237/365 – My mom

My mom graciously let me take her photos today… my sister was my first target but she was in a bad mood because of her car that had come back from the panelbeaters… so my mom saved the day.  I never actually get to take photos of her on her own… she is convinced that she isn’t photogenic, and was telling me that over and over again while I took the photos… ja right! Once she stopped laughing at me, I think I got the shots I was wanting:)

I have never met your mom, but “know” her from her blog and Facebook. She is stunning person. I also know the feeling of not really liking to have photos taken of me… :-)

Beautiful…. really beautiful – your mom that is! Love the photos too

223/365 – Portrait of a Beauty

Beauty is my godsend at home.  She looks after my home when we’re not there, and at the moment, also the kids.  And always with a smile on her face.

Beauty is the same age as me, and has 2 grown up boys… and is the matriach of her family and looks after her sisters and their kids too.

She’s worked for us for 3 years, and I’ve never taken a photo of her before.  She laughed when I asked her, because she didn’t have make-up on and she wasn’t happy about what she was wearing.  But Beauty’s beautiful… and I told her that too!!

After we were done with the few photos and I showed them to her, she told me that I made her “feel like a real woman”.  Love it! In fact, she now wants to do it again… but next time she said she’ll get dressed properly and put on makeup:)now that’s going to be fun!

[...] someone loves something I’ve done.  Like this morning, when Beauty got her prints, and she had tears in her eyes and told me “that you know just how to shape me, [...]

222/365 – Bradley

Bradley didn’t want to take the dogs walking in the park.  So we bartered… or you can call it a bribe;)… and I got my photo for the day… and we walked the dogs around the block instead.  I was happy, Bradley was happy, dogs were ecstatic!

Oh he is so charming!

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.

Enjoy! It’s a great toy to play with and so difficult to explain to non-photographers how exciting it is to get a new toy like this!
