Whitianga family photographer
I'm Moa, a Whitianga family photographer based in Cooks Beach, creating relaxed, storytelling family photography throughout Whitianga, Hahei, Hot Water Beach and the wider Coromandel Peninsula.
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.
Whitianga is a beautiful place for family photos. We're lucky to be surrounded by stunning beaches and nature reserves that make taking beautiful photos easy. A few of my favourite local beaches are Buffalo beach, Hahei beach and Cooks beach. The best time of the day for these beaches are either during sunrise, sunset or golden hour (within a couple hours of sunrise and sunset). During summertime, this is usually between 6-8am and 6-8pm, and in wintertime it's between 7-9am and 3-5pm. Here are some photos I've taken of families around Whitianga.
