Best friends | Johannesburg Lifestyle Photographer

Posted in Whenever Sessions Tags: Elaine, family, photography, portrait, ruin, urban decay

I had the pleasure of taking photos of my gorgeous sister, Elaine, and her equally gorgeous best friend, Robyn, this morning. We had loads of fun on a friend’s farm between Tarlton and Magaliesburg today, even though it was icily cold! The plan was to take photos of the two of them in evening wear as well as casual clothes, and although they schlepped their fancy clothes all around the farm, it just never warmed up enough for them to change.

I love how the photos turned out though… they’ve never had photos taken of the two of them before, even though they’ve been friends from early school days.

Absolutely gorgeous!
What a wonderful idea to have pictures taken of you and your sister. My best friend and I call each other sisters. We are very close- this last week she caught a very dangerous disease called leptospirosis. As soon as she gets better I’ll have to take pictures with her.
Your pics are totally inspirational,
Eren
