I love shooting in the forest, this great family was so much fun and game for anything - climbing in trees and jumping over streams - just to get that special shot.  Little man Jamie was true to his age and a real busy-body running around, exploring and discovering all the great things around him. 
 
Lovely Oprah turned two recently and spent a GORGEOUS day at Green Point Park celebrating with her friends and family.  What a lucky girl to have a sunshine day on her party in the middle of Cape Town winter!
 
Little two-year-old-energy-bundle-Kiara and her parents were so great and easygoing on their Photoshoot, we started the session a bit early with some harsh light that was really unexpected on a beautiful winter's day... so we ended staying longer than planned at Green Point park and were rewarded with the most magical pastel colours in the sky.  I simply love the mood, love and light of this shoot!
 
Just in time for Mother's Day, Michelle decided to get her mom and granny together for a shoot with her beautiful daughter Oprah.  Just as the sun was setting behind Devils Peak, we strolled along the gorgeous paths of Arderne Gardens in Claremont and managed to capture some magical moments of three generations of mothers and a little busy body that, as a typical toddler, just couldn't sit still ;)
 
I love autumn, especially May.  

Not only because its my Birthday-month, my Anniversary-month AND Mothersday-month, but more so for the change in season.  A reason to get out some winter socks and light up the fireplace... mostly I love autumn for all the beautiful COLOURS! 

So when Nicole asked me to do a shoot for her family of three beautiful teenage kids and two dogs, I was so excited when she agreed to do it near the Majik Forest in Durbanville, next to some colour-changing vines!  On the day, I even got my favourite photo-shoot weather: Overcast skies! 

This family was awesome and really game for anything, jumping, running and very nearly even swimming in the stream.  Their energy and joy was very contagious!
 
What a crazy photo-shoot! late on a Sunday afternoon running through beautiful Kirstenbosch Gardens, we took some long over-due pics of stunning little Sarah-Jane (and a few of her parents too!).  Taryn and Shaun are such a happy couple, contented with their latest addition to the family, totally in love with each-other and parenthood.  I love photographing LOVE!

so much adoration...looking at her Daddy's eyes (I love that you can see his reflection in hers!)
 
Last Sunday afternoon we had a family shoot with my good friend Andrea, her sister Gaby and mom Joan.  They were great fun and we spent some relaxing time walking about Green Point Park/Moullie Point; in between the chatter I managed to get a few snapshots:
 
On possibly the hottest day of the year, little Sarah-Jane was baptised.  A beautiful event, spent with family and friends, accompanied by a sumptuous and delicious feast!
