Family Photo Shoot
This past weekend I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with the Pratley/O Sullivan family. Nicola an old friend of mine wanted family photos with the entire family with the new addition little Conor. It was temperamental weather ranging from being overcast and drizzly to very hot sunny and humid, but even with the changing light I think we got some awesome photos on the Pratley property which has stunning gardens including a real train!. Conor gets this cute grin when his dad calls him a little creature *so...

Hannah Jayne and Levi David are two little twins that were so excited to meet their family they arrived a little earlier than expected. Their very wise doctors didn’t like that much and told them they needed to stay nice and warm in a little incubator till they grow big and strong enough to go home. Now after 2 months of growing strong and getting healthy both twins are finally home. Jenna their mommy wanted to record the occasion and asked me to take some family photos that they could share with everyone. Jenna and Grant have been friends of mine for years and I’m just so happy that...

We still have allot of family in Namibia and for my grandmothers 80th birthday we decide to celebrate on the farm which the family used to own, the new owners run a hunting and guest farm now as well as still working with cattle.

I never imagined it could be so beautiful and isolated its literally 3...

Candys hen party was one of the most fun i’ve been to in a long time, beside the fact we are now “new cousins” it was just awesome. Her family and friends went through so much effort to give her a vintage tea party of note, we all stepped in to help to give her a day she really deserved to be pampered and spoilt. Firstly the food… “i just drooled a little”. My boy cousin is a very talented chef and until recently was running a Arline catering company that supplied flights food for some very famous and very dare i say “rich” people. He did the...

At the begging of the year I was approached by a friend of Claire and Jamie to make a voucher for a family / engagement shoot, as an engagement gift. Jo-Anne specifically wanted Claire and Jamie to get photos just of the two of them, because they had so few photos of them together, they have tons of the little ones Jayden and Kyla, (I can understand though with Kids as cute as there’s.) but none of them so it was my brief to get a bit of the family and then of the couple. We decided to wait till summer and this last Sunday, we met up at Golden Harvest Park near Northgate shopping center....

This last weekend was a busy one. The highlight being my nefews first birthday. Kids birthday partys are always so much fun. especially for the kids i think the adults just welcome the “break” to hang out with adults and that the kids are busy having a “jol” (that means party to anyone non south african). Well i have said it before photos of kids are difficult i like moody photos, but you cant really give photos of chidren mood well at least i think so, you can in a way lean towards bright fresh photos, but i couldent help turing back to my usual black and white. I...
