Adina had her Batmitzvah last night at the Capri Hotel in Savoy, Johannesburg; and it was quite a bash! Her mom booked me for this evening months ago, and in the build-up to it, I also did a portrait session with her and her family and produced a photobook which was used as a guest...

Bradley got invited to Ciara and Erin’s swimming party today, and the kids had a ball swimming… they haven’t been able to do that in ages.

It is a truly lovely venue! Down at the river is some great areas to, but maybe a bit far for a walk.
Great photos, Jeanette.
Love some of the photographs of the kid. The flower one is very nice as well.
Hurray to your son for being a sport and running around with you . One day he will be able to pull that tree all by himself 
Jealous of the short sleeves! Am wishing that my boys could go out and explore without snow suits and coats on! Counting down the days for warmer weather!
All Beautiful shots!

I love the name “Toadbury Hall.” What a great place for a wedding.

It’s now Boxing Day, and already Christmas is just a memory, but one which I’ve captured with my camera, so the moments are preserved forever.
We spent most of the time at my mom’s house. Christmas Eve was our main dinner at my moms house with my brother and his family too, as my brother was...

I especially love the one with Bradley in the silly glasses in front of the tree.
loved these shots. the eyes on Bradley. WOW! WOW! also fun to see that the wrapping paper shows cold weather scenes. I asked you awhile back if the decorations for Christmas down there are based on snow and stuff, and I missed the answer…duh….
The mustache picture kills me!! lol.. what a great set of photographs!
Wonderful photographs. What a fun filled atmosphere.
Personally, being from Mumbai. India, rains and summer are the only seasons we know. So I wonder I would like snow or no.
