The Greef family piled into one of their company busses and made the trip up the hill to Summerveld for a photo shoot. There were three family units in total, with all of them being just as fun-loving as the other. We got some great portraits and then I got the kids to run around,…
I was booked at the last minute to shoot baby Cayla’s dedication at Collisheen’s Orchid House, the family had initially booked Carmen Roberts but she had an unfortunate sporting accident and had to pass the job over. We refer work to each other often so it was nothing out of the ordinary. I was pleased to…
The Hadebe family came to Durban on Holiday at the end of November, they stayed in Umhlanga and decided to have a family photo shoot on the Umhlanga beach while they were here. They were very excited about it and they even bought new outfits, it was a lot of fun and the photos came…
On the same day that I shot Lee & Odette’s maternity shoot below, I did a family shoot for the La Bella’s at Summerveld. This was a really fun family who were full of laughs, they didn’t mind jumping around and lying on the grass. I love the fresh air and wide open spaces of…
It’s always such an honour when a couple whose wedding I shot gets in contact again for another shoot. I remember Lee & Odette’s wedding as if it were yesterday, they had a stunning day at Under the Marula in Shongweni, and they also had the great Durban reggae band The Meditators perform live for…
I spent an hour down on the Zimbali beach with the Fairweather family, capturing all their holiday smiles. It was grandpa’s 70th birthday so they decided to rent a house and all get together, family members came from around South Africa and abroad for the occasion. Children are always the busiest little bodies, so I…
Tumi and Rethabile are a wonderful couple who came down to Umhlanga on holiday, and decided they’d like to have a maternity shoot done while they’re here. I met them on the Umhlanga beach and we had a bit of fun, we chatted and got on really well. They were smiling from ear to ear…
There are some families who are quite shy and reserved, during the photo shoot I really have to encourage them to let loose a bit and have some fun. The Goodes family didn’t need any coaxing at all, they were laughing, smiling, playing around and having so much fun right from the beginning. They came to stay…
Fernanda and her family came with their children down to Umhlanga for the December holidays, they decided it was very important to have a family shoot while they were here! It was quite windy as Umhlanga beach often is so we started at the top of the stairs where there is a good view of the lighthouse…
I was a bit hesitant about agreeing to travel so far up the coast just for a family shoot, Princes Grant is over 100kms from where I’m based in Hillcrest. Since it was December time and I was so fully booked up with photo shoots and weddings, I decided it would be a good idea to…
