A fun morning with the Preston Family – Ocean View Beach, Dunedin
As a Dunedin photographer, I have the pleasure of capturing all kinds of families, but my recent session with the Preston family at Ocean View Beach was one for the books! Imagine golden sands, gentle waves, and three lively kids who were determined to turn our session into an Olympic-level sand sprint event. Spoiler alert: I was not prepared for that level of cardio!
From the get-go, the goal was simple—keep it relaxed and let the kids be themselves. And wow, did they take that to heart! Within minutes, shoes were abandoned, seaweed became an impromptu wig (thank you, young master Preston), and giggles filled the salty air. The best kind of family photos are the ones where you can feel the joy, and this shoot was overflowing with it.
One of my favourite moments was when the kids decided that ‘posing’ was overrated and instead opted for a game of chase with their parents.
The beauty of family photography is capturing the little in-between moments—the wind in their hair, the sneaky hand-holding, and the way Mum looks at her little ones when they think she’s not watching. These are the memories that make a gallery special, and the Preston family delivered them in abundance.
If you’re looking for a Dunedin photographer to capture your family in a way that’s authentic, fun, and full of heart (bonus points if you also enjoy beach sprints), get in touch! Let’s create something beautiful together.
