Lerato contacted me few weeks ago via my blog to book her photoshoot so that she’d be as close to the end as possible.  And we nearly didn’t make it! She is 36 weeks pregnant at the moment, and on Tuesday, when I contacted her to finalise details, she told me that she was in hospital and they were trying to stop her contractions.  It was a serious case of deja vu for me, considering it was Connor’s 3rd birthday that day, and I’d been in that position on the same day 3 years before also at the same stage in my pregnancy!

Thankfully, in her case, the contractions stopped and she’s at home now… and we could do a maternity shoot for her.  And I’m glad we could, because she is such a beautiful pregnant woman! And what a lovely couple!! I met up with her and Tsepo at their house in Ridgeway this morning for their shoot.

We started the shoot outside wandering around the complex, and then went inside for a studio shoot with my travelling studio kit.  She is so excited about this baby, and everytime I asked her to be serious and think about the baby, she would get this massive grin on her face! We ended the shoot with photos of the couple in their soccer t-shirts because they’re quite proud that he’s going to be born in the year of the Soccer World Cup!
