Jean-Pierre Turns One!


Happy 1st Birthday Jean-Pierre!!!

I first photographed Jean-Pierre when he was just 4 months old. It was winter and cold. I had all the heaters going full blast to make sure he would be warm and happy. You can go back and see that post HERE.

This time was really special because both sets of grandparents had come along for the photo session.

Jean-Pierre is a serious little man who was not so convinced by this aunty with the big black camera. On that note I'm sure children would be a whole lot less afraid of the camera if it was multi-coloured and bright!
 I just love the above photo of him. It makes me want to hug and kiss him all over!

We then moved outside for some fun in an old suitcase. He started off very serious but Mom performed some amazing antics behind me and got some smiles and little giggles out of him. I actually don't know what Mom was doing behind me but based on the sounds she was making and all the flapping and jumping I could hear I wish I'd had a camera pointed at her too!
It was obvious that Jean-Pierre just loves his Oumas. He so enjoyed being cuddled by them.

After a tea break and a little rest it was time for cuddles and laughs with Mom and Dad.
I baked him his very own blue birthday cake that he was free to smash and play with but he was not so sure about this idea. He stuck his finger in, looked up at his mommy and promptly burst into tears.  With some encouragement from mom he ventured a little further and got so involved in sucking the icing off his finger he totally forgot about the cake!

Happy first birthday Jean-Pierre! I wish you many more happy and fun birthdays to come!

Watch out for little Lilibeth and her first birthday photographs coming up later next week!

Welsh Family Photo Session


Meet the Welsh Family...
The beautiful Annie brought her precious new addition to the family to be photographed with Dad and big sister. Big sister was a little shy to start with but with some cajoling and showing her how my camera worked she soon came out of her shell. 
Poor Teddy...head first in Daddy's pocket!
She had a wonderful time playing in the garden and soon found my prop box full of scarves and makeup.
When asked to sit in my chair and get ready to hold her baby sister she knew exactly what to do and couldn't wait to shower Baby with cuddles and kisses.



 Then it was Mom and Dad's turn to shower Baby with kisses, cuddles and loves.


Thank you so much for letting me photograph your beautiful family.


Swart Family Photo Session


Now this was the most loveable little boy, ever! He was one big ball of laughs from the moment his parents walked into my studio with him until they walked out. I got all the photos his parent asked for in record time and still had time over to take a few of his edible little buns.

This was a special occasion for him as his grandparents were visiting for his christening and he was truly on his best behaviour. It was an absolute pleasure to photograph him and his family.


Positively edible.

de Klerk Family Photo Session


Meet the de Klerk Family...
 We headed on out to my new favourite spot for photographing families, Avis Dam, early last Saturday morning for some fun and photographs. What a great family. They were up for anything that I suggested. Here are some of my favourite photos of the day. (It was so hard to choose only a few.)

Prins Family coming soon...
