January sessions

ooops… so sorry for negletting my blog this month…
It’s been a little bit nutty and a lot of crazy this past month..

January 2010 is no over, can you believe it?
I had some fantastic sessions in January and I cant wait to share them with you.

First up, this gorgeous family is expecting another little girl, Olivia.. she is going to be gorgeous!!
I last met up with them in 2008 for a family session, I love being a part of these special moments.

Meet little Leah… we met up at the Walter Sisiulu botanical gardens to capture some beautiful portraits for her christening invitations…
I think we got some beautiful captures, and how could we not, look at her, oh my word, isn’t she just GORGEOUS!!!

Another beautiful bump… Monica.. she is also expecting a little girl any day now ♥ ♥ ♥

last but definitely not least, little Donte… I last saw her when she was just 2 weeks old… look at her now.. so big.. so beautiful. ♥

I will try add some more from these sessions later in the week, until then, take care, have a fantastic week.

Much love

The last of 2009 and our annual Photo Competition ~ {Johannesburg Photographer}

Hi everyone.

Happy New Year,  I hope your Christmas and New Year was blessed with lots of happy memories…
I can’t believe 2010 is already here.. another new year..  Loads happening this year for us…
We’re off to grade 2 :) and we have a new baby coming in June.. we are so very blessed ♥ ♥ ♥

I’ve a few sessions from last year to still share with you, but I’m only going to share one from each session as I still want to load the competition…

Meet Tanya and her BEAUTIFUL family.. wow, they are all so very gorgeous!!  and how perfectly dresses were they?

This little guy’s name is Alexandro and he is such a darling..  I cannot wait to meet his little brother or sister that’s soon to be here, hope you are keeping cool Monique.. this heat is awful!

I met up afterwards with this very trendy family.. Meet Natasha and her handsome boys…

And of course a little newborn to melt your heart… meet Imogen… oh my goodness, she is absolutely perfect! ♥ ♥ ♥

With those being the last of 2009, I’d like to take this time and thank you, my clients, for being such an awesome part of my year.  I’ve had so many fantastic sessions this year, I’ve grown not only as a photographer but also as a person, and you had a part of that.. Thank you! ♥ ♥ ♥

To end the year, here is a little slide show of  some of my sessions from 2009…  As you can see I was blessed with wonderful clients.. I wish I could include them all in the slideshow, but alas I had a very blessed year with over 80 clients..
I do hope you enjoy it… it’s about 10mbs in size, so might take a little bit to load…

The above image was taken in Tayla’s beautiful bedroom, I love that because I shoot in your home, I am able to combine these little things that are personal to your family.. it makes it *that* much more special, don’t you think?   Enjoy!
