I posted photos from the Staal family shoot a few days ago and the last set of photos was all about their snakes and bearded dragons. I have felt though, that I didn’t do them enough justice, and you DEFINITELY couldn’t see how big the snake was that was snaking it’s way up my leg!
So,...
A braver person than i’d ever be. Fab images
Fab photo’s. My son has a pet snake and overtime I’ve become quite use to buying it a fuzzy / pinky BUT I do not feed him and very, very seldom hold him. Hubby wants to get a bearded dragon but they give me the creeps.
I have said to the hubster that my kinds can have all sorts of pets, but not reptiles. Although the dragon is attractive we have silkworm pets!
You’re very brave to have been that close to those creatures! Some lovely shots.
OMG! It’s times like these I am glad I don’t have a son! LOL! I wonder if I could have handled it?
Lovely photo’s but you got to be kiddin me!! Snakes ALIVE!!!!
Wow, those kids are so brave as well as you!
Jeanette you are very brave!! These are very good photos, although I’m hoping the close up of the evil one with its tongue out was taken with a zoom lens at max zoom! I have now added to my list of questions to ask a potential client if they will be wanting any photos with their pets. If those pets are reptiles I will give them your no!
Me too, Kathy, I would not have been able to take a steady photo!!! OMW .. they’re huge!!! Oh yes .. no snakes pleeease … bearded dragon maybe although don’t let it come ‘to play’ .. Jackie and large ‘lizard’ ? I don’t think so!
magnificent pics – but oooh such creepy reptiles
Great photos!!! I would have dropped my camera and headed for the hills if that snake slithered up my leg!!! You are very brave..
There’s something so beautiful about reptiles. As long as I know a snake can’t or won’t hurt me, I like it! And the bearded dragons are adorable! Aww.
When Michelle phoned me in August and booked their family photos, she asked me right at the very end of the conversation whether I minded taking photos of them with their pet snakes as well. Now, I’m not afraid of snakes, but it has made me look forward to this photo session since that day.
And...

Wow, what an impressive collection of animals! Love the close-ups of their faces, beautiful!
Its a fabulous shoot! I love the ones on the swing!
What a wonderful family shoot! That must have been fun with all the animals. And how nice they had a piggy in the city too. I know people around where I live that have some wonderful pot belly pigs for pets. 
I think these are amazing Jeanette! I’m sure the Staal family are going to be over the moon with their pics…you have some stunning shots. Well done
Wow, your photo’s are awesome. Will definitely keep you in mind for our next family photo’s – early next year
What beautiful children! These are lovely Jeanette!
I would have wee-ed in my panties! I am so afraid of snakes!
These pictures are absolutely beautiful. You really are value for money.

LOVE the cheek kiss, and the close ups of the kiddies and of the “creatures”. Absolutely fabulous!
Wow, those are all so cute, nothing like getting the WHOLE family!!

Very interesting home with a menagerie of pets!!! … especially the snake up your leg!!! Would have made my skin crawl!!! Remember Bradley was exposed to snakes and lizards with Teacher Ch when he was little – does he still remember?

The kids and I were invited to a party on Sunday morning at Farmyard Frendz close to Northgate. Another photographer did the main photos for the party, so I just had some fun with the camera and took photos of my kids and the animals. We’ve never been to a party there, and I was...

you make everything look nicer.
i like seeing through world through your lens.
Beautiful!
Connor looks remarkably comfortable on that horse too! You might still have a rider on your hands! Those cupcakes look stunning – did they taste as good as they looked?
Holy smoke, Check those cupcakes.
Amazing cupcakes!!! Looks like a fun place! Great photos of the emus!! I see a smile on Bradley’s face riding the horse – he was doing so well with his riding – such a pity he stopped. He may take it up again when he’s older like Elaine did.
AMazing place. and those cupcakes. WOW! I wonder how much stuff like that costs. So much work goes into them.
ps…I say, “WOW” all too often, too. tee hee
Those cupcakes are spectacular!!
Gorgeous!
And those cupcakes look divine!
Fiona organised a “surprise” lunch for Sue’s birthday, that didn’t end up being much of a surprise as it seems quite a few people gave it away… but we had a good time this afternoon at Tres Jolie anyway
The restaurant was a lovely place to take the kids. The service could have been better, in...
