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!

Toddler Photo Session | Neelsie - 13 months old!


I think Neelsie might be my new favourite little boy to photograph...but I have a picture of Wien next to me and it's just so hard to decide. I think they'll both have to be my favourite! Neelsie is just 13 months old and he is positively edible. He's happy, easy to please and found my daughter's hairband that I tied around my camera most fascinating. He looked straight into the camera almost every single time.

I just love this set up with the toys and the blue bunting. Little boys thoroughly enjoy it and it really helps them warm to me and my big black camera.
With Oupa and Ouma. He just adores them. Just like Wien got fixated on my lens cap and it was the theme for his session, little Neelsie fell in love with this blue ball. It was his companion until he discovered...
 ...my little riempie chair just the right size for a one year old. He was not going to get off that chair for anything!
 Blowing bubbles and bubbles and more bubbles!!
Can't you just eat that face up? And look at those blue eyes. I normally brighten eyes up a little to make them pop but this little man's eyes are so amazing that I didn't need to do anything!
This is his own personal Oliver the Owl hat his mom ordered for him to wear for the session and take home. He looks so cute.
 With Mama en Papa.
Aren't baby feet so squishy and soft and you just can't help but touch them and kiss them?
 Oh my goodness what are they doing to me? Will somebody please rescue me?
I thoroughly enjoyed this session. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of photographing your lovely family. 
Stay posted for three newborns and the return of the Heyman Twins for the next session in their Watch Me Grow series. You can sign up below to get automatic updates.

Handmade Beanies Galore!


I love handmade things. Of course being a baby and family photographer I get to really enjoy handmade beanies and props. Every time I see something that grabs my interest all I can think about is how I can use it as a prop in a photo session.
As there are no local suppliers of handmade beanies I learnt to crochet them for myself. Now I am a crochet junkie. I just love it. I spend ages browsing through patterns to find ones I just have to make. I have gathered so much yarn that I'm not buying anymore until it is all finished!

So many of my clients have asked where I get my beanies and tell me that they cannot find anywhere local to buy them. So... I have partnered with a good friend of mine, Kay-leigh, and we have started a little business making and selling handmade crocheted items.
Introducing...
We have literally dozens of designs between the two of us and are furiously crocheting beanies, character beanies, head bands, ear warmers, flowers, jewellery and even giant doily rugs. Some of the patterns are designs by Alli Hyer, some are our own and some are patterns we have stumbled across.
This rug is 145cm in diametre and is made from 100% cotton. It is available for order! Custom sizes are also available and are made to order.
Here is our catalogue so far. Unfortunately we don't have photos of all the designs available as they were sold before we could photograph them! We'll post photos as soon as we can.
Not all beanies come standard with flowers. The flowers are on buttons and can be removed or changed if you like. You can purchase several flowers for one beanie. Please note the comments under each beanie as to whether the flower is included or not.
