Cocklin Family Photo Session

I really enjoy the Cocklin Family. I get to see little Isla every four months for her Watch Me Grow series and now I got to meet the whole family all the way from the grandparents down to the newest member of the family who was only a few weeks old at the time.

We had to work in relays because my little studio was seriously overcrowded with everyone squeezed into it but we had fun and got some really cutie pie photographs.



As a professional photographer sometimes one tends to think that all our photographs are perfect but the truth is they are not. Sometimes it is not really our 'fault' and other times we do take terrible photographs. This one is one my favourite imperfect photographs. I smile every single time I see it.
The three moms look lovely, all smiles and composed but look closely at the girls. The little newborn was howling, the three year old had found one of my daughters very noisy toys and was no longer interested in photographs and the almost one year old was more interested in what her cousin was up to.
All in all a perfectly imperfect photograph worth keeping!

Thank you for entrusting me Cocklin Family to capture your family.

Have a great week!

Nellyane | 9 day old newborn photo session


Welcome precious Nellyane.


What a beautiful family and not just on the outside. They are kind and loving and just altogether nice people. It was a pleasure and an honour to photograph their little 9 day old baby girl with the rest of the family. Here are some of my favourite photographs.

My absolute favourite!
This little poppet was so flexible that her little toes were up on her chin at one point. I made sure she still had blood flow to her feet and she happily slept all curled up for ages.
A cuddle with big brother.
Such a beautiful mom with an amazing heart.
Now this is an outstanding young man; so polite, well behaved and good fun!

Thank you for the honour and I'm definitely looking forward to little Nellyane's first birthday!

Have a great 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!
