Photography is the closest we get to time travel.


One day, when you're 80 years old and wishing for a chance to relive just one day from the time when the kids were little and the house was full of noise, your family photos are going to be the biggest treasure you've got. I want to take family photos that lets you relive this season every time you look at them, capturing the little details, the emotion and the story of your family. If you want photos that make you feel something, not just another perfect stock image - I'm your photographer!

I'm Moa, a Coromandel family photographer based in Cooks Beach, creating relaxed, storytelling family photography throughout Whitianga, Hahei, Hot Water Beach and the wider Coromandel Peninsula.


I use a mix of 35mm film and digital photography to capture you in a real and nostalgic way. When you choose me to capture your family, I don’t simply try to replicate a beautiful stock photo, I get to know your family and the season you’re in to capture your story with authenticity and emotion. I want your photos to bring you right back to this season of life when you're 80.


Whether you're a local family, regular visitors or on a holiday, I'd love to capture you as you are. I offer both intimate in-home sessions and outdoors photography in our beautiful local environment. Each session is individually designed to fit your family as we get to know each other before your session.

"Moa travelled to our land to photograph my family of five, plus growing baby bump, we did a mixture of digital and film shots, and I am bought to tears everytime I look at them all! She captured our family perfectly, made it fun and engaging for our wild kiddies, and somehow produced such magical shots of us all at once! The style was exactly what I envisioned, and they are all such treasures for my family to remember this phase of our lives. Thank you so much Moa!!"
