The Beart Family | Stellenbosch Photographer
I met the Beart’s at their home in the Winelands and enjoyed an hour of fun and laughter with them. They were so relaxed, friendly and fun-loving, that it made my job even more enjoyable than usual!
Julie’s Extended Family | Stellenbosch Photographer
A few hours after I did Julie’s family shoot, we met up again – this time at her mom’s house at De Zalze. It was the first time in years that the whole family managed to get together, so family photos were definitely in order! I arrived just as they were finishing their Sunday lunch and everyone was jolly and relaxed – and with 8 children all under the age of 5, relaxed was just the way I wanted it! We decided to take all the pics at the house, as it would have been a huge mission to get all 19 people to a different location – especially after that lovely lunch 
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.
Karin’s Family at the Nature Reserve | Somerset West Family Photographer
I first met Karin and her family about 18 months ago when I did a shoot for them just before Christmas in 2009. I love meeting up with old clients and to see how their children have grown! Kai and Anja are such a friendly, well- behaved and charming pair – it was a real treat to spend some time with them. Here’s hoping that I haven’t seen the last of you yet!
Arenda’s Family Shoot | Somerset West Lifestyle Photographer
Sondag was ‘n lieflike dag – nie te warm nie en nie te winderig nie – net mooi reg vir ‘n laatmiddag fotosessie by die Helderberg Natuurreservaat waar ek Arenda en haar gesin gaan ontmoet het. Sy en haar man is geseënd met drie pragtige dogters en, soos altyd, was dit ‘n voorreg om ‘n tydjie saam met hulle te kon deurbring.
Family Shoot at Spier | Stellenbosch Lifestyle Photographer
Justine phoned me a while ago to organise a shoot for the whole extended family at Spier. We were very lucky to have exceptional weather, with no wind for a change! Despite them being such a large group, they were very easy to work with. Hope you like your photos!
The McKenna Family | Cape Town Lifestyle Photography
The McKenna’s are from the States, live and work in Madagascar and spent some vacation time in South Africa. They originally booked me for a baptism on the beach more than a year ago. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to make it in the end and had to ask my very talented friend, Louis Hiemstra, to step in for me. I was thrilled when I received an email a while back, telling me that they were back in SA on holiday and would like to have another family shoot done. We originally planned another shoot on the beach, but Cape Town’s weather being as temperamental as it is, we had to postpone and ended up going to Kirstenbosch instead. It was a real pleasure to finally meet them and spend a little time getting to know their very cute children.
Alyssa en Tamika (and a little bit of Josh!)
You might recognize these cute little faces from a shoot last year which I posted about here and here. This time, Caroline and Larissa wanted a shoot with the younger girls only, so capture that sweet innocence while they’re still so young. Josh came along and was not able to escape without posing for a few shots too!
The Liebenberg Family
Sunet is a very old friend of mine – we started Grade 1 together and 12 years later, we matriculated together. I hadn’t seen her since her boys were born, so I was very excited when she booked me for a shoot during our recent trip to Bloemfontein! Her boys are lovely – full of smiles and so easy to work with – and it was a lot of fun to spend a few hours with them. Ek hoop ek sien julle gou weer, geniet die foto’s!
The Steytler Family
Tiekie contacted me to book a shoot for their three totally gorgeous boys. I met them at their home in Welgemoed for a little bit of fun in front of the lens. I loved capturing these three lively and expressive faces!
Jack & Luke | Stellenbosch Photographer
I met Jack and Luke at their grandmother’s home at the beautiful De Zalze estate. They were visiting with their mother, Julie from Qatar and were in fact in the process of moving to Dubai! All of this with two small boys and Julie is pregnant with her third little boy – but more on this later.
Jack and Luke are two very busy, but two very sweet boys! They loved the cooler South African weather and really enjoyed playing outdoors.
Morgan & Jacqui | Cape Town Photographer
Janine wanted to have photos taken of her daughter, Morgan (2) and her niece, Jacqui (7) and she invited me to her home on what turned out to be a very windy afternoon! The wind however, did not deter us and fortunately Janine’s house is a photographer’s dream! Everything is beautifully white with perfect light. It also helped off course that both children are totally gorgeous!
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!!
Nicola & Glen | Cape Town Photographer
These are the highlights of what has to be my favourite children shoot so far, for a few reasons. If was the first time I did a proper shoot on the beach. (Can you believe it? Shocking, I know.) The light was glorious. I also got to do it in Plett. And most importantly, these gorgeous children belong to my best friend in the whole world – it was an enormous joy and a privilege to shoot them!
And baby makes 5 | Cape Town Baby Photographer
Suzanne recently gave birth to her third beautiful little girl and I went to their home in Durbanville to capture the new addition as well as the rest of the family. They are such awesome people and I had a great morning with the five of them. Apart from the pictures I took in the house, I set my stand and backdrop up in the garden and used only natural light to capture these images and I really like them!
Family in Franschhoek | Cape Town Portrait Photographer
Frances originally contacted me a year ago to book a family shoot, but due to unforseen circumstances, she had to cancel. I was delighted when she contacted me again this year to re-book. Here are a few pics of her three gorgeous children.
Doline (4) and Antoné (2) | Western Cape Portrait Photographer
When I arrived at Doline and Antoné’s home in Somerset West, they were waiting for me in matching pink outfits and seemed very excited about their photo shoot. They were so easy to work with and are such cute little girls, if I had the time, I would gladly have spent the entire day with them!
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?
Two sisters and their families: Caroline
Caroline contacted me to arrange a shoot for her and her sister and their – altogether five – children. They range in age from 9 months to 9 years and it was a lot of fun to capture all the cousins. I decided to show their pics in two separate posts as I took several hundreds of photos and couldn’t fit them in just one post!
Kai (4) and Anja (1) | Somerset West Family Photographer
I photographed Kai and Anja at their home in Somerset West and what a cute pair they are! Kai was very shy at first, while Anja immediately started charming me with her smile.
Another happy family | Cape Town Portrait Photographer
I’m doing some much needed catch up work on my blog, it’s been ages! I photographed this lovely family in November last year and they were such lovely people to work with!
