It is always a pleasure catching up with the Dowden family after all the weddings we have shared together. Brad was heading back to the UK and at the last minute they all decided to have some portraits done on the day they were leaving. Unfortunately Miller took ill the night before so it was a struggle for him, it's hard enough smiling in front of a camera on a normal day … [Read more...]
I was excited to meet Paul and Anna's new addition to the family, Andrew and to also photograph Regan and Katelyn again. Andrew was very content and loving life until he got made to pose in front of the camera which is quite understandable for someone new to the world. Luckily his brother Regan has a calming effect on him so we had to get him to stand nearby and keep him … [Read more...]
I always work with Billie when I do the school photos at The Roseway Waldorf School so it was a treat to photograph her and her family for a change. The Kloof Gorge is a pretty venue for a shoot and although the river was a bit full from all the recent rain Troy and Billie were brave enough to wade through the water and pose for some cool family pics. We all managed to get … [Read more...]
Although we dodged the rain on Saturday everything was soaked from the rain the night before which made it tricky when trying to stay dry but still use the beautiful garden surroundings. Makaranga is a beautiful setting and is always in immaculate condition providing ideal backdrops for any kind of photoshoot. It was a pleasure to photograph Warren, Vernita and the rest of … [Read more...]
Since Debbie was out from Singapore for a month, she wanted to get the family together for a photoshoot so that she could take some stunning pictures back with her. So we all got together at Botanic Gardens on Sunday for an afternoon of tree climbing and wandering around the beautiful gardens. It's always a challenge with a big crowd, but this crew which included parents, … [Read more...]
This shoot took quite a bit of juggling as Tim and Joanne were either busy or I was not available so it was a relief when it finally happened. The initial idea was to get a few snaps at home and then go down to the beach for a few more but we ended up getting enough at home. Lexi and the camera weren't really friends on that day so Joanne and Tim had to work really hard … [Read more...]
Phillipa's mom Gail is our neighbour and I photographed Matthew and Philippa's wedding a couple of years ago so it was a case of almost hopping over the fence to go photograph their twins, Connor and Hope who had just had their first birthday. Unfortunately they were all headed back to the UK the next day so we had no choice but to do the photographs on the one and only day … [Read more...]
I photographed Wayne and Lee-Anne's wedding in 2010 so it was quite exciting to get a call from them asking me to photograph the new edition to the family, Seth. Wayne is a big Superman fan so it was funny when Seth kept changing outfits but the shirts all had the Superman logo on them, go Wayne. I managed to capture quite a few of Seth's expressions along of course with … [Read more...]
I know Kirsten from the Roseway Waldorf School so it was a pleasure to meet the rest of the Groetsch Family. Mat loves his outdoor running so there was no hesitation choosing an adventurous setting and we decided on the Kloof Gorge. It is a spectacular setting which proved quite challenging for the little kids and we had to work around them. We all managed to get wet and … [Read more...]
I photographed Nicole's children when they were still small so it was quite a surprise to see them all grown up now(luckily I have not grown older). I photographed them in and around their home which actually turned out to be a whole lot of fun trying to find places that were suitable without distracting backgrounds. It was a scorching day so when we stepped outside we all … [Read more...]
As is the norm, I was watching the weather forecast ahead of Matt and Kelly's wedding over the weekend and it didn't look too good, … View >>
