Zen & Evan’s Maternity Shoot at Muriwai

Muriwai Beach has this incredible way of holding space for sweet, meaningful moments — and this maternity session was no exception. The evening light, the sound of the waves, and a couple absolutely buzzing with excitement made for the perfect combination.

This pair were so friendly right from the start, and they had the best vibe together — teasing, laughing, and constantly making each other giggle. That kind of natural chemistry is a dream to photograph. You could feel how much they genuinely enjoy each other’s company, which made every moment feel effortless and real.

Maternity sessions are always special, but there’s something extra lovely about being invited into a chapter where two people are about to become Mum and Dad. Capturing that anticipation, the softness between them, and the playful energy they still share is such an honour.

As we moved along the beach, they slipped easily between sweet cuddles and cheeky smiles, never taking themselves too seriously. That balance of tenderness and fun created the perfect mix of images — relaxed, joyful, and full of connection.

Why Muriwai Beach is ideal for maternity photography
The dramatic clifftops, rolling waves and soft golden light make Muriwai a standout location in Auckland. It’s spacious enough to explore and private enough to let couples be themselves, which always leads to beautiful, natural images.
