I’ve got to have the best job in the world, right?! I mean, who else gets to run around on the beach on a warm summer night, enjoying the last of the sunshine, looking out across the ocean, and getting swamped a rogue wave (luckily at the end of the shoot!)

The Nel family moved to New Zealand from South Africa a few years ago and it’s home for them now. They are a close-knit, super fun family and absolutely lovely to hang out with.

Thanks for trusting me to capture your family memories, Nel family! It was an absolute pleasure.
