We absolutely adore putting on the winter series and this year it’s been Stella watching everyone progress, and watching the sportsmanship that has been 10/10.

So from a very tired but happy MHA team,
Thank you all 🧡

Lucy has tried her absolute hardest to have at least one photo per person - If you think you are missing please let us know and we will check if we have missed a photo! [email protected]

They are sectioned by height class, and all prize giving photos are in the misc. folder. Even if you weren't in a prize giving, we still recommend having a peak in that folder, as there could be a random photo of you!

Photos are prices at 10nzd pp. We have also added some package options so make sure you have a look at those for some cheeky money off!! 💰
A lot of work has gone on behind the scenes getting these photos ready to share with you - they are watermarked on the album, and this will be removed upon purchase. We would love to be tagged in any social media post using our photos too!

See you all at the finale!! 🥳🥳📸
