Photo Diary: Sunset Shoot at Piha Beach

Captured: November 2019

When my friend, Kendra, of Kendra Roberts Photography, said she wanted to do a sunset photoshoot out at Piha Beach, I thought it would be a great opportunity to get back out over to Auckland’s rugged West Coast and build my own portfolio at the same time. So we headed out there at sunset, and because it was low tide, we went right to the end of the beach, past The Keyhole, into The Gap, and shot at Puaotetai Bay as well – an area of the beach I had never ventured to before, so that was exciting! Beach holidays here had always been during high tide hours, for me.

Enjoy our collaboration. More of Kendra’s work can be found here.
