This was my second session with Lilly, and it was every bit as fun as our first. This time we headed to the stunning Piha Beach on Auckland's west coast, where we spent the evening creating a beautiful collection of beach portraits.

Lilly brought along four different bikinis, giving us plenty of variety throughout the session. Each look worked perfectly with the incredible scenery, allowing us to create a gallery that felt fresh, natural, and full of personality.

Piha truly is one of those locations that has everything. From the reflections on the wet sand and dramatic waves to the rock pools, dunes, and rugged coastline, every turn offered another beautiful backdrop. It made the perfect setting for this relaxed and creative session.

Working with Lilly is always such a pleasure. We spend just as much time laughing as we do taking photos, and that relaxed atmosphere always shines through in the final images.

As the sun began to set, we finished amongst the sand dunes, where the soft golden light created some of my favourite images from the entire session. It was the perfect way to end such a fun evening.
