The weather forecast for Monday was rain, but we decided to go ahead with the photo shoot as it’s not often that this family gets together so time was precious and we had loads of fun while taking their Family Portraits before the rain… As I was finishing off, taking a few shots in the garden the rain came down. This amazing mom creates the most beautiful floral arrangements and she’d asked me to take a few photos of her orchids. This shoot was so easy – they were all so good looking and so chilled! It was great getting to know them and I can’t wait for our coffee date

Family Portraits before the rain…
August 26, 2010My Camera loved these three little girls
August 23, 2010My Camera loved these three little girls during their family photo shoot at Highbury Preparatory School over the week end:) What a glorious winter’s day God blessed us with in Hillcrest, Durban. I couldn’t believe how big J & T are… I hate the way time flies, when we don’t make the time to catch up with old friends and family. It was great spending the afternoon with this little family – can’t wait for you to see the beautiful family portraits I have of you all!
What a cutie pie
August 8, 2010What a cutie pie this little 9 month old baby girl was, considering she was starting a temperature… She was so happy and I could see how much joy she brings to her mom & dad. They love her so much – her mom just wants to ‘eat’ the little chubby rolls on her thighs and arms! I got some gorgeous photos of all her body parts while she lay passed out & fast asleep on the blanket for a quick power nap. After that she was up & about with loads of hugs and kisses for everyone. I always wish I had these types of family and baby portraits of my own family in photo albums and frames on the wall… 
A Beautiful afternoon
July 20, 2010This little girl’s mommy contacted me during the previous week wanting to book a shoot so she could record her precious little girl before she started getting too mobile… Now I had forgotten how “mobile” babies actually are even though they aren’t officially crawling, add to the mix a couple of farm dogs and you have loads of movement with plenty of personality. When I say personality this little one really made me work! She hardly ever looked directly at me so I was constantly clicking away. I think all our hard work paid off as I got some amazing portraits of her. I also captured a few family portraits. The location was stunning – sugar cane, rolling hills, golden winter sun setting, an avenue of trees and a welcoming family home. I spent a beautiful afternoon inland from Ballito, Durban.
I’m so excited
July 18, 2010I’m so excited to have clients like this couple! We had so much fun during their engagement shoot yesterday afternoon at the Durban Fun Fare, here are two of my favourite images:) I have had such a busy week end – family shoot on Friday afternoon, then Crawford North Coast Matric Dance at Sibiya Friday evening, another Family shoot Saturday morning and this is how I ended off my Saturday: an engagement shoot with red balloons, which Gitta kindly suggested I take home with me for Rebecca. Thanks Gitta, she had an absolute ball – running around the house bouncing a balloon off her hand onto her head. Her hair was so static!
To all my other fantastic clients I will blog your sessions soon.
How cute are these baby cheeks
July 11, 2010How cute are these baby cheeks? I just love these baby portraits. This little tot was just so friendly and as her dad said, such a flirt! She really was a bag full of laughs but she did not really want to smile the two toofy smile and show off her two front teeth. So needless to say, her mom got loads of exercise yesterday morning while doing star jumps behind me to make her laugh. There is one pic showing off the two teeth.
What a beautiful day it was at the Durban Botanical Gardens. It was so peaceful. We went exploring and found some awesome spots for photos. This shoot was actually a “thank you gift” for this couple – I love it when people contact me wanting to give a voucher as a gift. How awesome, to receive a gift voucher for a photo shoot.
