The Visser Family shoot at Bieuleau Farm, Elgin | Cape Town Family Photographer

I was very honoured when Roelien Visser (a Photographer too) from Finishing Touch, contacted me to do their family shoot. Their little Man, Reynard, is only a little younger than Eva. What a cute little guy! He was full of smiles and just LOVED to dance among the apple blossoms with his Mum 🙂 We met at Bieuleau Farm in Elgin. We tried our best to catch the full blossom bloom but unfortunately we just missed it! It was still beautiful though!

Four beautiful {Mom & Baby} ‘s

Whilst on our trip to Joburg, I met with my Sister-in-law, some Mums and their gorgeous Babes for a photo session! Wow, trying to get four baba’s to cooperate is not simple task! It was super fun though! I guess the trick is to simply let them be. It is quite important to me to photograph families and especially Mums. I feel, we (Mums) get left out a little. We are so focused on our beautiful baby that we spend hours taking pictures of them! Them with their Daddy, with their Granny and Aunty. Not many spare a thought for Mum. It is so important to capture Mum and Baby! Mum will ALWAYS look back at those special moments. Introducing Mums and Babes; Sam & Olivia, Joanne & Alexianne, Erica & Steven and my sister-in-law, Sam & Oliver! I think we got some awesome snaps and lovely memories for the Mums! I absolutely loved photographing these gorgeous little people and hope to do it again soon! Enjoy!

The Choles Family | Cape Town Family Photographer

THIS utterly gorgeous family is my boetie’s (brother’s) family! 🙂 I was so very stoked to be at Oliver’s Birth, a good few months back, to take some awesome birth pics and now, 8 months on, I get to show you how he has grown and how flipping adorable this little guy is! He ALWAYS has a smile on his face! I just look at him and he gleams! Heart-melting! Beware folks, stay clear of this one, if there is even a hint of broody-ness in you!! I must admit, I was a little nervous about taking photograph of my other nephew, Daniel. He can be quite the feisty one! And well, what Daniel decides, simply GOES! I think visiting Gogi’s (Granny Hunt’s) garden for the pic’s was a hit! A familiar environment allowed him to be happy and playful! 🙂 Enough said, hope you enjoy the pic’s!

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

Jeanne, Brendon and little Ethan | Cape Town Family Photographer

Here is some squishy baby cuteness for you! Little Ethan. He was born a few weeks prem and so at 9 weeks new he was still a teeny tiny little dude! Mom, Jeanne, was so anxious about the shoot as Ethan had not been well the past few days and was worried all we would get were crying pictures! But of course, Dad to the rescue! Ethan was a real champ and he allowed us to capture some wonderful pic’s! 🙂 Thank you little Man! xxx

Samara’s Christening | Johannesburg Newborn Photographer

Tasneem and Wahid’s little Girl finally arrived! At only four days old, Mom seemed rather relieved that all was over. Sadly, it wasn’t the birth experience she had wanted but Samara is here, perfect and healthy! Tasneem invited me to photograph Samara’s Christening (Doepmal). A very different and new experience for me. I am amazed at the intensity and sheer love the Muslims have for their God and Religion. It is truely moving. Thank you Tasneem and your family for allowing me into your home and lives! Samara will be the light of your lives and will delight you daily, for sure!! xxx

Tiny Hugo | Newborn

Gorgeous little Hugo just couldnt wait to greet us! He arrived a little early but still happy and healthy! Whilst photographing him he remained calm and collected until we tried to put him in his little basket… Oh no, he didnt want to know! The lying-on-back pose is still super cute! 😉 Absolutely love the way Mom and Dad prepared for his arrival – from the lovely writings on the wall to the old-fashioned family cot! So lovely and special.

It’s Max! |Johannesburg Newborn photographer

It’s a new life! A very dear and precious one! Marilise and Pierre welcomed me into their home and allowed me the privilege of photographing their new little bundle, Max. At 3 weeks new he was so very calm and allowed us to do our thing with hardly a wimper! Daddy was oh so very brave – he just cannot handle the poopy nappies, and as you can see he went all out! Little Max then decided he would make his mark on the situation! oh yes he did! 😉 Daddy didnt see the humour at all! Unfortunately!

Marilee & Christiaan | Baby | Cape Town Photographer

Oh these two were so sweet! Little Christiaan was happy, then sad… then alseep! Three seasons in one day! 😉 Marilee is a second time Mum and I can definitly see the difference – she is so relaxed. He cried – he could have screamed blue murder – and she was calm and collected. Not fussed or phased! And of course, it was not long and the little man was settled again. Nature is amazing. Absolutley loved photographing Marilee and Mr Chris!

This little Man has got some super-dooper energy! Mum really does have her hands full! He is gorgeous – the easiest little fella to photograph. He took one look at me and I got all the smiles! Was wonderful! Thank you mummy, Anine, for letting little Christopher just ‘be’. Cute Christopher, full of beans! Getting half of Christopher in my frame was a common occurrence… ants in those pants for sure! Little mischief!!

Michelle & Jodi | Kiddies | Cape Town Photographer

Little Jodi is a real character. A funny and feisty little thing! What a personality she has got! She is bold with a very sensitive side – gorgeous soul! I absolutely loved shooting her. I had so many laughs. Jodi was terrified of the big Dogs on the farm and clung to mummy for dear life (so precious!) but heck when she found her feet again, it was play play play! Adore this… flying in the water! So sweet! Jodi knows all the moves to all the nursery rhymes… and mummy too! hehe This to me, is just tooo precious. mwah Jodi smell the flower… 😉 Mummy… eat!!

Simone and Connor | Baby Love | Cape Town Baby Photographer

Simone has the most gorgeous little boy out there! Without a doubt, he has been married off already!! It really wasn’t the easiest of job getting smiles out of him, but we did get one or two! What is it with little boys with long lashes?! Seriously! Those eye’s are just to die for; royal blue (and i promise, no photoshopping here!!!), with dark LONG eyelashes! Pffft… makes me sick – he wont even appreciate them as a man! Adore this face!

Carolina and Stella | Baby Love

Carolina and Stella, I met, at the Mom’s group I attend in Grabouw. She too, joined the group when little Stella was a teeny tiny little being, in fact, if my memory serves me correctly we met Stella at five days new!! I remember clearly, Carolina and her Mum, (who had come from Brazil for the Birth of her Grandaughter *sniff*), came religiously every week! Its a very reassuring place to go to in those first lonely scary weeks of motherhood! Stella, now at four months of age, is really starting to interact with her world… its so adorable! And I think Mum is really starting to enjoy her bundle now! How they grow and change soo fast! Making fun out of tummy time!! Miss serious-ness! 😉 Mommy giving Stella loads of kisses… Adorable
