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 know how to use my Cam ;p) and reassurance we did it!  What a pity he is not in the photo’s with me… but if it were not for him, these photos would not be.

Thank you my love, the grunts, huffs and puffs were worth it!!

See, pretty good at giving instruction… 😉
