Nico and Victoire know me from Twitter, and contacted me a few weeks ago to book their maternity shoot. We only finally decided on a location earlier this week, and thankfully the weather was perfect for our afternoon at the Johannesburg Zoo. We could not have postponed it because Victoire is due in 3 weeks time!
They wanted a fun photoshoot at the zoo, partly because the theme in their baby son’s bedroom is animals. It was such an awesome location actually, and I was thrilled when the giraffes played along with my plan







We couldn’t resist using this sign that we found lying on the pathway



Don’t you just love this photo? Looks like the giraffe is bringing gifts for the baby


A bump? In the road? It’s symmetry!







I had a ball with this awesomely fun couple, and I wish them all the best for the birth. You’ll be seeing more of them in a few weeks… when their baby is born
