Family memories at Kirstenbosch

August 23, 2018 Family

A family is the greatest gift on earth. It does not matter where you move to or how far away you are, family will always remain with you. As Michael J Fox states… Family is not the most important thing, it is everything I had a wonderful afternoon (albeit a bit chilly) capturing this gorgeous family amongst the snowdrop flowers, bare and naked old trees and vibrant camellias near Kirstenbosch. It warms my soul seeing families who are so close and treasure all members no matter how big or small. What a treat to capture all of you together....

Little Faith in Bokaap

September 12, 2017 Family

Little Faith in Bokaap with her incredible parents. Faith is a bundle of sunshine at 18 months young. She is chatting away and walking/ running everywhere. One Saturday morning we spent time in the Bokaap area of Cape Town taking some casual family photos of this gorgeous family of three with multi-coloured backgrounds. Faith is the apple of their eye and a little girl who knows what she wants (even if that is the box of bran flakes that you may see featured in some pics). I love the colour of Bokaap and the quaint houses with some modern design elements. It was such a fun Saturday out. Faith you...

Annapatat Spring Range

September 8, 2017 Family

Anneke from Annapatat designs and makes the most wonderful collection of little girls clothing. The beautiful fabrics and patterns create timeless elegance while still keeping some childhood whimsical fun for the little girls to enjoy while wearing Annapatats little masterpieces. Annapatat Spring Range this year includes a light powder outfit inspired by the movie Frozen. The soft layered skirt with polka dots pairs with a sleeveless tshirt. I adore this little set and think it is a beautiful little outfit fit for a princess. I love this little swan (which is almost as big as her) from LoLaLi...

ANNAPATAT CLOTHING

April 11, 2017 Family

I first met Anneka at Kamers in JHB. Her beautiful clothing for little ones grabbed my attention while I was walking around capturing the market. Since then Anneka has continued to inspire me with her clothing range called Annapatat. Annapatat clothing has always exuded style and beauty while still making the items comfortable for children to wear. These are her latest offerings for winter. I wish she made adult sizes 😉 I would love to buy them all. Order yours here today....

KOMMETJIE FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT

January 9, 2017 Family

Kommetjie is a beautiful little part of Cape Town/ Western Cape where the dress code is shorts and slops. Where the sunlight seems softer and the ocean bluer. It is such an exquisite area – it is here that I met Amanda and her wonderful family who were spending quality time together over the festive season. The family had traveled from all across the world to be together. We spent a lovely afternoon on the beach capturing special moments together. ...

MCCREEDY FAMILY | FOREST

November 29, 2016 Family

The McCreedy family are the closest, kindest family you will ever meet. Even though I now live in Cape Town we managed to make a plan to do a shoot on one of my trips to JHB. We had so much fun in the Bryanston Forest. All the siblings were amazing and even with the impending summer thunderstorm they brought sunshine to every photo. FAMILY, WHERE LIFE BEGINS & LOVE NEVER ENDS...

LITTLE BEN

November 15, 2016 Baby/Newborn, Family

Do you remember that beautiful nautical themed wedding I photographed a while back? Abby and Dean are the most wonderful couple and in February they welcome their perfect little boy Benjamin into the world. This kid is gorgeous in every single way. Abs and Dean thank you for letting me capture your special family!...

Family – De Vaal | Llandudno

April 14, 2016 Family

Photographing other photographers is always scary – luckily Lerika is the most wonderful person and has the most gorgeous family. Those little boys melt your heart and are super goodlooking (photographers dream). Even though they came to Cape Town in Summer the weather on the day we did the shoot was horrid – VERY cold and VERY windy. Thanks my friend for being so wonderful – never stop. You and your family are incredible....

Family – Ethel Grey Park | Illovo

November 25, 2015 Family

It was a very hot summers day when I met this wonderful family at Ethel Grey Park in Illovo. Despite the heat and intense sunshine we had the most photoshoot – singing and clapping and dancing. What better way than spending a Saturday than with this beautiful family 🙂...

Family – Baby Daniel | Moderfontein Nature Reserve

November 3, 2015 Baby/Newborn, Family

In September, I had the great privilege of working with a wonderful company on a large Food Shoot. On this shoot, I met the wonderful Carli. She was such a delight to work with and we chatted non-stop about everything but especially her first born Daniel. Little Daniel is their handsome little son and what’s cuter than this handsome smiling little boy – he is such a treasure. We organised the shoot at the Moderfontein Nature Reserve early one Saturday morning – it was a glorious summers day and the location is idyllic. Daniel is pure joy he smiles and brings happiness wherever he goes – what a blessing, how...

Newborn – Baby Mila | Rivonia

July 30, 2015 Baby/Newborn, Family

Baby Mila is the sweetest little Cherub – a tiny little angel. Through the whole shoot, she never cried or got upset with me nor the dogs nor mom and dad. She is such a blessing. Thank you Holly for letting me capture your beautiful daughter....

Family – Baby Samuel | Pretoria

June 30, 2015 Baby/Newborn, Family

On Saturday morning we drove out to Pretoria to capture a very special family who were all together. Kelly, Allen and baby Samuel had come out from Dubai and were staying with their amazing family in Pretoria. Unfortunately on Saturday it was one of the coldest days Gauteng had experienced in a while – not ideal for little Sam coming from a Dubai summer (which includes 46 degree heat) Even though it was a miserable day – we braved the cold for a little bit at the tranquil dam in the complex and then hurried back home to the warmth of the house. Little Samuel you are too precious and...

Event – Tashmika Naming Ceremony

May 19, 2015 Event, Family

I met these lovely parents when I did their maternity photoshoot in the forest and I was so excited to meet this beautiful baby girl. I was asked to capture a special ceremony where they reveal the name of their daughter and bless her. No one knew her name until this event – it was a wonderful gathering of family and friends who came together to bless this gorgeous princess. Her name was revealed – Tashmika. It is a beautiful name and Larissa and Mooshen your little girl is too beautiful. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of this special occasion....

Family – The Twins | Lonehill

March 10, 2015 Baby/Newborn, Family

These little boys hold a piece of my heart, they are so gorgeous. I had the opportunity photographing them when they were still tiny, a few months ago – have a look here to see the photos. Little ones are always so precious and they change so quickly that it is an honour to be able to capture these cutie pies again. They have grown up so much and are now sitting on their own and developing their own little personalities. Having two baby’s is never easy and I take my hat off to these two amazing parents. I cannot wait to see them grow up....

Family – Shultz | Craigavon

March 5, 2015 Baby/Newborn, Family

You may recognise this lovely family from previous posts. It is always such a blessing to be able to capture little ones and families growing up together. It is a wonderful way of documenting life is through memories and images. Luke and Reese are growing up so quickly and it always pure joy being able to see them so often 🙂 Capturing memories in your home is a wonderful way of showcasing a little bit of daily life....
