Jason, Tiffany & Haoyu plus 1 | Cape Town Maternity Photographer

The gorgeous, Tiffany and Jason, are expecting baby number two! We met at an open park area near the Tygerberg nature reserve known as the Frikkie Knoetze Arboretum. It was a glorious afternoon and made for beautiful photographs. Of course, with a gorgeous women like Tiffany, who would have doubted! She was quite shy in front of the camera, but that shyness seemed to transcend into utter beauty in the photographs. We then met up at their house to take some family pictures with their Son, Haoyu. Oh, such a cutie. He doesn’t speak English and was VERY shy! So I whipped out my friendly smiley face and suggested some cute things for him to do, and he was a champion (as you can see!). I wish Jason and Tiffany many happy years with their gorgeous Sons! And I hope to meet again! xxx

Lloyd, Frances and Baby X | Cape Town Maternity Photographer

Lloyd and Frances are expecting Baby X! Yes, one of the few couples (these days) who are ‘waiting’ to finding out the sex! Shoh, I take my hat off. I couldn’t do it. I needed to know. The perfectionist I am, I needed to prepare – physically and mentally. Well, at 39 weeks, Frances is going strong! She is looking radiant and has a wonderful contentment about her. Her whole being is happily inviting labour and birth, and both herself and Lloyd are calming waiting to meet their precious child. It is wonderful to see. I know Baby will be warmly welcomed – it makes my heart happy. We met at Radloff Park, along the Lourens River, in Somerset West where we walked scouting for nice spots. They brought along their beautiful Golden Retriever, Lilly, who was all too happy to be the centre of attention! The weather was perfect – It was warm and the sun-setting-light was magnificent. It was too beautiful. Tall stark trees against lush green grass, brightly lit by intense yellow rays. Perfection (almost ;-)). Do you get more perfect than a Mom (and Dad :-)) happily growing a new life. xxx

I love trees and all things green! It was warm, the sun was out and there was very little wind – a real rarity this time of year! Lovely! And the stunningly gorgeous Tasneem (and her hubby 😉 ) were such a pleasure to photograph! I cannot wait to meet your precious Daughter!

Delaire Wine Estate. Casper had organised us a whole separate lodge, all to our selves! Whoa! Its absolutely gorgeous – from the rooms to the gardens to the breathtaking views! Wow, was I impressed! A real stunner! I had a difficult job picking spots to photographs, its all simply amazing! What a wonderful couple are Karen and Casper! We had quite a few laughs! I wish them all the luck in the world for their impending birth! Little Mieke is going to surprise you – the love you will have for her will be the most indescribable love that is humanly possible! You’ll see. 😉

The apple of our eye | Pregnancy | home stretch

the apple of our eye 37 weeks; 10 March 2012 Iv’e always wanted to do a maternity shoot, for myself… so between Hubby and me we decided to do a D.I.Y maternity shoot! It’s really not the easiest thing out there, considering I am over obsessive over my photo’s and well, hubby is just not… Off we went on a beautiful Saturday afternoon on a drive out past Grabouw in search of some wheat fields, as this is where I wanted the photos taken. Yet only to find very brown, very short, measly fields of wheat… wrong time of year clearly. Just off the N2, we found a very scenic little road heading towards ‘the valley’. Here, we found some gorgeous lush apple orchards… and with luck on our side, a gap in the fence! How beautiful, lush and green… the perfect setting. And how very appropriate! Now I must say, I am not crazy about being in front of the Camera… but to hell with it, I figured, I want some memories of this precious time in our lives. Hubby did a STERLING job me thinks!! Although, very hesitant to begin with, with some slight guidance (he don’t really […]
