Husselmann Family Outdoor Photo Session

This lovely family chose Avis Dam for their family photography session. I'm enjoying Avis at the moment. The grass is so long and dry with flashes of green from the rain last month. Late in the afternoons the sun shines low through the trees and bathes everything in warm light.

It was really a lovely session where I got to work with a beautiful teenager, a sincere primary school boy and a bubbly little pre-schooler. It was fun coming up with poses that would keep all three of them entertained. This one is my favourite.

I just love it when I capture a moment of pure happiness. It may not be the post beautifully posed or artistic photograph but it is the one that always gets a reaction because it speaks to us emotionally. It makes me love my job even more.

I never thought when I bought this trunk 15 years ago for R20 that I would become a photographer and get to use it to take such cute photographs.

Serene beauty...

After a little while the little one was getting a bit bored with this whole photo story so I got her to do some running for me. And then Mr Sincere asked to run too and he really came alive. He is not into posing so much so I'm really glad I got this natural, fun photograph of him.

 I get such fun reactions when I ask for this pose. The littlies normally think it is yuk, gross, no mom. The teenagers always smile and the parents often get shy!

 Mom and her little girl.

 And with her big guy.

Chantell I think you are really beautiful and I hope that photograph makes you feel special.

It is really special for me to see parents so openly show their love and adoration for each other. It is such a great example for their children.

Thank you Chantell and Nolan for choosing me to be your photographer. It is a pleasure and an honour.

I hope you all have a great week!

Dominique - Matric Dance Photo Session

Now this was an awesome session. Here comes a truly Type 1 matriculant with an equally Type 1 mom and dad!!! And I'm a Type 1 so how much fun did we have?!?

(If you have no idea what I am talking about check out this link: DYT. Find out what type you are for free and then learn how to live it, dress and love yourself! You'll be happier, I promise.)

The week before the dance Dominique's mom brought in the dress and accessories to have a photograph of them on their own.

This wonderful family was late, but who isn't on their matric dance afternoon of preparations and dramas. So we had to hustle.

They drove up in a gorgeous old timer, whipped out a picnic table, with tablecloth (!) and offered everyone a drink! They were here for some serious fun.

Dominique was a bit nervous because she felt her makeup was too dark and her hair was a bird's nest. So the very first thing I did was take a close up her and show her that she looked so beautiful. She immediately relaxed and was a great model.

I loved the choice of location. It made a lovely contrast with the super cute tutu dress that Dominique chose to wear. I also brought along some vintage props that really added to the look.

I love this bird's nest...seeing how elegant it looked I regret cutting my own hair so short.

 

You can't help but love this family.

Thank you all for choosing me to photograph your family. I had a huge amount of fun and am so pleased that you love your photographs.

Have a blessed week!

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...
