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...]
Whenever I'm getting ready to shoot a beach wedding, WindGuru is consulted on a daily basis in the lead up to the big day. This was no exception and the forecast was sunshine, but with unseasonal wind. Steph and Malena had already been married in Argentina so this day was a blessing celebration with local family and friends. There were some delays as family coming from … [Read more...]
After Sadie's shoot, Megan contacted me to bring her little girl into the studio. Thorin and Megan arrived with little 5 week old Freya, who was fast asleep. But not for long..... Once the lights started popping and she got a look at the photographers mug, she expressed her disgust in no certain terms. She certainly has a healthy set of lungs!! It didn't take too long for her … [Read more...]
After doing a baby bump shoot with Kyle & Greer a few weeks ago, I was stoked to be able to photograph their gorgeous daughter. Now Sadie was not about to make anybody's life easy during her first official photo shoot. I think she had already seen all the outfits that mom wanted her to wear and she was not keen to play along. But with a little patience and coaxing, we … [Read more...]
Another full day of Groupon shoots on Saturday started with Brad Jacklin and his gorgeous family. Punctual (which I always appreciate) and a lot of fun in the studio, so it was a real pleasure shooting this family. I hope that you guys enjoyed it as much as I did and that you are thrilled with the results. Thanks Brad, Nicky and Ella. … [Read more...]
Another Saturday, another Groupon shoot. Neren, Ashara and their daughter Sajol came into the studio a little apprehensive at first, but settled into the shoot quickly. Sajol was quite the little model and loved the camera. Thanks guys for a fun shoot and trust that you will enjoy your pictures. … [Read more...]
People are starting to book their Groupon Shoots as they realise the expiry date is looming. Saturday was particularly hectic with five back to back shoots in studio and two families popping in to pick their disks up from earlier shoots. A rather daunting day for me as the photographer - a fairly stark studio and a wide range of families to keep entertained and looking good. … [Read more...]
So the Groupon Deal ran for a couple of days in June and we sold close to 100 shoots; quite impressive!! Yesterday we had Nondumiso and her 18-month old daughter, Ngothando, in studio for their shoot. It was a non-stop event for an hour straight as Ngothando ruled the roost, keeping mom and photog on their toes. Keeping her in the general area of the backdrop was a real … [Read more...]
A little while ago I saw this child at the beach who had that X-factor look. Then I bumped into mom and dad at a wedding I was shooting and they were keen to do a little portfolio for her. So we set it up and little Piara came into the studio this morning, a little shy at first but she soon warmed up to the camera and the flash of the studio lights. What a stunning child; … [Read more...]
Wow!! She is not quite 3 years old yet, but such a darling in front of the camera. Brandon and Barbara brought Hannah into the studio on Friday and I was a bit concerned about a two year old's attention span. But I needn't have worried - Hannah was an absolute star! Guys you can be incredibly proud of your daughter and the results she got from Friday's shoot. I had a lot of fun … [Read more...]
I was eagerly awaiting this wedding as I had not photographed at Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse before and I have heard what a beautiful … View >>
