Mieke & Marko are Christopher’s cousins, and the 2 of them decided to join our little picnic in the park.

I had heaps of fun with Mieke, whilst creating the cutest little “girlie” pictures of her

For those of you that know these 2 kiddo’s can just imagine what a job it was to create these pics…..busy, busy, busy that is what they are!!

I absolutely just love the image of the 2 them with the guinea fowl – they were completely mesmerized for a couple of minutes when the guinea fowl decided to stroll over.

Thanks Mieke & Marko – the 2 of you were heaps & heaps of fun and I loved capturing the true spirits of these little ones.

I met Christopher’s mom, Zelda last year whilst shooting a function for the Cape Town Film Commission at the CTICC. Zelda was the project manager for the Imbongi Awards.

She contacted me after she had her little man, and we decided to do a beautiful family picnic with little Christopher, Frank and herself.

We found the perfect picnic spot, I brought the pram, Zelda (the project manager that she is) did the finer touches and together we created the prettiest family portraits.

I met a little girl, or let me rather say, I met a little princess! I’ve been wanting to take pictures of Emily for ages, and finally had my chance on Monday.

She is the cutest little thing – EVER!!I won her over, by telling her she is going to be a princess if she follows my instructions…..and show me a little girl that does not want to be a princess:)

She sat down in the garden, looked up at me with her beautiful little eyes and asked me very sincere – “Am I a REAL princess NOW??”

Thanks Princess Emily for sharing your beautiful garden with me – you are the sweetest little thing EVER!!!

Did I ever mention that I LOVE TAKING PICTURES OF LITTLE ONES????

Thanks Suzanne & Tremein for waking up early and having fun with me early on a Saturday morning – what a stunning location!!!

My parents are visiting my brother in Australia, and while they are away I am looking after their house in Robertson and our family dog, UMLO, the bullterrier…..; whilst catching up on blog posts & sorting out my brain for the “nearly here” wedding season…..; and still creating more pictures of people that is in LOVE:)

Meet Suzanne & Tremein…..

This will be my 1st official busy wedding season, and I am really looking forward to it … little nervous, but excited at the same time!!!!

When she contacted me last week to make an appointment for pictures I was stoked and could hardly wait to start creating. Tati is from Brasil and her boyfriend Juan is from Argentina, but they have decided to make Cape Town their home.

We decided to take their beautiful dog, Lala for a walk and capture some natural pics of the 2, or let me rather say the 3 of them;)

Thanks Tati and Juan – I really enjoyed the morning walk whilst creating these images.

I am going to leave you with some very very true words of Paulo Coelho – “ever since time began, people have recognized their true love by the light in their eyes…” and the light that is shining from Tati & Juan’s eyes is nothing else, but TRUE LOVE!!!

Soooo, I had this vision that I need to take pictures of a little man dressed up in “golfing gear” – and was even lucky enough to find the perfect little face for this adventure…meet LOGAN.

Thanks Tarryn for playing along and dressing this little man like a real “golfer” – he looked soooo “flippen” cute!!!

Oooh, one other thing – did I mention that Logan even had an “invisible” guitar with him….?

This little man is such a R O C K S T A R – keep on rocking the world Logie!!!

Meet Jana, my little cousin….all grown up and ready to conquer the world. You looked soooo beautiful and I had soooo  much fun taking these pictures of you, the “dude” and your family. Thanks for the jump Carlo – I love the picture!!!!

Just a little message to take with you on the new adventures that is awaiting you:

“….if you can imagine it, you can achieve it and if you can dream it, you can become it…”

Good Luck with your final exams and stay as beautiful and lovely as you are.

Whilst doing the German “behind the scenes” photo coverage, I met some really interesting people. Ockie October was one of them – he was part of the private armed security we had with us 24/7. Yip, armed security – the kind of people I like to know;)

Ockie could not stop talking about his beautiful girlfriend and her little girl, so I decided to organize a photo shoot to meet this little girl….and what a cutie!!!

With the events coming to an end in Cape Town, I decided it was time to start work again – and what better assignment could I ask for?

A beautiful girl contacted me for a “beautiful people” portrait session…meet Amber Singer!
