Reyvan turned 2

One day I got a message from Reyvan’s mom saying she wished I was in Johannesburg.  I then told her that I was going to the Drakensberg in KwaZulu Natal in the June/July School holidays.  Well all worked out great we extended our holiday with a week and went to Gauteng before heading to Alpine Heath in the Drakensberg in KwaZulu Natal.

Reyvan was turning two and had his party at Spaanyard just outside Johannesburg. As you can see I took little Reyvan’s birthday photo’s and it was allot of fun and was just great to see my old clients again.

Krishnan Family Shoot

While I was on holiday I had the pleasure  to capture the Krishnan family.  Yes yes I know when you are on holiday you are suppose to rest, but I love my job so much I just could not resist booking this photo shoot.

I did not know the area but I was told that the Krishnan family had a lovely garden and that I would be able to take photo’s there.  I must admit I was worried when we drove to Benoni the greenest green was brown… Every thing is brown and it did not look very inviting or beautiful.

When we arrived at the Krishnan family the first thing that I looked for was grass, trees or shrubs anything with a bit of green. I was in luck….

Here ‘s some of the photo’s taken at their photo shoot.
