WOLMARANS |johannesburg maternity sessionFebruary 25, 2014

posted in Family Photoshoots, Maternity

One of the best parts of my job is receiving great news from past wedding couples and I was overjoyed to receive word that Maryke & Wim, one my lovely 2013 couples (Maryke & Wim’s Misty River Johannesburg Wedding), are expecting their own little treasure, John Joseph.

We did the maternity session at their home and it was just wonderful to see these two again and the beautiful room they have prepped for their new family member! 🙂
Maryke (and Wim for that matter) were glowing and I know full-heartedly that these two are going to be FANTASTIC parents.
Here are some shots from their session:

PITTAWAYS |botanical gardens family sessionFebruary 7, 2014

posted in Family Photoshoots

There’s nothing I enjoy more on a weekend than a family session – and the Pittaways were just too lovely for words! Mariana, Tulsa & little Keenan are the perfect little family and I’m still impressed with how eagerly Keenan posed for the camera!

The session ended off with a casual picnic at the botanical gardens and Tulsa entertained us with some relaxed guitar playing. It was great fun! Here’s some shots from their session:

VAN ZANTENS |botanical gardens family sessionAugust 13, 2013

I generally don’t post non-wedding related photo sessions, but I’ve decided to make an effort to post more of our other work on the blog 🙂 The Van Zanten’s family session really is the ideal start – this was such a happy photo session full of kisses and cute giggles! I met Taryn back in my marketing days – she was one of the nicest people I came across in those days and it was such a joy when she contacted me for a photo session with her awesome little family consisting of Kevin and Leigh.

Leigh is absolutely adorable and even though she was a bit camera-shy in the beginning she eased into the flow of the session pretty quickly. The session started with Leigh’s colourful balloons slipping out of her hands – it almost broke my heart when she lost her balloons BUT fortunately we had some lollipops to take her mind off it! 😉

RONNIE & TREVOR | botanical gardens e-sessionJanuary 25, 2013

posted in E-shoots

I am so excited about Ronnie & Trevor’s wedding in March 2013! They booked me way in advance and naturally due to all the e-mails and conversations my anticipation for their wedding day has grown tremendously. These two really are a perfect match! They’ve even been tested by a difficult fight with cancer but their relationship has proven to be untouchable. I had so much fun on their engagement session. They just make such a lovely couple – the photo opportunities just come naturally!

Here’s Ronnie’s version of their love story:

LAVERN & RIAAN | rietvlei zoo farm e-sessionOctober 15, 2012

posted in E-shoots

Lavern & Riaan decided on the loveliest little picnic spot for their e-session, Rietvlei Zoo Farm.
We found the perfect spot surrounded by water and ducks for their picnic setup!
We had balloons, glitter, gingerbeer in vintage bottles, proteas, way too sweet cupcakes & some awesome chalkboard bunting that I recently purchased from Mossie Crafts (I definitely recommend this awesome local craft maker) for the setup!
