I’m busy finishing off the editing of Moeletsi’s photoshoot from a few weeks ago, and I’ve fallen in love with the emotion in this image…

Lineo and Tumi got a voucher for a lifestyle shoot with me from Lineo’s colleagues as a gift at the end of her pregnancy.  After a bit of a shambles on my part, I finally got to their house in Pretoria today for their photoshoot.  Little Moeletsi is such a little cutie!!

I loved that he’s still got his newborn skin that’s still flaking on his body he’s such a new little soul.

I went to Jacqui and Stuart’s house in Bryanston today to take photos of Oliver.  Oliver is 4 weeks old and is Rhys’ baby brother.  I took photos of Rhys when he was 9 weeks old last year May, and I’m thrilled that I got to take his brother’s baby photos too

Oliver was a breeze, and because he was very awake and not exactly new newborn anymore, I didn’t even try with the curled up photos… which made it a much more relaxed shoot for everyone.  It was a challenge to get Rhys to play along with what we wanted to do, but I like what we got  because in the end we went with what Rhys was comfortable with, and that makes for much more natural photos.

Rhys was much more interested in what was going on outside at this point…

Rhys was playing under the pillows while I was busy with Oliver… I couldn’t resist taking a few photos of him

I met Jack this afternoon, and OMW he’s cute, and I even got a little smile out of him! He’s the brand new addition to the Browne family, who you may recognise from their maternity shoot a few months ago. I went to their house in Sundowner for a lifestyle shoot this afternoon (this is much more my style than the studio versions of home baby shoots that I used to do…. and it’s a lot more relaxed for the families too)

Just as we got outside, I spotted their siamese cat… and she just sat just in front of Lee-Anne and regally posed… so of course I had to include her, I love the second image with her as the older baby  ;)

Don’t you love his Superhero little onesie?

… and this plane was used as a prop in their maternity shoot

Denton and his family were one of the first families that I took photos of almost 3 years ago.  It was awesome seeing them again this afternoon.  We even used the same venue… their house and a nearby park… and I tried to make sure that the photos weren’t the same as the last time… which wasn’t that difficult considering my style has developed since then.  This time there’s also a new addition to the family.  Their youngest daughter is 7 months old… and so cute!!

It was actually so much fun doing a family shoot where the ages of the kids were so varied, and I had a baby, a child, a tween and a teen … so I got to do baby photos as well as more funky photos to get the best out of the older girls

They’re going to be relocating soon, so I know that I won’t be using the same location for their next shoot… they’ll just have to fly me to where they’ll be living and do a shoot on the beach at sunrise.
