Lucy has been trying to get me in wellington for quite some time now. She saw me at Simondium at the “Kamersvol Geskenke” exhibition last year. Every time we made a booking it was raining and finally we could get together last week. I have to say what a lovely couple!
Lucy was so excited for the shoot, it even excited me :) Their house was spectacular! It is an old farm house and they are renovating it as time goes by. What a pleasure to use for photographs! There were so many props to work with that I took about 900 images! I hardly ever take more than 250 and then normally narrow it down to the best 60 – 80, but Lucy will have at least 150 – 200 stunning ones to choose from!
She also runs an framing business form her home, so I’m sure these photos are going all over the house :)
This one is my favourite family portrait I’ve ever taken so far…It just has so much character.
This little antique bench was so great!
Yup…she feeds her own chickens on their yard…so cute!
Wow, really some of your best family and kids portraiture. Well done Christine. Really love the pictures. The location and the props (like the chickens) makes the images fun.
Oh absolutely gorgeous! I love them all, especially the chicken and the shoes shot
WOW!!!! Ek kan nie wag om die res van die foto’s te sien nie!!Dankie Christine, ons is mal oor die fotos. Jy en Adri was baie oulik!!!Jy het n natuurlike aanvoeling om met kleintjies te werk.
Christene, you are obviously in touch with people and their emotions.Your photos are not just natural or posed shots, they have that extra wow factor, a little bit of substance, they actually tell a little story, very real and hands on… great. Also, with Mia as a model, I bet you all had bucket loads of fun!
I hope to see some more pics though!!! Chrsitmas is coming up… Father Christmas, Chrsitmas lights..Mia and the dogs… haha.. Im getting excited now!!! come on Lucy and Duan..we’d love to see more of you.
Dit is absoluut freaking fantasties! Jissie Christine, well done met jou sukses as fotograaf. Ek volg jou loopbaan nou al ‘n geruime tydjie, 2jaar plus en as ek vir jou sê ek is daagliks op jou website, bedoel ek daagliks! Dit is net so vrek lekker om jou foto’s te kyk, die warm gevoel & inspirasie, ek is woonagtig in die Platteland en doen seker al ook vir 4jaar fotografie, konsentreer meer op studio werk met families & kinders, maar jy is vir my so groot inspirasie & idiol, soos Jasmine vir jou is, glo my, is jy vir my. Sal waarlik ‘n voorreg wees om jou eendag te ontmoet! Voorspoed met jou loopbaan! Plattelandse groete
Dit is fantastiese kwaliteit en pragtig! Die een waar Mia in die blombak sit is vir my die heel mooiste. Shoe, my asem was skoon weg.
PRAGTIG ! Hou van die skoene Mia !
HI Christine,
Love jou natuurlike aanvoeling vir jou familie foto’s!
Het gewonder : neem jy jou softboxes saam as jy binneshuis skiet of werk jy net met jou flash?
Ook, sien ek jy hou daarvan om jou families (buite foto’s ) in skaduwee te hou, wat natuurlik seker die “preferred” way is van keer dat highlights uitgeblaas raak…?
Great foto’s, ek is ‘n groot fan van natuurlike foto’s en wou sommer ook hoor of jy ook studio werk doen of verkies jy die natuurlike foto’s bo alles.
Groete!
Riana
To all: Wow! I’ve never had so many comments for one post before! This is a record! Thanks guys…It’s great to hear everyone’s feedback!
Riana: I hardly ever take my studio lights to shoots, only when I have to. I love to shoot with natural light. Prefer no flash, but here and there you have to…so with this indoor shoot I used my skyport with an off camera flash that my assistant bouched against a reflector. For outdoor I always choose shaded areas and there where there is no shade I bounce a bit of reflector. I hope this helps :)
