One of the cutest baby shoots I’ve ever done, must have been Amone’s baby shoot. Her mom, Jene, bought the most gorgeous red dress with a big red bow for her head. It was just to cute! When Jene mailed me to say they will be in Stellenbosch in September, I knew it was going to be [...]
It was probably one of the craziest weeks this year! I shot a wedding on the Friday, again on the Saturday and the Monday at 5:30am I was on my way to Johannesburg, only for the day. It’s the first time ever, where I was flown up to do a shoot for only one day :)
This little girl was definitely not impressed with the camera staring at her. First she stared back and then luckily later on she started smiling :) She’s such a cutie pie!
Adel & Ernst live just around the corner from me. Last week they asked me to do a shoot of their family and so we had some fun around their house.
Note to self: When photographing kids, they hardly ever do what you want them to do, so just go with the flow and shoot… :) The natural ones are the best anyway :)
Last week I did a photo shoot for the Basson family. The light was perfect and the kids were so cute!
There is something magical about babies. I look at their feet and eyes and ears and I just realize what a miracle they are. Dino and his mom visited me the other day to do his first photo shoot. What a cutie pie!
While in London I had the privilege to photograph little Amoné with her parents. This little one absolutely earned an “awesome baby” prize! She is just sooo adorable! She pulled faces and smiled for a full hour and a half. I’m sure that is a record! And my favourite of all…her thick, curly hair!
Whenever iaan and I want to go out for dinner the first place that come to our mind is Cognito Restaurant7 in Stellenbosch. It’s by far the best combination of good food, great service and a lovely atmosphere.
One of the owners, Diani had a little girl a few months ago and so I had the privilege to photograph her. Isn’t she just totally adorable!!
If you love “old school cool”, you’d want everything in Lucy’s house. Lucy lives in Wellington and when I did their first family shoot I thought I was going to faint, just because she has so many cool props around her house. Lucy and her husband, Duan bought a old farm house and renovated it. The house is surrounded with the most beautiful pots, chairs and everything else a photographer could dream of.
This year Lucy asked me to come and shoot her sister and together with all 3 kids. So we played around and had some fun..
Alexé and Raynie are close friends of ours and their little baby boy, Obet-Eden was born in April. Iaan and I arrived at their home and I literally had to stop the tears from flowing. Life is so beautiful! I held him in my arms, only 5 days old and it was the most incredible feeling I could describe. A new life…a new hope…a new adventure ahead. Congratulations to Raynie and Alexé on your beautiful baby boy!
