Families

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!


Gill and family | Somerset West Family Photographer

I met Gill and her family at the Helderberg Nature Reserve. They wanted to have a proper family shoot done, before all the children went back to their own lives and in fact, her one son was due to travel back to the UK that very evening. Your children are never too grown up and it is never too late to have family portraits taken!


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.


Patricia and family |Somerset West Family Photographer

This family of five is the nicest group of people I have met in a really long time! Patricia works for Helderberg Hospice and she won one of my vouchers at a Somerset West Business Network meeting. The voucher couldn’t have been won by more deserving person and it was a joy and a privilege to spend some time with them.


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!


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!


…and another on the way!

I posted some pics of 18 month-old Teneil in my previous post. This is her gorgeous mother, expecting her second child. Teneil loves to talk to and touch the baby, it is just to sweet to watch!







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 (-:







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!


Mr Happy and family - Somerset West portrait photographer

Matthew turned up for the shoot in a ‘Mr Happy’ shirt and I found the contradiction between his serious face and happy shirt quite interesting! He was full of jokes though and his mom and dad are so in love, it was a pleasure to work with them.








One Big Happy Family

Madeleen is my husband’s sister and I did a shoot for her family. Teenagers are so much easier to photograph than babies and toddler! They actually follow instructions and really seemed to enjoy the whole process.


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.
