Yesterday I met Ava. She was so tiny, I was scared to touch her! Apparently she only weighed a little more than 2kg when she was born. Ava was only 2 weeks old when I photographed her. Every time I photograph a baby I realize how amazing life is!
I recently blogged about my friend João, also known as J’something. He is an amazing artist and has a super awesome voice! He is magically talented and as I said previously, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, you guys have competition on its way! So it you like acoustic music, join J’something’s fan page on facebook to be updated about his cd releases. João is going big!
Last weekend we decided to do something fun, unplanned and this is what happened*…
*Side note: Sunset is soooo the best time to take photos!
My little sister, Lydia asked me to do a shoot of her and her best friend Marelize. If you know my sister, you’ll definitely agree that he constantly has a smile on her face! She is super friendly and loves people!
While I was photographing the decor for Lena and Rune’s wedding I was accompanied by Misty’s (the coordinator for the wedding) little one. I just had to post these photos, because I love the cute smile and the fluffy outfit.
Last night I posted the beautiful Norwegian couple, Lena & Rune’s photos on my blog. Within minutes Lena sent me a email. When I receive emails like this it makes me smile:
Over some coffee I asked them why they chose South Africa over Norway and then Lena explained that they loved good food and that when she stayed in Cape Town she’d always walk past Charly’s Bakery. She then said that there was just no place in Norway that made the same delicious chocolate cake as Charly’s Bakery! You’ve got to love that story! Priceless.
I love receiving questions from photographers, because it actually makes me think about what I’m doing, why I’m doing it and how I’m doing it. So I thought I’d answer them om the blog so that more people can benefit from them.
Our last stop on the trip was staying in the Magothlo lodge. Magotlho means camel thorn, which is a local tree. The lodge is build on a river bank, with a very big “stoep” (wooden deck) that overlooked the river.
The island experience was probably the one thing I will NEVER EVER forget in my life! Just to give you an idea: No bathrooms! No electricity! Just a little hanging shower from a tree! And luckily an awesome chef called Royal!
The first morning we headed out on the boat at around 6am to catch the sunrise. I’ve never seen anything like that. It was totally beautiful! Seeing the colors change on the horizon..a little golden ball appearing and then higher, higher, LENS flair! WOW! Absolutely gorgeous!
After 2 days in Mankwe lodge we drove to the Mboma Boat station in the Okavango Delta (through Moremi Game Reserve). In Moremi we saw our first lions and not just off there in the distance, super close up!
