I was so excited when I received an email from Caroline, about two weeks ago. They were visiting South Africa for two months, and decided on a last minute photo shoot in KZN before they head off to the UK again. I did a family shoot for this beautiful family in 2015 and its always such a blessing to receive returning clients. Those of us living in the KZN Midlands would know it was absolutely pouring with rain the last two weeks and last Sunday was the only time available to help them before they flew back. We were so blessed with awesome weather and some epic sceneries in this place I am privileged to call home.
Putting in a few hours to edit these images was honestly such a joy, seeing so much love and just realising how special and important family is. To the Welsh and Butt family, thank you so much for making me part of this memorable moment and season in your lives. You guys are amazing and I speak God's perfect love and peace over you and your family. It was so easy to take pictures of you guys and thanks for being awesome clients. Hope to see you guys again whenever you come for a visit. Many love and blessings.

One of the many things I absolutely love about photography, is when you are in a situation to capture emotions where there is no posing, or even guidelines necessary, raw natural moments. Marce, asked me to do a very special photo shoot while she was waiting for Gideon to return from a three week work trip from Australia.
While Gideon was away she found out that she's expecting a baby. Instead of telling him over the phone, she decided to capture the moment and do a pregnancy reveal shoot. Not knowing how Gideon would react, I must admit I was a bit nervous. Marce, being the absolute beautiful, gentle person she is, definitely made the wait worth it, knowing her hubby and making it a very unique announcement. As seen on the photos, Gideon was shocked, emotional and just so overwhelmed by the good news. It was so special to be part of this moment and its definitely one of those photo shoots that I will always remember. I would just like to once again congratulate the Lubbe family. New life is awesome and we speak life and blessing over you guys in this very special season. Thank you so much for putting me in your trust and giving me the opportunity to photograph this beautiful moment. May God bless you and guide you always. Love the van Eedens Moving to Howick has certainly allowed us to meet awesome people. The Armstrong family is definitely on the list. Not only are they passionate about life and family but they are also people who will inspire you to think out of the box. The word 'entrepreneur' is just one of the many words that pop up when I think about them, as they are constantly tackling new ideas and concepts.
The latest addition to this beautiful family was added on the 5th of August 2017. Healthy and beautiful baby Nathan was born. It was such a blessing and honour to be able to take some pictures of this strong and healthy boy with his family. Nathan, we welcome and celebrate you into this world. May you always be rooted in God's faithfulness and love. Dale and Stacey, thank you for allowing me to share a little bit of this new and exciting season in your lives. You guys are a blessing and inspiration to many. Hope you guys enjoy these! I will never forget the first day we walked into our house after our son was born. That feeling of contentment, joy and overwhelming of the unknown that has become known. Holding your own child for the first time is definitely not something to be taken for granted and also such a honour and a feeling I can't really put into words. We took some time out to capture the essence of joy filling a house in the Hoffman family as they welcomed Jean-Luc into their lives.
Drikus and Leanne, you guys are such a blessing and inspiration to many, we know Jean-Luc is one lucky boy having you guys around him to love and nurture. May this season be full of abundance and peace. Jean-Luc is beautiful and I'm pretty sure that he will grow up to be a warrior and ambassador for Christ just like his parents. Thank you for allowing me to take pictures of this special season in your lives. Hope you guys enjoy these! I met Caroline a few years ago in Paarl, while we were still unmarried and young working ladies. She moved to the UK a time after that and we were only friends on FB ever since, not really being in contact. Time surely passed as both of us are married now, have a son and loving it. A few weeks ago I got a surprise message from her saying she would love for me to do a photoshoot for her hubby, their beautiful little boy, herself and her lovely parents. Her parents live in Hilton, so everything worked out perfectly on this cloudy day in the midlands. Caroline, thank you so much for allowing me to do your shoot, I really enjoyed spending time with your awesome hubby, son and parents. Hope you guys enjoy these!
Doing a family shoot for the Viljoens was really special, since they are also part of our own family. Wynand Viljoen is the brother of Michelle and we were having a great time in Stilbaai with our parents during easter weekend, so decided to do a mini photo session the Saturday afternoon. The Viljoens are really a special family and people who follow Jesus whole heartedly with passion. Zoe is now 2 years and almost 6 months and Emma, the youngest almost reaching 7 months. Wynand recently started his own law firm in Stellenbosch - Smit & Viljoen Attorneys, while Elzbe is a stay at home mom and a renown blogger, I'm sure you will hear more of her in the future. We are also really blessed with awesome parents and grand parents, so decided to make them part of our fun shoot so you can meet the family. This was our first official shoot with the new kit, so let us know what you think. Enjoy the pics! Thanks to Petrus van Eeden once again for helping with the shoot and editing work.
