Newborn Baby Mason

Newborn Baby Mason is gorgeous but I am not surprised!   He has inherited the great genes from his parents and grandparents.

linked hands over baby Mason

A small world!

I have known Baby Masons’ maternal grandmother for a good few years and even though I didn’t know her daughters well, I obviously knew about them both.  Strangely enough, I  have also met Baby Masons’ paternal grandmother as she is the sister of a friend and Sean is the cousin of my sons good friend.  Imagine my surprise when I realised that these two separate friends had become family.

Mommy and Daddy with Baby Mason

I was very stoked when I was asked to photograph this gorgeous little man!  I couldn’t wait to meet him.

Newborn Baby Mason with his smitten daddy

His parents, Sean and Jennifer are completely in love with this little dude!  It’s beautiful to see!

These two gorgeous parents are absolute naturals and are completely relaxed with being new parents.

No, I am positive that that is not a wind smile!  How perfect is he?  Gosh, no wonder he has everyone wrapped around his finger!  He is just so adorable and so absolutely relaxed!

Granny Gusti is also totally bowled over!  She told me the other night that she is getting withdrawal symptoms if she hasn’t seen him!a tender moment with mommy and son

Such a beautiful natural mommy!  Jennifer seems to be so comfortable this tiny baby.  It’s hard to believe that he is her firstborn! And he was only born 11 days previously at Louis Leipoldt Hospital!

we are family

It is always special to see young couples become a family!  Sean and Jennifer are naturals  and I am sure it won’t be too long before they give this little cutie a brother or a sister!daddy changing baby sondaddy changing babybaby with a bowtie outfitcrying baby

This was the only time that I saw him cry, when he was changed!

]]> CE-3I get to meet really gorgeous families!  And this beautiful family is no different!  Children are always so special …no matter their ages!  Their little personalities are already so very well developed from such young ages!

Big brother, Luca is a serious, responsible bookworm who is already showing lots of signs of being as clever as his dad!  He is caring and will be a fantastic big brother to his two younger sisters …always making sure that they are well looked after!  But Gabriella will definitely make him sweat …as this is a girl who is in tune with nature ….she loves to be outside, runs around, will climb trees and is generally just a free spirit!

Alessia, well …at this stage …lets just say she is a content little lady surrounded by her parents and siblings who adore her!  But how lucky will she be …hanging out and having fun with her cool big sister but being protected and looked after by her older, responsible brother!  Debrah & Gaetano have a beautiful family to cherish …each one them unique and interesting little individuals!

]]> Cape Town photographer, Cape town Wedding photographerI have had the pleasure of doing a few shoots for Shelly and Oscar and I feel I have got to know them quite well so when I was asked to do Zara’s Newborn Lifestyle shoot, I felt I was going to visit friends who had just had a baby …and I was so excited to meet this tiny, little girl who had made her entrance five weeks early and weighed a small 1.9kg at birth …although I doubt if she would have been a big baby at full term as her mommy is the tiniest, daintiest lady who is sucha girly, girl …so I thought it was awesome when I heard they were having a little princess …as Shelley is going to have so much fun playing dress up with this little girl and I think Oscar is going to enjoy having another princess to spoil.  Zara is absolutely gorgeous and is a photogenic as her gorgeous Mama.  Take a peek at these pics and see how very smitten her parents are over this gorgeous little cherub!

]]> Twins ….double the trouble but double the joy!  I met these two adorable little babes when their Mom and Dad decided to come to Cape Town for a holiday!  Family photography introduces me to so many families from across the globe.  Moneeb & Aliya and their beautiful babes are from Manchester in the United Kingdom ….although they knew Cape Town pretty well as they had both worked here at Groote Schuur many years ago ….Aliya as a doctor and Maneeb as a scientist.  It was interesting to chat to this family …as these two Medical geniuses battled for many years to have these two munchkins ….it just shows …sometimes even with all the knowledge …..you still have to leave it in the hands of a Higher Power!  And after a long wait ….they were blessed  with a double dose of joy!  It was lovely to meet your lovely little family, Moneeb & Aliya ….wishing you a safe trip home …and hopefully Cape Town will see your family again in the near future!

I first met Tas, Dylan and Jack when I did Jack’s Newborn photography three months ago.  Tas asked me if I would be available when her sister, Yasmin and her little boy , Zane, came to visit from Hong Kong as she thought it would be really cute to take photos of the cousins who were born exactly a year apart.  Jack was a month early and by being a month early ..he arrived on Zanes’ first birthday …how special was that!  I have to say this is one gorgeous family!  The little boys are just so cute …as cute as little buttons.  Zane is the cutest 15month old and Jack is really so precious ….I love the photograph where it looked like he was giving me such a charming smile.  Zane is a normal active toddler and hardly ever sat still …but he gave us lots of laughs and giggles ….I especially laughed when i saw him do the laundry …apparently thats his favourite pastime …he loves loading the washing machine with all the dirty clothes and then taking them out and giving the clothes a good shake ….no lie …go look …I have captured it!  These family moments were really precious as they dont get to see each other too often ….oceans and continents separate but thank goodness for technology …as Skype makes it so much easier these days!  It has definitely made the world a smaller place!  Tas reckons i am now their family photographer …..I really hope so …cos i would love to see Jack become a gorgeous toddler like his cousin …these two boys are going to be heartbreakers!
