Making Picture-Perfect Memories for life
Myriad memories frozen in time
A while back I got an email from Armand’s shooting coach and teacher. She wanted to book a family shoot for her and the three men in her life.
We went to Joostenberg Bistro on the R304 for their photo shoot. Of course I took Armand with to assist me with the shoot. We had a blast and laughed alot. It took the oldest a while to warm up to the camera an in the end the boys were literally swinging in the trees….

Danette contacted me one day and asked if I do vintage shoots… Well I never did one before but as you all know by now I never say no to learn something new…. First I panicked because what do I use for props? Then one afternoon I was dusting my show cabinet and there it was…. Old camera’s, my toy car my grandfather bought me when I was small, my Mother’s sewing machine from her childhood a old telephone my Father brought home one day and the list goes on….. In the end I had lot’s to choose from.
I hardly ever do set up’s for my shoots but after doing this Vintage shoot I think I’ll do it more often. I just have no idea where I am going to put all the props…. When it came to the editing of the shoot I did not do much I just played with the different effects.
I am very happy with the end results of this shoot

I met Natasha and her kids about three years back. I was very honored when she asked me to do their family portraits for them.
Normally children take a while to warm up to the camera, but not these two. They had their own ideas of how they would like to pose. The shoot was a breeze. Before we could blink the shoot was done.

I launched a Mothers day competition in May month. My student Lizette was the lucky one who won a photo shoot with me. We had a ball and she got first hand experience on how it feels to be a client at my studio. AJ her oldest child loved posing for the camera, Janco on the other hand had to be bribed. In the end we got lovely photo’s of them and even Janco could not stop laughing….

I had the pleasure to capture these beautiful ladies a few weeks back. The daughters decided to do something special and bring their mother for a photo shoot with them. We had so much fun and I enjoyed the shoot very much.

A while back I had the pleasure to capture the Correia family. We did two shoots that morning. One for the family and one of Chase the newest addition of the Correia family.
Little master Cruz had a mind of his own like most 2 year old’s have. I am just glad I did get to capture some shots of him laughing…

Christelle and I practically grew up together since I was 3 I think. I saw her fall head over hills love with Francois. I was there when they got married and started their beautiful family. My mother (a day mother at that time) took care of their 3 oldest daughters until they moved away. I saw them all pulling faces at their first bite of food,crawl, take their first steps and go off to school . So all and all this was a very special family shoot for me.
Please go and have a look at Marais Family on my website. Feel free to comment and like the photo’s too.
On the 2nd of January 2014 I had the honor to capture the Otto Family in my home studio.
Mommy Michelle was so excited about the shoot they tried to learn little 21 month old Mienke to say smile and then she smiled… But when it came to the push little Mienke did not smile at all we tried everything she just did not want to work along. While mommy was interacting with Mienke I saw she relaxed a bit and I told mom to keep going I took a range of photo’s of little Mienke while mommy and daddy distracted her. I had to crop and clone out mommies hand in all Mienke’s individual photo’s but at least I got some great shots.
Looking forward to our outdoor shoot later the month. Gonna put on my running shoes and camouflage clothing so that Little Mienke don’t spot me….

On 28 December I had the privilege to capture the Willemse Family with their new addition Little Miss Anke.
Anke was not feeling very well and in the end we did not get photo’s of her alone. We did manage to get one or two photo’s with the other members of the family before she started crying… Looking forward to capturing little Anke within the next few weeks.

I am busy editing my dear friends family shoot. Little Thomas did not want to smile in the group photo’s but here on his own it was a different story… I just love this one of him.
Today my friends came for their long overdue family shoot. Thomas told us he was finished with photo’s and like always the best way to get any child to participate and laughing naturally is while playing…. My photo of the day though is the one where little Thomas disappeared behind the ball. That also happens from time to time….
Still busy working on the Pospech shoot. It’s taking a bit longer. Have to do some creative editing in some photo’s…
Just love this one of Father and Daughter…
I just love this photo I edited tonight of two sisters. These are part of the Pospech Family Shoot. Big sister just love her baby sister. More later….
My photo of the day for 3 August 2012 is of the Kruger family. More photo’s of this precious family to follow within the next few weeks….
I had the pleasure to photograph this lovely family at my home studio.
All of them were so spontaneous with the camera and little Miss Aquinnah (20 months) just love pulling faces. She even told her mom to lie down for a photo…
Hope you enjoy the photo’s.
Today I had the privilege to capture a lovely little girl and her mother and father. She had on a cute little purple dress and a heart melting smile…
More photo’s of their shoot will follow within the next few weeks.
My photo of the day was the first photo that I took of her. She even posed for me. Glad I got these ones.
Today’s post is without any photo’s. I had a very busy day and downloading all the photo’s is taking forever.
I filled up my Laptops extra hard drive so now I have to start moving files to my external Hard drive.
Reyvan’s Birthday party was at Spaanyard a party farm and I got some stunning photo’s of him and his little friends who joined him. Hubby joined me so together we took 1200 photo’s.
After the party we went to Rosebank Mall to go and surprise Sunette Nieuwoudt one of the Mrs South Africa finalist for 2012. I am very glad we could go and give her some support. I took some photo’s of her and the other finalists and also with the current Mrs South Africa.
When we got back to our friends house I started downloading the days photo’s. Then we left for a family shoot at the Bunny park. When we got there it was closing so we went to a dam with some slides, swings and other cool stuff to play on. I took some lovely family photo’s of them and also some individual photo’s of the kids.
As soon as I have time I’ll post the photo’s. I still have allot of editing and posting to do.
Tomorrow we are leaving for the Drakensberg and according to my dad there are snow on the mountains. Hope it is still there by tomorrow.
Not going to say much today. I had a photo shoot this morning with the Kirshnan family.
Yes I know I am on holiday but like you will know by now. I love capturing memories for others and like the blog’s name says Picture Perfect Memories for life.
