Lisa’s 1st Birthday Party | Cape Town Photographer

Saturday the 16th of November. Somerset West Floods. We (ALL) woke up at 4h30 to take hubby to the start of the Winelands marathon (which he was really looking forward to) only to be flooded in on both sides of our complex! We later heard, Vergelegen was flooded – the hospital across the road from us. Numerous ‘people’ were flooded. I awaited the call from Mum, Jacolien, to cancel Lisa’s party. Needless to say, she never cancelled, and thankfully the water subsided by the time I needed to leave! It rained ALL day, so Lisa and her little buds had to play and celebrate indoors! I’m not sure they noticed! With Cake and Flings, who would care, anyway! 😉 Many thanks to Jacolien and Chris for the support 🙂 May your beautiful Lisa bring you endless joy!

Cisca & Madison at Boschendal Wine Estate | Cape Town Photographer

I met with Cisca and her beautiful daughter, Madison, at Boschendal Wine Estate in Franschhoek. They live in the Netherlands and come to SA to visit family. Boschendal is a special farm as Cisca mom had preciously worked there, and so we decided to do some Mom and Daughter photographs in and around the farm. Mom had warned me that Madison was not in the greatest of mood. With this warning, I put on my friendly smiley face, knelt down to her level and made her feel comfy. She was wonderful! We let her play and run around. We blew bubbles and looked at flowers! She really was great! 😉 Madison only speaks Dutch, yet she understand English. Wow, at 21 months, it is simply amazing what these little minds know and learn! Here we are, introducing little Madison…

Mieke’s 1st Birthday | Cape Town Photographer

I was very honoured when Karen, Mieke’s mom, called me to photograph Mieke’s very first birthday! I did Mom’s maternity shoot and little Mieke’s newborn shoot! Wow, I couldn’t believe that one whole year had passed, and she has turned into the most adorable little girl! She has the most amazing blue eyes and such a wonderful calm personality. Besides bursting into tears from the big sparkler on her cake, she had a ball! 😉

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

Lauren & Lexi | Mother Daughter | Cape Town Family Photographer

We met at the gorgeous Lourensford wine estate in Somerset West. Yep, my stunning home town! I was relieved to see that Granny was coming too! Oh, Grannies are wonderful! Boy, did this one go all out! Those super cute pic’s of Lexi laughing out LOUD, had me in STITCHES! The cherry on top, for sure, would have been a second shooter behind Granny… hehe There is something about these little ones, they make my heart sing! I love it! And little Lexi was no exception. What a stunning and beautiful little girl! I commented on her beautiful eyes, and Mommy proudly stated that they were her Daddy’s eyes! So with TWO (yes, two) bribery bags, off we went walking the estate! Lexi was wonderful and Mom too! A truly wonderful pair! Congrats, Mommy (and Daddy) on such a beautiful little girl! Thank you for the opportunity to photograph your family! 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!

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!!
