I had so much fun with these little ones. It’s quite a story to get photos of 5 kids, with 3 of them being below the age of 3! But I absolutely adore these photos…They were all takes against a white wall in Steffie’s house in Plettenberg Bay. The house is a big open space with lots of windows and it was the perfect canvas to work against.
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!
When I do family shoots or shoots of children I always go to the people’s house. I find it works much better, especially because the kids are much more relaxed in their own environment. For a photographer it’s also much more interesting than a studio, because each house is different and you have to be creative with what you have available.
Tom is a little guy I’ve photographed before and so I’ve had the privilege to photograph him again…I absolutely loved the curly hair!!! He was quite busy and ran around allot and so I gave him a book to read and it was so cute while “reading” it :)
This little one is was so cute! Look at those eyes!
The other day I did a shoot in Arabian Ranches, here in Dubai. It was around 45 degrees…
The past 3 years I’ve been coming to Dubai to visit my parents and so I’ve also been doing a few family and baby shoots. I started out taking photo’s of a friend’s baby and soon the word spread quite wide
I did another baby shoot in London…was great fun. I’ve never seen such a happy child in my life! This little boy just kept on laughing! It was so cute.
I did a shoot for my friend Cathy here in London. Her little girl is so sweet! Here name Sarah Grace explains her so well…she’s as sweet as an angel.
This morning I drove through to Wellington to do a photo shoot of Matise a cute little baby boy..
