Flowers in B&W

chrysanthimum-bw

I picked the kids up quite late this evening, and hadn’t taken a photo today either by that time, so I told the boys we needed to go to the shops to buy bread, milk and flowers.  The idea was to take some creative photos of the flowers. Bradley caught the flowers word very quickly,...

I love the angle too. They would look probably “boring” just in color. I like your decision to change it to a B&W shot. :)

And Connor is soooo sweet, as always :) )

Finally I’m able to visit your blog again – thanks to good connection quality – and sorry for the long absence! Traveling and driving sometimes almost 8 hours a day is very tiring and often I just don’t feel like sitting on my laptop at all. I know it’s sounds like an excuse, but it is not! :) )

And do you think the message went out to hubby regarding your love for flowers. Maybe he’ll get home tonight with a bunch.

Beautiful photo!! Love the angles!

By the way I have voted already but tried again just now and was able to vote! Had difficulty submitting but once it went through it was accepted. Maybe that’s what happened the first time and my first vote didn’t go through – need to check the emails to find out.

Celebrating 70 years | Johannesburg party photographer

With the grandchildren

I was privileged to take photos at Izzie’s 70′s birthday party on Saturday night. The party was held at a family home in Johannesburg, and all his close family and friends were there for the occasion.  And what a fun bunch of people they were, I’m sure the party ended in the wee hours of...

Jeanette, the pictures are absolutely awesome. I just love the first one of the grandparents and grandkids. Those are the photos that people look at years later when people have passed on and remember the good times. The one of him hugging the boy (your fav) is very special as well. One mighty WELL DONE on this project.

Shame – she was not happy when it came to cake time! I think the jumping castle and all the excitement beforehand tired her out.
