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. 

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!
