Adri Edeling - Maternity Shoot








Well, after 'missing' each other a number of times, I finally got to photograph Adri this last Tuesday morning at the Irene Dairy!


We kept on having to reschedule the shoot for unforeseen reasons, until we reached the very last possible opportunity - all I can say is thank goodness baby didn't arrive before the shoot!
Thank you Adri for returning to me to photograph this time in your life - I consider it a great compliment.

Hello little blog...








It's been so long - my little blog! I am very sorry for neglecting you for all this time!


My only excuse is being pregnant with my second baby (while my first is still actually a baby) and working very very hard at the end of last year.


I did so many photo shoots that I just actually didn't have the time to update the blog and then being behind on 3 photo shoots turned into six and then 12 (and then it became obvious that getting the blog back up to date would be a mission!).

But now my little one has arrived (and life is busier than ever!) - LOL!

So!


I'm starting anew today. And I'm pleased to say that my very first post of this year is of a great friend of mine - Megan. She is pregnant with a little girl - Khloe Rose and we are all so excited to have a stroke of pink in our lives now (all our little ones are boys so far)!


Megs, I hope you enjoyed the shoot!

Erasmus Newborn Shoot




What a beautiful little baby and a wonderful family! I enjoyed this photo shoot and thought that the little girl was so beautiful, her dark hair so striking!
I hope that I will see more of this family in future, with a family shoot at the Dairy someday!

Melissa, Kurt & Reese - Family Shoot




I was contacted by Melissa's mom to do a photo shoot as a gift for her daughter. And that is how I came to photograph Melissa, Kurt and their adorable daughter Reese!

I must say, Reese was as the 'perfect' age for photography - she was sitting, but couldn't walk, so I was able to put her in a spot and click away! This phase doesn't last long, as we all know that when the kiddos start to walk, it's pretty much a game of chase!

I had a blast and I think that Melissa and Kurt's love for their little girl is written all over their faces!

Willis Family Shoot



The Willis Family were a joy to photograph - their children were darlings and they made such an effort to 'get the shots' as we cruised around the Irene Dairy.

I think their little girl was just gorgeous in her pink dress and their little boy was shy and reserved, quite a serious little person!

I hope they enjoyed the shoot as much as I did!

Theresa, Rob & Reece - Maternity Shoot



This is the first time I've done a Maternity Shoot for "Baba #2". Most moms just do their first maternity shoot and don't bother with another one.

Well! We combined a maternity and family shoot in one. It was so much fun to have the 'maternity' element in a family shoot and the lightness of the 'little person' in a maternity shoot.

I would recommend this to anyone who's expecting their second or third (or fourth... or whatever...) - I think that adding the element of siblings is just so gorgeous!

Although my first time photographing a maternity/family shoot - not my first time with Theresa and Rob infront of the camera! You will remember seeing them with Reece's own maternity shoot here and then Reece's newborn shoot here.

I love my job - especially when I get to see families grow and change!

Carrie & Michael van der Laan - Wedding






Yes, it's wedding season obviously!

Carrie and Michael, also very old friends from my school days, asked me to photograph their wedding. Again, I was just too happy, and what a wedding it was!

The venue was amazing, the couple was beautiful, the guests were tons of fun and the entire day was just perfect!

It was an honour to photograph this wedding!

Coreen & Grant Young - Wedding







Well - what can I say about this?

Grant and Coreen are friends of mine, and when they were searching for a photographer for their wedding, they just couldn't seem to find what they were looking for. Eventually they asked me, which they didn't want to do because I was also an invited guest.

I was part of the engagement (literally Grant surprised Coreen with a ring during a 'couple' shoot! - see it here).

So I was just too happy to help out with their wedding!
As a couple, they are just perfect for each other - in every. single. way.

I look forward to photographing pregnant bellies, babies and a growing family in the years to come.

Le Roux Family Shoot




It was such a pleasure to photograph the le Roux family - what a fantastic son and daughter!

There is no easy way to say this... but for those of us who have toddlers, it is obvious that photographing them is quite a challenge - they really have little minds of their own and as a photographer you cannot expect them 'put on' a smile... So, my photo shoots with little ones are usually quite interesting... ;)
What a difference to photograph older children - they are a bit more reserved and 'aware' of the camera, but once we relax abit things flow smoothly... It was a nice change from the usual, this brother and sister!

Shannon & Wayne - Couple Shoot




Every now and again I get to photograph a couple... not for a wedding, or engagement, or as an addition to a family shoot, but just. for. fun.

Shannon treated Wayne to a birthday present - a full photo shoot. It was fun, we had a great time and the I think the pictures came out just great!

I hope one day I will photograph their engagement shoot or wedding - who knows?
