Lori contacted me a few weeks ago for a photoshoot. There was a proviso though. It had to be done by today… you see, her brother John is moving to South Korea tomorrow and the family wanted photos before he left.
Well, I met them at her parent’s place this morning, and we had quite a bit of fun trying to get Joe (her 3 year old son) to enjoy the experience, but the hard work paid off in the end… and here are some of the resulting photos
Love the Spiderman in the swing.
I love the fourth pic, soo precious!
oh my gosh! these are so beautiful jeanette!
Thank you so much!
I love the shot of dad throwing his boy up into the air. Such joy in his face.
Lovely set of keepsake photos ! Like the family one on the grass – also the ones with the brother and nephew – lovely to have a set of prints for him to take with him.
Once again some outstanding pictures! Sooner you go full-time pro the better!
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.

I love that shot of mom kissing baby!!
Gorgeous !! what gorgeous children !!
What a beautiful family Jacqui has! Photos are lovely!
Beautiful photographs.
Matt and Yolanda and their kids are moving to the UK tomorrow, and I went to Matt’s parent’s house to take family photos of the entire family this morning. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you would recognise the family from their maternity shoot, Owen’s newborn shoot and his baptism.
I had fun taking photos of the dogs too, while they were being given treats.
Hope the family has a good trip to the UK and they settle in quickly All the best guys!

Love the ones of the dogs
aaaaaw, beagle! <3
i can totally relate to that "beagle lip smacking" … mine are the same for treats! – tongue wraps halfway around that soft snout
Cool pictures as always. That beagle is a beauty.
Ah … lovely doggie pics!!!
Hope the doggies are also going with!
Lovely shots. I especially love the ones of the doggies.
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

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.
Stunning shots!
Absolutely beautiful!! What a lovely family!
Jeanette, your photo’s are so natural and relaxed, well done!
Louisa.

I had fun this morning! I met Paul, Gina and Aaron at the Emmerentia Rose Gardens this morning for their family photoshoot (You might recognise Paul’s face from the corporate shoot I did a few weeks ago). We’d planned this months ago, and everytime we set a date, someone got ill! Thankfully, everyone was in perfect health today, and we could go ahead. And I must say, I’m quite happy it was done this late in the year, because the autumn colours in the park were magnificent!
As you can see in the photos, it took a little while for Aaron to warm up to the photo idea, and to me; but once he chased a few hadedas, got to use his dad’s camera and threw a few hundred leaves in the air; he was the perfect little model
