Rondebosch Boys Matric Dance

It was such an honour to take photos of some of the young Matric pupils and their partners at a lovely home in Newlands.  The girls looked so glam in their evening gowns and the boys were handsome and charming. Big thanks to the lovely host and hostess for having us.

 

My assistant and I enjoyed every minute of capturing this special occasion.

 

We wish them every happiness with their future!

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” – Thomas A. Edison

Boudoir Photo Shoot

It has been quite a daunting task taking on Boudoir Photo Shoots – having the confidence to grow in my photography to the point of making woman feel comfortable in their bodies.

Sometimes as woman we do not feel valued or appreciated and having the space to feel special is something I want to offer woman….for them to come into a studio space where they do not feel intimidated but beautiful and powerful in their womanhood.

This quote sums it all up for me –

 

“My great hope for us as young women is to start being kinder to ourselves so we can be kinder to each other. To stop shaming ourselves and other people: ‘too fat, too skinny, too short, too tall, too anything.’ There’s a sense that we are all ‘too’ something, and we’re all not enough. This is life. Our bodies change. Our minds change. Our hearts change.”

– Emma Stone

So let us celebrate as woman – young or old, wrinkles, muffin tops, grey hairs….we are all beautiful…we have been created by our Creator who does not make mistakes!

Kaylin turns 13

A few months ago my assistant and I had the privilege of taking some pics on The Lakes of Kaylin.

What a beauty! Thank you to her lovely mom for granting us this opportunity to not only take photos, but to be in this beautiful setting.

We wish you every happiness for a bright future Kaylin!

Family Photo Shoot with Georgie & Family

A while back Georgie contacted me to do a Family Photo Shoot for her and the gorgeous family.

We met at Noordhoek Common, which is home to the family, as they have a business close by and live just down the road.

What an absolute joy this day was for us! The unity and love shared among them was something that touched our hearts.

 

You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.  Desmond Tutu

Studio Shoot with Anna

It has been a great blessing to finally open my own Studio!

Our first shoot was with the lovely Anna. Thank you Anna for being such a great model – you shine from within! What I truly appreciated was how comfortable you were in your own skin!

You are a natural!

“The biggest thing is the heart. If you find the heart in what you do, if it’s stage work, set work, modeling, you find the heart of it, that’s where the truth actually stems from. Our true personality shines from within.”  Jamie Brewer

Family Photo Shoot

It was a warm Sunday afternoon when we met Henobi and her lovely family at Noordhoek Common.

I am always so happy to do these photo shoots when grandparents can join in. Henobis’ Father was such a sport despite not being in the best of health.

 

“Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.”

Sweet 16

A few months ago we headed off to Jake’s Restaurant to do a 16th photo shoot for this stunning blonde girl and her friends.

Big thanks to mom Steph for arranging it. The girls were so pretty all dressed up – girls just want to have fun…and fun they had!

Family Photo Shoot in the Vineyards

A few months ago, we had the opportunity to do a photoshoot of this lovely mom and her 3 beautiful daughters – it was early evening and we had great fun take pics.

Walking along leafy pathways, taking in the beauty of the approaching sunset, I  was again reminded of how precious family is – what a great memory, to capture images of a mom and her three beauties….memories to treasure forever!

It was wonderful to see the love shared among them.

daughter is someone you laugh with, dream with, and love with all your heart.”
