Hi Jenty, great pics, third last one is my favourite, nice mood.

I only ever did preggie pics of my wife when she was pregnant with our children. I read somewhere it is best to do these pics in stages with the seven month period the best for pics.

Anyway, my pics are stashed somewhere, on discs under the bed, I think, but here is one shot I like when my wife was pregnant with my now 18 month old girl Leila, damn time flies.

regards

Looking up

Posted in Tweens and Teens Tags: client, fun, portrait, ruin, teens

These photos show a little bit of the fun we had on the shoot on Sunday morning with Angel et al. It didn’t take very long for Damien to figure out how to climb on top of the walls of the old ruin. As you can see the house has NO roof at all, and loads of trees growing in the middle of it. While I was taking photos of the other 2 boys, Damien took to climbing up… and every now and then I’d catch a glimpse of him and take a few shots.

I met him in December, he is so cool. Nice shots!

Kathy - November 19, 2009 - 11:36 am

Jeanette these are fantastic!! I got quite emotional when I saw them. Damien is gorgeous!!!! You definately have an eye to photograph people. Well done.

Avril (Mom) (385 comments.) - November 19, 2009 - 9:54 am

Very special! Captured as a parent would see, not normally photograph. Moments like this are usually in our memory bank which eventually fade as time goes by – triggered sometimes .. but usually forgotten. These are for keeps.

Angel (192 comments.) - November 19, 2009 - 7:29 am

Oh Jeanette! This is my boy!
And he’d had his meds that day too…

angie (2 comments.) - November 19, 2009 - 7:05 am

These shots are phenomenal…..love the action and clarity!

Meriel - November 19, 2009 - 4:31 am

they are a special gift for a mum. i bet Angel is loving it.

Night Owl mama (1 comments.) - November 19, 2009 - 12:18 am

I think those are wonderful photo’s I especially like the first and second one.

Brenda (1 comments.) - November 18, 2009 - 11:03 pm

Wenchy (11 comments.) - November 18, 2009 - 10:11 pm

I need one of these done. I am always taking the pics, would be nice to see how others see us.

I love you, gentle soul of a friend. x

The Angel, the Glugster and the Knucklehead

Posted in Couples, Families, Tweens and Teens Tags: client, family, portrait, ruin, teens

Angel’s blog was the first local blog that I started reading when I started blogging 3 years ago, and I’ve been an avid follower of her blog, as well as her profiles on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr, ever since. I’ve been honoured to get asked by her and Neels (Glugster) to take their wedding photos next year, and I was equally thrilled when they asked me to take family photos for them too!

We met in Honeydew at my favourite ruin and Damien had a ball exploring the place and dreaming up parties and camp outs with his friends to decorate the place with more graffiti. I really wouldn’t mind actually, the place could do with more colour LOL! And imagine the photos I could take there then!

We did make new engravings on the walls though, when we saw that the LOVE wall was in the sun… and I needed shade for the best light

Love between them

Love is in the air

Stef and her boys

Posted in Families, Tweens and Teens Tags: client, family, portrait, ruin, teens, tweens

Stef is a blogger, not that she’s blogged in a while which is SUCH a pity, and I was so thrilled when Angel asked me to take photos of Stef and her boys as a Christmas present to her friend. I met both families in Honeydew for their double photoshoot, and hopefully they enjoyed it as much as I did… and they like the sneak peak

I’ve decided now, that I really enjoy taking photos of teens… just love the moodiness I can inject into the photos.
