Brittney and K.C. | Somerset West Photographer
When Lola asked me about a location for their shoot, I suggested the Helderberg Nature Reserve as I just love the wooded area there. The light can be a little tricky, but since I used the location before, I had a better idea of how to handle it. The weather was horrible in the two weeks preceding the date of the shoot and we had to postpone once before already! It was with an anxious heart that I woke up that morning, listening for the telltale sound on the roof, but we were lucky! When I looked outside it was clear skies and beautiful. It was quite chilly though and poor Brittney and K.C. shivered in their short sleeves, but I think it was worth the effort. These are a few of my favourites – it was very hard to choose!
Another family of five | Cape Town Photographer
One of the things I like about my job, is that I get to meet really lovely people on a regular basis. These are some of those lovely people and it was so much fun to spend some time with them. The children were so well-behaved, adorable and beautiful, it made my job ridiculously easy!
Gabriella and Josephine | Cape Town Photographer
I met Gabriella and Josephine at their home in Hout Bay – their mother wanted to have pictures taken of the girls as a gift for their dad. I took by backdrop and lights with me and set up a little studio in their lounge. There was enough natural light that I could take most without the studio lights, which always makes me happy!
Gabriella is the eldest and how gorgeous is she?
Josephine is the new addition to the family and just wanted to be left alone – very sleepy little girl and hates to be undressed!
And since the family originally are from the Netherlands, we could not wrap up the shoot without a photo of Gabriella in her fan gear. Hup Holland hup!!
