Amy Hamblett Film is a family photography and film business based on the Matakana Coast, north of Auckland, at 21 East Street in Mahurangi East. It shoots candid, relaxed images and short films of real family life, rather than posed portraits. The business says it does not ask clients to pose or smile a particular way, and it does not bring many props. Sessions can take place at home, at the beach, in a field, on a farm or anywhere else the family chooses. Session types include maternity, newborn and baby photography, family photography and film at home or outdoors, a combined photo and film option, and headshots and branding work. Clients fill in an online form, and the business says it replies within three business days. The business is aimed at young and growing families. Our pick in Mahurangi East for a family who want honest, unposed pictures of everyday life.
