Pataua North, around 30mins east of Whangarei was the beautiful setting for this early evening family photo session.

If you are a local, you will probably recognise the famous walk-bridge that connects the north and side sides of Pataua. Home to many brave swimmers who jump from the bridge amongst much laughter at high tide.

Being 4yrs old is such a super cute stage in our kids' lives.

I asked a few friends what they loved most when their kids turned 4yrs and I loved this response:

"Your babies are turning into real little people and they are just genuinely excited at all the new things they are discovering. You get slightly more room to breathe when they turn 4yrs (unless you have toddlers following in behind that is!). They have interesting opinions and thought and make great conversation partners. As a friend said to me “They are still "yours", in a bittersweet way, as they become more of the worlds when they start school”.

In this session you can see that 4year old Mia was definitely the star of the show. She was an absolute delight to photograph along with her Mum and Dad.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE WAY TO DISPLAY YOUR MEMORIES?

Beach sessions will give you lots and lots of fabulous photos! They are perfect for displaying in a beautiful album. Or if you love looking at your pics everyday, then these really cool photo collage frames can tell a whole story in just one frame.
