The Steenkamp Family in Paternoster
Hulle sê mens kan nie jou familie kies nie, maar as dit kom by hierdie gesin, sou ek beslis nie vir beter kon vra nie! Ek dink die term “sout van die aarde” is spesiaal vir hulle bedoel. Dit was ‘n groot voorreg om weereens ‘n paar foto’s vir hulle te kon neem, toe ons onlangs saam in Paternoster vakansie gehou het. Wat hierdie shoot veral spesiaal gemaak het, is dat hul oudste dogter, Elri, hierdie jaar die huis verlaat om te begin met haar universiteitsloopbaan. Ek weet haar plek in die huis gaan baie leeg wees, maar ek weet ook dat sy altyd sal terugkeer, bloot omdat daar nie ‘n lekkerder huis in die land is nie! Ek hoop dis vir julle almal ‘n wonderlike jaar xx
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!
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.
