Beautiful Hannah | 7 month baby photo session

Hannah and her lovely parents came to see me a few weeks ago because her mom just felt she was so adorable right now that she needed to capture her absolute cuteness. I couldn't agree more.

I have a little secret to getting this big smiley face from babies. They still not understand that you are still there when they cannot see you…so I face them away from me and their parents and then have their parents crouch down behind me and call them. They swivel around to find the voice and break into huge smiles when they see mommy and daddy are still there. It works every time.

Pearls are always a great entertainer and give some priceless photographs.

Oh yuk, that did not taste or feel good…

Cute, cute, cute

Hannah's mom was inspired by another photograph I took last year that was just like this one. 

Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your beautiful family. It was an honour.

Have a great weekend!

Fun in the Rain | Family Photo Session

What an absolute blast it was to photograph this super fun family in the pouring ran. This photo session was a surprise birthday present for the mom so it had to happen on the set date and at the set time. I chatted with them in the morning and it was agreed we would go ahead with umbrellas and see how it turned out.

 It was raining lightly and I had my camera inside a black refuse bag with a hole cut for the lens. But then the heavens opened...

The beautiful lady the family was celebrating.

I had the most amazing time. I was soaked to the skin but my camera was dry and I captured some of my most favourite photographs. Thank you so much, Pienaar Family, for being so much fun and up for playing in the rain!

Soaked but happy!

Have a great week!

Fun Things to do this Weekend {for FREE!}

"Mom…I'm bored!" 
How many times do we as parents hear that? So I put together a few fun things to do with your kids this weekend and best of all they are pretty much free!

1.  Swing as high as you can and see-saw your heart out.
Windhoek actually has some pretty cool play parks. They may not have green grass but the equipment is, for the most part, in good condition and well oiled. We paid a visit to the park in Pionierspark Ext 1 and I had as much fun as my kids did. The swings are wide enough for mom and dad sized posteriors, the see-saws are high and the merry-go-rounds awesome.

2.  Make a Fire
This one is perfect for boys. Dads teach your boys how to safely make a fire and then toast some marshmallows and boerewors on a stick. Boys love fires and throwing things into them to watch how they burn. There is something mezerising about a fire.

3.  Beauty Make-over {by your daughter}
Clear out your make-up box of all the old and grundgey make-up you never use and put it into a little bag for your daughter. Then let her have her way with you and give you a make-over you will never forget. You can even let her do your hair.
There is just something so special about sitting on the floor and letting your little girl do your make-up. The concentration on her face and the pleasure she gets from it is worth the smeared lipstick and frightening eye shadow.

I wish you all a wonderful, fun-filled weekend!

Thank you Adelaar family for trusting me to photograph your super fun family.
