous sister!) and her beautiful children during a sunset family photoshoot in the Manawatu, nestled between Palmerston North and Ashhurst, right where we played as kids! Its such a privilege to capture these precious memories ✨ What a blessing siblings are — built-in best friends for life!

The golden light created the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and natural session. The kids made the most of being outdoors—running up the hills, throwing rocks, tumbling in the grass, and simply being free. These unfiltered, real moments highlight the magic of childhood, the kind of memories parents treasure as the years fly by.

The final gallery is a collection of images that tell their family story beautifully—candid, authentic, and full of love. Every frame captures the essence of summer evenings in the Manawatu and the timeless connection between a mum and her children.


Let me capture your people, your place, your real moments — boots, dust, and all 💛
