Baby Cian is nearly 2 months old

How cute is he?  And how gorgeous are his eyes?

I met Clare and Cormack at their house earlier today to take photos of their gorgeous little boy Cian.  I just loved his big blue eyes, and all his cute facial expressions.

Great set of photo’s…..well done!!

Lori’s family at home

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:)

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!

My dad turned 60 today

It was my dad’s 60th birthday today and the family and some friends joined him at my parent’s home for an afternoon of food and fun to celebrate.  So, actually, this was my 67 minutes… because the family hardly ever gets together like this.  I’ll do a charitable 67 minutes another day;)


My brother Carl (of the medical poetry fame) taking his nut very seriously:)

Terry who is visiting from Columbia at the moment

Bacon wrapped cherries braaiing on my dad’s new Weber

… and my dad’s cousin Dave and his wife (who live in Zimbabwe)

This was too funny, she would shut her eyes every time the ball came close to her

Because Terry was around, my mom had to make her famous chocolate eclairs for dessert:)

Connor was the “Bafama Bafama” goalie for the day


Connor was trying to work out the numbers, and eventually decided that dad was 16!! He was delighted:)

It was an awesome day with my family:)

Happy 60th Birthday Dad!

Great pictures. It sure looks like a fun time was had by all.

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.

Beautiful photographs.

168/365 – Fathers Day lunch at Mo-Zam-Bik

Elaine (my sister) organised a lunch for all the dads in the family at Mo-Zam-Bik today.  Mo-Zam-Bik is a new Mozambican restaurant that’s opened up in Randpark Ridge in the Trinity Centre, and it was PACKED!!

I really like the look of the place, and think it’ll do very well in the area.  There’s a restaurant area with loads of seating inside and on a balcony area, and there’s a cosy bar area with leather couches… and LOADS of TV’s to keep up to date with the latest sport… which today was World Cup soccer of course!  Oooh and there’s a kids area… which was a definite win… the only downfall was that the kids menu only had 4 items on it… but hey the food was good.

The hits from the menu from our table were definitely the Laurentina beer (imported from Mozambique), the starter platter that we made up from the starter menu (the chourico sausage, chicken livers, coconut flavoured rice and rissoles filled with prawns and chicken were just sublime) and prawns (I had them with a creamy beer sauce).  The only complaints around the table was that the peri-peri chicken was too mild, and the chicken prego was tasteless.  Ooh and the desserts… I had creme caramel which was just amazing, and a few people had the rissoles filled with bar-one chocolate served with ice-cream and chocolate sauce… YUMMO!!

As for the service, it was fabulous!  Enock (our waiter) even went to call the kids for us when their ice cream arrived!  The tables were covered in this brown paper, which Enock used to write his name:)  loved that touch!

So all in all it was a fantastic lunch, and we’ll definitely be going back there!
