Kruger en Murray Families

Ek het vir Lani ontmoet in 'n ma en baba speelgroepie toe ons oudste kindertjies skaars 'n jaar oud was, en nou is hulle al amper vyf! Mens besef opnuut hoe vinnig tyd verby vlieg as jy sien hoe gou die pragtige kindertjies grootword. Dit was so lekker om vir Lani en haar gesin af te neem en 'n ekstra bonus om haar suster se gesin en ma en pa ook te ontmoet! Dit was 'n heerlike familie saamtrek en so mooi om die goeie verhoudings tussen hulle almal en veral tussen en die neefs en niggies te sien, selfs al bly hulle ver uit mekaar. Dit was so spesiaal om dit te kon vasvang en ek sĂȘ nogmaals dankie vir die geleentheid. Hoop julle geniet die foto's!

Amy Walsh

You would never say that little Amy is a firstborn when looking at her parents. They are completely relaxed and at ease with her, taking everything in their stride as if they've been doing this for years. No wonder she is so calm and docile! During the shoot however, she wanted to know nothing about being put down for her nap. It was way too comfortable in mom or dad's arms. But the way they look at her with utter wonder and love in their eyes made for even better newborn pictures than those of her sleeping on her own. Amy, you are one adorable and blessed little girl!

De Lange Familie

Ek en Elrike was saam op skool en dit was so lekker om haar weer te sien en haar familie te ontmoet. Ons het die foto's geneem op haar ouers se pragtige plaas in Jonkershoek. Dit was koud en nat en die weer was onheilspellend, maar klein Rudolf se glimlaggie en sonnige geaardheid kan enige dag ophelder! Hy is so pragtig en vriendelik en dierbaar mens kan net nie genoeg van hom kry nie. Dit was moeilik om foto's te kies vir die blog, want sy vrolike gesiggie het van elke sessie 'n storie gemaak. Eers het 'n ou mobile van sy ma hom vermaak en daarna het hy baie lekker met 'n peer gespeel. Ons kon vir 'n kort rukkie buite foto's neem toe die sonnetjie uitkom en toe het die growwe bas van 'n boom en jasmyn blommetjies gesorg vir groot opwinding. Terug in die huis terwyl ons [...]

De Villiers Maternity

I met this loving couple on a glorious balmy winter afternoon (one of only few we've seem to have had lately)! They are super excited about the arrival of their miracle baby and she is going to be so blessed to have these two wonderful people as parents. This session was at the same time so much fun and very special, complete with a beautiful sunset as a perfect ending. Thanks Sara and Jean, I can't wait to meet your little girl!

Amalia Uys

If you don't know who she is yet, I believe you will soon. Amalia is, in my humble opinion, one of South Africa's most talented young actresses. Her maturity, depth, empathy and intelligence makes her a great dramatic actress, but she is also blessed with a fantastic sense of humour and perfect comic timing. She played San-Mari van Graan in 7de Laan for almost 7 years, but has returned her attention this past year to her love for theatre. Recently she has also made her debut in an Afikaans movie, starred in various music videos, did some presenting, is the face of Francois Jewellers, and the list goes on and on. The future looks bright for this gorgeous, talented young lady! But above all of this, she is my cousin and I love her to bits. In my heart of hearts she is the sister I never had. We've been [...]

Argyropoulus Family

I had the wonderful privilege of photographing these two gorgeous Greek sisters again, this time together with their dad. It was a cold and windy winters afternoon but luckily the rain gave us just a long enough break to do our shoot. These three however, were not bothered by the weather at all! They had lots to talk about, were constantly joking with each other and in general just having so much fun together that I got the most fantastic opportunity to capture each of their personalities and the relationships between them with my camera. Enjoy!

Caren and Catherine

Caren needed some portrait shots for her CV, but decided to have some precious mother and daughter photos taken as well while she had me there. Little Catherine is too adorable for words with a great sense of humour. It is clear that these two have a very special bond and I'm sure they will treasure these special memories for time to come! Thanks so much for letting me capture these for you, I loved every minute of it! And here's a few of this beautiful mommy on her own :-)

Loubser Family

Sometimes when I meet someone, I'm just once again reminded how small the world can be. When Johnny and I started talking, we soon discovered that we studied at Stellenbosch University at more or less the same time, but never met there. He then went to London being good friends with some of my best friends from University who also lived and worked there at the time. My parents-in-law babysat my kids while I was busy with the shoot, and when I got home and told them about it, they started laughing, telling me that they lived in the same neighbourhood as Johnny's parents while he was growing up, went to the same church and knew them quite well! Johnny and his British wife, Amy, is now back in South Africa and the proud parents of baby Kate. She is just adorable and was so calm and sweet during the [...]
