Suri’s shoot at Kirstenbosch | Cape Town Photographer
This is gorgeous little Suri – she just recently celebrated her first birthday and her parents decided to mark the occasion with a photo shoot. And what a perfect little model she was – cute does not even begin to describe it!
Julie’s Little Men | Stellenbosch Family Photograher
You might recognise Julie and her oldest two boys from this shoot I did for them a year ago. This time around, they were joined by the newest addition to the family, cute little Matthew! We met up on a Protea farm high up in the Helderberg mountain, with breathtaking views over False Bay. It was a cold morning, but after a solid week of rain, we were so relieved to see the sun shining that a little cold air were definitely not going to deter us!
Tori and Scarlett | Somerset West Photographer
I first met the Westvig”s almost two years ago, when Tori was only four months old. She’s now grown into a beautiful little two year old and was also joined by the newest addition to the family, seven month old Scarlett. What an adorable pair they are! Their parents are truly blessed with these two precious little girls.
The Van Zyl’s in Grabouw
I met the Van Zyl’s at their lovely home in Grabouw. The latest addition to their family, little Mia, was four weeks old at the time of the shoot. Off course, a new set of family photos were in order! Mia usually is a very sleepy and relaxed baby, but she was not happy with my plans for her morning at all! She tried to sleep through the first part of the shoot and was quite happy to be handled by her mom and dad, but as soon as my attention turned to her and her alone, she got fed-up with the whole process. But I persisted and managed to get most of the shots I was after! Her brother on the other hand, was a real little star and very happy to have me follow him around with my camera in hand. Here are a few of my favourites.
Emma’s Shoot | Somerset West Lifestyle Photographer
Emma and her family, who live in Gauteng, spent Christmas in Cape Town and decided to book me for a shoot while they were down here. I met them at the beautiful Vergelegen Wine Estate. Anna is a delightful little girl with such an expressive face! It was a joy to capture her.
Noah | Cape Town Baby Photography
I met this handsome young man at his parents’ home in Pinelands. He acted all serious throughout the shoot, but we managed to coach a few fleeting smiles out of him. He is completely adorable though and so cuddly!
Daniella | Cape Town Lifestyle Photographer
I met gorgeous little Daniella with her peach-coloured cheeks at her parents’ home in the Strand. And what a lovely home! It’s spacious and light and has the most fabulous wooden floors – just perfect for a shoot. Daniella was as good as gold and stayed patient throughout the whole session and numerous changes of clothes. I could have stayed all day, but then I would have had even more difficulty choosing a few images to post…
The Dippenaar Family
I met Boeta, Charleen and little Jemma at their home in Bloemfontein during my recent trip to the Free State. Jemma is a beautiful and very content baby, but she made us work very hard for the few smiles we got! Despite putting up quite a solemn face for the camera, she was more than patient and I could photograph her from every little angle. It was lovely meeting you guys, hope you enjoy your photos!
Visiting from Ireland
Joanne, who lives in Ireland, booked me for a shoot with her little baby boy while they were visiting her parents in South Africa. What a cutie! He was a treat to photograph and very generous with his smiles. I just loved the way he kept on trying to put his feet in his mouth!
Lelanie’s Family Shoot | Cape Town Family Photographer
It was early one Sunday morning when I met Lelanie at their beautiful home in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town. Her two little ones where quietly waiting for my arrival and behaved like true angels!
Just Visiting | Cape Town Portrait Photographer
Ilse and her family are South Africans, currently living in Australia. They spent some time here visiting family and friends and Ilse also took the opportunity to bring her almost 5 month old baby boy for a shoot. He is the friendliest little man, but as soon as he saw the lights flashing, he was in such awe that he forgot to smile! Ilse had to work very hard to draw a smile out of that serious face!
Olivia: 10 weeks | Somerset West Baby Photographer
Meet little Olivia. She was born 7 weeks premature and it took her a little while longer to reach average newborn weight. She is doing really well now and it was such a joy to spend some time with her and her lovely family. She was very alert during the shoot, but since she gets cold very easily, I had to work fast! Olivia has a beautiful complexion and looks just like a little rose. I know that she is going to bring her parents much love and joy!
Two sisters and their families: Larissa
And here are the rest of the pics from the session I mentioned in my previous post. I just love the photo of the three of them together where the little one is cupping her brother’s face with her one hand – how cute is that?
Goldilocks | Somerset West Portrait Photographer
I am totally in love with this little girl’s hair! Her mom takes art classes and is in the process of doing sketches of each of her children. She wanted some proper portraits to use when doing sketches of her 2-year old daughter and I ended up taking hundreds of photos!
And off course I couldn’t leave without taking a few photographs of her sweet baby sister.
Tori: 4 months old | Somerset West Baby Photographer
Tori is only four months old, but already a real bundle of femininity. Sweet and gentle, she was such a joy to meet. And she is so in love with her dad, she kept on staring endlessly into his eyes – so cute!
Jamie: 11 months
Jamie is a real cutie – such a friendly little guy and very keen to smile at the camera!
Bailey | Somerset West & Stellenbosch baby photographer
I just love the name Bailey! She is 10 months old and very curious about everything around her. She made me work very hard and I had to use up all my tricks to keep her occupied long enough to get a few pics! Here are a few of my favourites.
Jeanine and her girls | Stellenbosch & Somerset West family photographer
Jeanine wanted portraits taken of her and her two girls as a birthday gift for her husband – I’m sure he was very glad it was a surprise, apparently he hates being in front of the camera! Baby Jemma was smiling and gurgling happily while we were getting ready for the shoot, but as soon as she saw the camera, all smiles disappeared and we had a very tough time getting her to just look up, never mind at the camera…I suppose she takes after her dad (-:
My Granny and I | Somerset West Baby Photographer
This little guy’s grandmother lives in Somerset West and when his mom and dad decided to come down from Joburg for a visit, his mom booked a shoot for him and his granny as a gift. What a wonderful idea and a great way to remember the visit and capture the special bond between them!
Healthy baby boy
It was such a pleasure to work with this beautiful little boy – would you believe that he is only eight weeks old? He is strong, healthy and happy and gave me such a beautiful smile that I almost (but not quite!) forgot to capture it! I had him picked up and put down, on his back and on his tummy, with hats and without hats, and through it all he remained happy (just complained once for a little snack, poor thing) and cooperative, even falling asleep towards the end. Thank you, sweet little man, it was great fun working with you!
My Friend’s Family
Celest is a friend of mine. Her youngest daughter was born two months premature and after they were able to eventually take their precious baby home, I was given the opportunity to photograph their family. Anina, the eldest, is three years old and Carli is two months.
Mia’s Christening
Little Mia was Christened in Bloemfontein and looked like a European princess with her beautiful dress and cape. She has such a delicate face!
