Making Picture-Perfect Memories for life
Myriad memories frozen in time
Hein Smit, one of our talented designers, was part of the Save the Tie, Save a Child Fashion Show. His dresses made heads turn, and one was sold after the second show… Months of work went into the design and making of these dresses. Many late nights and hundreds of ties went into these masterpieces.
Hein also designed the dress for our Hostess, Mrs. Cape Town 2013, Chantal Witthuhn.
Thank you for stopping by my blog.
Hein and I started talking via Facebook after I took photo’s of Mrs Cape Town 2013 in one of the dresses he designed for her out of old and unused ties. I personally met him for the first time at one of the  Save the Tie, Save a Child meetings. Hein is a very talented and passionate designer and I love his work.  
Hein is launching his own clothing line Blue Chameleon and I have the pleasure to capture it for him. If you would like to order any items of this clothing line please contact Hein via Email: hein@heinsmitdesign.co.za or phone him on his Cell: 073 816 4884 for an appointment. The best of all is you can pick and choose what colors you want it in and also mix and match allot of the items.
For more on his Blue Chameleon clothing line please visit my partners page or click here.
Mrs Cape Town 2013 Chantal Witthuhn hosted the  Save the Tie, Save a Child Fashion show on 27/28 June 2014.  She had the idea of making outfits out of old and unused ties. When she asked me if I would be part of the team I just could not say no. What an experience it was and I have grown allot in the process. I helped collect ties, took photo’s at the meetings and had the honor to meet so many new people. The best of all was to see old ties transformed into gorgeous outfits and evening gowns….
The Junior Models and their Mothers  had approximately one week to design a dress out of the old and unused ties collected.  They did not disappoint at all and I must say I was super impressed once again.
Over the next few posts I will share some of the photo’s of the three designers who were also part of the project.

I am so proud of myself at this point in time. I designed my own logo after I did some research.
A while back I decided it was time for a change but never knew what I wanted. Don’t get me wrong I love my old logo but every now and then one must make a few changes.
My new logo is nothing fancy and I like the clean look of it. Over the next few months my website will also get a fresh new look….
Over the past few months I have learned so much  and my style of editing and capturing moments are busy to change. It’s true that one never stop learning in this business and one must keep up with the trends or you are going to be left behind….
I also want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me over the last few years building my business. Â If I look back to the first photo shoots I did and to the ones I do now I must say I am very proud of work. It keep getting better and better….
Thank you for stopping by.

Some History on the Augrabies Falls National Park. I got this from the parks website.
The name Augrabies was given to the Water Fale by a Swede, Hendrik Jakob Wikar, when he passed there in 1799.
The name is derived from the Nama word as the Khoi people would refer to “Aukoerebis” meaning the “Place of Great Noise.” This refers to the Orange River water thundering it’s way down the 56m spectacular main Water Fall.
Unfortunately the fall was not that spectacular when we went to visit. I must say I was very disappointed and as we drove in the park visiting the different view points I was hoping that the big one is still to come….

The view from one of the view points. The river were not rushing as I thought it would be. My first thought was okay we a still far from the falls… I loved the colors and patterns of  the rocks along the 18 kilometer gorge. It just shows one how powerful water can be.

Something about Hyraxes….. Thank you Wikipedia…
Hyraxes are small, thickset, herbivorous mammals in the order Hyracoidea. Hyraxes are well-furred, rotund animals with short tails. Typically, they measure between 30 and 70 cm long and weigh between 2 and 5 kg. They are often mistaken for rodents, but are more closely related to elephants. Four species are recognised; the rock hyrax (Procavia capensis), the yellow-spotted rock hyrax (Heterohyrax brucei), the western tree hyrax (Dendrohyrax dorsalis) and the southern tree hyrax (Dendrohyrax arboreus). Their distribution is limited to Africa and the Middle East.
