Happy 2nd Birthday Wian!

Now this little man is precious!!!! Wow. I first met him when he was 10 months old. He was busy! Then he came for his first birthday photo session and just a few weeks ago I saw him again for his second birthday shoot.

He started off a little shy but very soon warmed up to me and my box of fun toys.
Before he took a single thing out of my box he asked his dad permission first. I was amazed. This little guy is just two and already in his simple little way asked permission.
I got this little chair made and kids cannot help themselves. They just have to sit on it.  
 And Papa is his hero. Mom is necessary but Papa is the man!
 When you are a boy absolutely anything can be a car... 
 Brrrm...brrrm...
Smart mom brought his black bike along. I think every South African and Namibian child over the last 50 years has owned one or several black bikes. I know my brother wore the wheels out on two! 
But this black bike is extra special...it has an aerial!!! Look carefully and you will see the extra long cable tie that Papa put on the bike as an aerial at the request of his son.
Boys and trees! :) 




I could just eat him up. Look at how earnest he is.
And then I found a dandelion. I've always wanted to take a photograph like this but never had a dandelion on hand.
Mom's preggy belly makes a great pillow!
Thank you for always coming back to me to photograph your special moments. I'm really looking forward to meeting your new little one too. 

I wish you all a great weekend!

Happy Birthday Camila! | Birthday Party Photo Shoot

Happy Birthday Camila!!

This sweet, gentle child celebrated her 5th birthday with family and friends. Her mom has commissioned me to design a book documenting the first five year of her life. Part of the book will be photographs from her birthday party along with loads of photographs taken throughout her life.

Welcome to Camila's Wonderland Tea Party!
The beautiful birthday girl.
And her cutie pie sister.
Every child I know looooves bubbles.
 And the cake very proudly made by mum.

Happy birthday! I wish you many more happy years.

Have a great week!

Birthday Party Dress Up Fun Photo Session

What could be more fun than a dress up and photograph party for a deserving 9 year old girl? Pascale's mom had this great idea to use me as the entertainment for her daughter's birthday party. I was really touched. So I got together some dress up items like fancy hats and scarves and the girls also contributed some fun glasses, wigs and dresses. I also have a box of makeup…oooooh… I then set up a fun backdrop in the garden and let the fun begin.


The lovely birthday girl
Definitely a very cute Type 1, Bright and Animated young girl.

And then there were boys!!

 The girls then had an outfit change and came back out of some more photographs.
Drinks break before the makeup came out.


After all the dressing up, changing, preening and titivating it was time for a swim.

Thank you, Conny, for thinking of such a great idea and for choosing me to be the photographer. I had huge amounts of fun and I honestly cannot wait for another mom to come up with a party idea.

Have a blessed week!

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!
