]]> Altydgedacht farmI have known Shelley since Zara was a tiny little bean in her tummy ..and its been a wonderful journey to watch this beautiful lady turn into a beautiful, warm, loving mommy! It was so much fun for me to see the world through a childs eyes for this Durbanville shoot!  Zara’s expressions and excitement when the bubbles were blown was just priceless.  It goes to show that children dont need the most expensive toys …..simple things made fun by those they love is all that a  child ever needs.  Time, attention and love …what every child deserves ..unfortunately not every child gets …but little Zara is one fortunate little girl ….she is absolutely adored by her beautiful mama ….and her camera shy daddy!

Thank you, Shelley …I always love our collaborations!!!

The Mundell Family

I am a lover of natural interactions between people …especially families! I believe that when the natural interactions happen, then we are able to capture their individual personalities! This gorgeous family was no exception! The children were completely secure and confident of their parents love! Sharon and her hubby excude tranquility, gentleness and respect! And their children were confident in their parents full, undivided attention! And that, at the end of the day …isn’t that all a child requires?  Their parents attention and love …if only every child in this universe was lucky enough to have that wouldnt the world be a happier place!Cape-Town-family-photographer--19Cape-Town-family-photographer--25Cape-Town-family-photographer--29Cape-Town-family-photographer--32Cape-Town-family-photographer--37Cape-Town-family-photographer--44Mundell-66Mundell-71Mundell-74Mundell-75Mundell-77Mundell-84Mundell-86Mundell-91Mundell-94Mundell-99Mundell-101Mundell-104Mundell-105Mundell-107Mundell-111Mundell-112Mundell-117Mundell-122Mundell-128Mundell-131Mundell-133Mundell-135Mundell-137Mundell-138Mundell-142Mundell-144Mundell-145Mundell-146

]]> photograph of family in cape town gardenMy family blogging has been a bit behind!  But there was no ways I was ever not going to blog this gorgeous family!

I first met Cecile a few years ago when we did a styled shoot for her …and I loved her ….she was and is a very special lady!  So when she contacted me to do a family shoot of her family as a gift for her parents …I was so excited to see her again and meet her special people!  Needless to say it was like meeting up with an old friend when I saw Cecile …she still has a special place in my heart!

Her nephews were the cutest little boys you could imagine.  They were busy and active, as little boys are meant to be!  Someone randomly asked me the other day if all family shoots were perfect and that she kept putting off a family shoot cos her children weren’t perfect …..well ….let me just say ….no family shoot is perfect …there are moments of imperfection ….but there are always moments of pure perfection …natural moments ….moments of families interacting in their own special, unique ways!

All it takes is for everyone to relax ..and thats my job …..I know children have their moments ….tantrums, crying is all part and parcel of being a child …just like smiles, chuckles and joy,  …and I am pretty patient enough to wait for those moments!  So my answer to parents who are afraid that their children wont behave during a family shoot ……dont worry about it …..I have had three of my own ….I know there are no perfect families, they also have short attention spans before they are bored ….but they are your family ….the one you need to create memories with before they grow up too fast!  Dont regret not taking those photos ….I know I do!!!!

]]> CE-0013I have had the pleasure of watching this family grow over the years!  I first met Elana and Pieter when their first child, Theo was 6 months old!  And now I cant believe that little Dawid is already one years old!  Elana’s mom also feels like an old trusted friend as she has been on almost all the photoshoots with them!  I take my hat off to Elana as she is a big believer in having the family photos taken for all the milestones!  I still wish I had done that more with my own family!  When Elana’s boys are all big and grown up, she will be able to look back on these photos and remember a time when they were so small and adorable!  Enjoy your beautiful boys, Elana …they might keep you very busy …but the are just too adorable!  I always look forward to our next meetup with your lovely family!

I was fortunate enough to be able to do this gorgeous young couples’ family photography when Troy was just five weeks old.  Sarah-Jane is the tiniest, most petite little blonde ….I almost fell over when I heard Troy had been 4,4kgs at birth ….and even looking at her husband, Bruce, its hard to believe where this bonny boy came from.  But the beauty of having a big baby is that they are easier to handle …and Troy was so strong in holding his head up ….pretty amazing really.  I must just say …how lovely it is to see a young couple working as a team at parenting.  Their nursery was also a beautiful marriage between a designer and an engineer …..obviously Sarah-Jane has some amazing ideas and Bruce helps her bring it all together!  Their wood cladded wall worked as a perfect backdrop for some of the photos ….couldnt  have asked for anything better as a backdrop!
