An early Mother's Day Photo Shoot was held in my Studio last Saturday. Actually, it was only a day early for Bianca who was visiting from the UK (they celebrated Mother's Day on the Sunday). This visit was a first time meeting for the cousins, Logan, Tyler and 4 month old Libby, but the family bond was evident, and the boys were confident, gentle and loving towards their new baby cousin. It was lovely to meet and photograph you all, and I hope to hear from you on the next visit!

Towards the end of last year I donated a Studio Photography Shoot to the Kirstenhof Primary School Golf Day. My shoot was auctioned off to raise money for the school and David, the winning bidder, brought his 2 boys and lovely wife, Jeanine, to my home-based studio for their shoot in mid-February.

I think its evident from the pics that these 2 boys are quite the characters, and mom and dad... aah, SO in love! As usual, loads of fun and wonderful people... Did I mention I love my job? 

A fabulous couple, two gorgeous daughters and their rather energetic Jack Russells joined me in my Studio for some family photographs. After our session we sat around my computer and chose over 80 of the shots to have on their disc, plus their favourites images for A2 size canvasses, and a couple for A3 canvasses. There was lots of discussion over which ones they'd want prints of, so I uploaded them to an Online Gallery for them to choose in their own time. Here's a small sample of their shoot. Thanks guys, can't wait to see you all in large print format!

This wonderful family organised a photo shoot as a present for their mom's special Birthday way back in August last year. While we were waiting for the convenient date and venue I photographed the latest addition to the family (see Juliette Newborn entry) which was such a treat. It was lovely to finally meet the extended family and we had a great time with our group shots ; a photo shoot definitely worth the wait! 

Out of the blue - a very old friend (from way back "standard 2" that's Grade 4 for the modern reader) contacted me to see if I could fit him and his 3 boys in for a Studio Session. He was visiting his parents in Cape Town and wanted some pics to take to his wife back home in Mosselbay. Absolutely brilliant to see him again, and meet his 3 gorgeous boys. We had loads of fun - my lights managed to stay in tact - and we got some great shots for Mother's Day! 

Christmas is just around the corner (like you need reminding) so how about a Photo Shoot of the family PLUS a personally designed Christmas E-Card to send to family and friends? 

You choose the images you want to use and I design your E-Card with a personalised message. For R1,000 you get a Studio or Location photo shoot, between 30 - 50 retouched images on a disc (large and small files) PLUS your Christmas E-Card. 

You may have lots of your own favourite images sitting on your computer, so as an alternative to the full family shoot, I can apply a bit of retouching magic to your images and design your E-Card for you. 

Contact me for more information or to book your pre-Christmas family photo shoot.

An ideal setting and perfect weather led to a brilliant family photography session at Long Beach on the weekend. Equipped with buckets, spades and a favourite little white boat, this family chatted, played and cuddled while I hung back with a long lense and captured their natural movements and expressions. The aim of the photo shoot was a gift for Granny's birthday. A very special gift from a very special family...

I am in love. How gorgeous is little Rio? Her wonderful parents had a hard time tearing her away from my lense - and my clutches! This was a very happy and playful little family studio photography shoot. Rio was so amazingly well behaved and loves the camera. Her mom and dad weren't half bad either and we got some great shots for Dad to treasure while he's away skippering a yacht in Europe. I hope to see you all again, it was lovely to meet and photograph you all. Thank you!
