Decklan's 4th Birthday Party

Late last year my Business Coach SJ's little boy turned 4. I was invited to capture this fun day
at a horse farm where the kids got to ride on horses and had great fun.

Thank you to SJ and Mandi for inviting Norio and I to spend the day with you and Decklan.
He had so much fun and it was such a lovely day :)

Here is the whole family ♥

Amore and her mom Moved to Parys as well so this was a wonderful gift for he girls to share such awesome memories while they aren't able to share High School.

We had a really awesome time as you can see by the cool pictures :D

Matt and Leo - Waterkloof Twin Newborn Photoshoot

I have be privileged to capture some really special moments for Beth and Beatrie ♥ 
I photographed their wedding in 2008 and now to document the growth of their family,
I really feel so blessed. 

Beth is my best Friends sister so we have known each other for many years, My first ever camera
was actually Beth's Pentax K1000. My mom bought it from Beth when I started playing with photography.

When we found out that Beth and Bea were having 2 little boys I was so excited I immediately went and
ordered new hats to make sure I could get gorgeous twin newborn photos with cutie hats.

The boys have already gotten so big compared to how small they were at the shoot.

Thank you Beth and Bea for sharing your princes with me ♥

{Fun} Candice's Family - Johannesburg Child Photographer

Candice is a big fan of Pinterest so when she booked her photoshoot with me for Christmas, she had all these awesome ideas for our shoot.

Her 2 little ones are such sweet hearts and you may remember little
Matthew from his newborn shoot 
Sadly his beautiful mop of hair has fallen out, but he is still such a gorgeous little boy!

We did this shoot before Christmas, so we started with the Gorgeous Tree that Candice's sister set up.
Then we went for a walk in the estate where they stay and found some gorgeous spots where little Chelsey had a great time.

Why are photos important?

Many people feel that photography and especially professional photography is a luxury. And I can understand why people don’t place as high a value on photography as some others. This is a story I wanted to share with you from an overseas photographer who got this letter from one of her clients.

Because you never know when to late is.

July 2nd, 2011

Jeanine -

Today I am writing for a couple of reasons. I have some quiet time at the moment and need to get a couple of things off my mind. I will leave this for my husband to deliver to you when he is ready.
 

You photographed my wedding, you photographed my first pregnancy and my first baby. I contacted you awhile back to photograph my 2nd child and family.

After getting prices and realizing I would want all of the pictures as we love your work – I decided against spending $500+ – which is what I normally spend for portraits and prints with you.. Please know it is not because I don’t value your amazing eye, or how much we love the experience.

That week that I decided to NOT do a session with you, this is how I spent some money.


{Baby Bump} Dominique - Johannesburg Maternity Photographer

 Baby's First Year

Dominique is the wonderful Mommy behind
Preggi Perfect Retreats so when she told
me she was expecting I was super excited :D  She already has a gorgeous little girl Mika
and has now had her second little girl Kyla. Her newborn pics will follow soon.

Dom is incredibly photogenic so I just love doing her pictures! And her family is so beautiful 
that its always such a pleasure to join up with them.

These pictures were done at Sean's mom's house, which is Gorgeous :D And fitted so well. 

And Thank you to Christie for helping me :)

{Baby Bump} Vicky - Pretoria Maternity Photographer

 Vicky is a fellow photographer and designer, I absolutely loved doing her shoot because she was so
prepared, brought a bunch of props that we didn't even get to hehehe but knew exactly what she wanted! 

Little Aiden had a great time as we fussed over his little brother in Mommies tummy and especially
enjoyed his treats later in the shoot.

Thank you Vicky and Bruce for asking me to capture this special time for you,
Watch out for little Callen's newborn pics soon ;)

He is such a little honey and played along beautifully for his photoshoot. His beautiful complexion was such a treat.
He smiled like a little charmer, and I know he will break hearts when he is older.

{Baby Bump} Collette - Johannesburg Maternity Photographer

Shortly after Collette and Richards beautiful wedding they let me know they were expecting another little one :D

Knowing their little Connor I knew this little one was going to be incredibly gorgeous.
They found out they were going to have a little girl and at 32 weeks we did their maternity shoot,
at Bishop Baven school. Only a week later little Kaitlyn made her grand and very unexpected entrance.

So soon you will see her pics when she is 2 months old. But for know lets have a look at the stunning pics of
the Olfsen family.

{Brand New} Allegra - Pretoria Newborn Photographer

Allegra's parents got married in Italy {How Awesome!!} So they decided when they found out they were having a little girl
that they didn't want to go with a traditional English or Afrikaans name... so they decided to look for an Italian name ♥
And they found an incredibly beautiful one.

Allegra was 5 weeks old when we did her shoot, and normally babies that are over 10 days old are a lot
more awake during their shoots. But Allegra is such a calm and relaxed little angel, she played along
so well while her mommy and I chatted and did her photoshoot.

How Gorgeous is she? :D
