232/365 – Just a girl

Carmen and Andrew spent the day at our house today… and I just had to take a few photos of Carmen before Madelein went took them home this evening.  She’s a beautiful child, and my camera just loves her:)  She’s also all of a sudden looking a little bit more grown up, than the last time I took photos of her.

Absolutely gorgeous pics – yes, your camera loves her!

P.S. The person I need to check the date change for our shoot is off as her mom died…

She is indeed a beauty.

I love the second photo of her.
She really is such a pretty little girl ~ Madi must be so proud!

She is a stunning little girl .. and she is growing up! Her tousled hair is just so part of her.

The Meyersfeld family at home

You might recognise Jamie from photos I took earlier on in the year, but you definitely won’t recognise Benjamin! The last time I took photos of the family was when  Benjamin was a few weeks old… and look how cute he is now!

Jacqui contacted me a few weeks ago, and asked me to come to their new home to take some natural photos of the family.  Their house was perfect for the shoot and included the most divine garden so perfect for kids with all sorts of secret pathways and hideyholes… the boys are going to have a ball growing up in the house!  In fact, I’ve now got so many ideas for my garden… and I LOVED that she actually had some flowers blooming in this freezing weather!


He was so very proud of the scrapbooks that his mom had put together. Every trip the family have been on, are documented in scrapbooks.

Benjamin was so very chatty and smiley:)


I took this photo just so that they could compare to a similar photo taken at Benjamin’s newborn shoot.

189/365 – Lost Interest

I haven’t lost interest… even though I didn’t take this photo today (no time)… it’s one of my favourites from the wedding on Saturday.  I just thought that the title was apt for this photo

137/365 – My little boy

The light was perfect this afternoon when I took this photo of Connor.  I just love it! But my heart skips a little beat when I look at it, because it makes me a little sad, and I just want to give him a huge hug!!

The photo also makes me realise that he’s not so little anymore.  I think this is the first photo I’ve taken of him that’s made me feel this way.  My baby is gone, and now he’s a boy.

This is a gem! Just tugs at your heart. Beautiful.

Lauren (9 comments.) - May 19, 2010 - 5:37 pm

Ah, bless. He’s so sweet. x

Gilz (177 comments.) - May 19, 2010 - 4:01 pm

He looks so forlorn!

Claire - May 19, 2010 - 7:53 am

That is a lovely photo Jen, and I know that emotion you are feeling, I think its because we remember just how fragile they were.

Girish (78 comments.) - May 19, 2010 - 6:22 am

Great thought and feeling behind this.

Wonderful shot.

Corey~ living and loving (210 comments.) - May 19, 2010 - 12:20 am

ooo yes….a very moody shot. ♥

Hi Jeanette! Thanks for your comment on my blog. I was pleasantly surprised to see you are in Johannesburg. My sister lives in Midrand and I spent three weeks with her in February!

Jim Sefton (10 comments.) - May 18, 2010 - 9:06 pm

Very cool pic. Know what you mean, but at least you have more pics of your little boy than 99% of other Mum’s :)

Byron Rode (3 comments.) - May 18, 2010 - 9:03 pm

WOW! I love this photo so much. The depth of field makes him stand out.
Jenty, do you walk around with your camera ALL the time ;)

Burgh Baby (5 comments.) - May 18, 2010 - 8:50 pm

It’s a gorgeous photo, even if he is all grown-up in it.

The Burger Family

I met up with Leigh-Ann and Barend and their 3 kids this afternoon, at the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens.  I had initially thought that this shoot would be postponed for a while, because Leigh-Ann has just opened up a new shop in the Gourmet Market at Lifestyle, selling her natural body products, Tranquil Body Treats… but it turns out that her mom looked after the new shop while they had fun with me in the park:)

After spending a few hours this afternoon with them, I take my hat off to them… 2 little kids with such a small age gap is hectic, Abigail is 15 months old and Logan is 5 months old!  The girls are very cute, make no mistake, but wow what hard work!  And as for Joshua, who at 8, is an awesome big brother who loved the attention and, I think, really enjoyed being asked to pull funny faces and go down little hidden pathways; and was always willing to carry Logan so I could get one or two shots with mom or dad.


And lastly, the faces of Joshua;)

Barend (1 comments.) - May 20, 2010 - 3:08 pm

Working with you has been the most enjoyable experience I’ve had with any photographer. You knew how to handle the kids and could improvise and adapt based on what happened, something a lot of photographers can’t/won’t do. These shots are absolutely awesome.

Bruce (1 comments.) - May 19, 2010 - 12:21 pm

Stunning shots!

Louisa Bernard - May 18, 2010 - 8:02 am

myphotographer (2 comments.) - May 17, 2010 - 8:09 am

Hi Jenty, I love 9th from the bottom, the portrait pic of the little baby girl in pink, but all good, and I agree that the last shot is totally boy ;-)

Madelein (32 comments.) - May 17, 2010 - 7:42 am
