Muriwai Beach Mini 2025

Beach Mini Sessions at Muriwai Beach | Auckland Family Photography by Wonderferris

Our recent Beach Mini Sessions were photographed over two golden-hour afternoons at the stunning Maori Bay/Muriwai Beach, one of our favourite coastal spots in West Auckland. With families, couples, and kids playing barefoot in the sand, these mini sessions were full of joy, movement, and connection — the kind of moments that feel easy but look timeless. Shot with soft natural light and a relaxed approach, these images are perfect for updating your walls, website, or socials.

If you’re looking for Auckland mini photography with a laid-back vibe and breathtaking beach backdrops, Wonderferris brings that West Coast magic to life.
