Winter days in Johannesburg can be so magical.
Winter days in Johannesburg can be so magical. This engagement session was captured one warm winter afternoon at Shepstone Gardens in Johannesburg. It was wonderful having this couple in front of my lens and I look forward to the day I get to photograph their wedding!

SWEET COUPLE HOME LIFESTYLE SHOOT
Sweet family lifestyle session at home.
Your Home and Life captured
With so much uncertainty out there it feels kind of silly blogging, but being confined to your home is no easy task, and in the end keeping yourself busy, keeps your mind off doomsday thoughts. So here is a little distraction to hopefully make your home quarantine a little easier. This is the ideal time to practice Slow Living so please be safe and stay home, go out for necessity only. Keep yourself busy with things you have been wanting to do around the house, check out this pin board of things to do with your kids, read a book or cuddle with your furries!
About 8 weeks ago I did this shoot and it was so amazing being part of Melissa & Antonie’s adventure for the past 3 years. These two have expanded their family with two beautiful fur babies, Lexi and Lana (Shetland Sheepdogs). They are so sweet and cute it just makes me want to hug them!

NELSPRUIT ENGAGEMENT SESSION
I am so honoured to be able to photograph Hilma and Inge’s journey, starting with their engagement session, photographed in Nelspruit, at a wildlife reserve with a lucky couple of shots with the zebra’s roaming in the area. I also got to photograph Hilma’s two sweet Wirehaired Fox Terriers with the cutest little bowties. Their wedding day will follow in July by the sea. So much to look forward too.
If you have been following my blog, you will know I have a very big family whom I get to photograph very often. Here is Inge and Hilma’s engagement session. Inge is Anje’s sister and my fathers’ cousins’ daughter (my cousin twice removed?). Not sure what we call each other in english terms but we are family!

PARIS COUPLE PORTRAITS
Anje & Pieter in Paris, you might remember them from their safari wedding in Africa, but these two have been living in Paris for the last year and on a previous visit I got a chance to do a short mini session with them. We woke up early to get a couple of portraits of them at the Eiffel and then went on to the Louvre Gardens. Hope you enjoyed your year of Paris! xoxo

PARIS COUPLE SHOOT
Lovely Couple shoot in Paris!
Melissa & Antonie are no strangers to my lens and it was great meeting up with them during my visit to Europe in September. It was probably one of the best days, we woke up really early to start shooting their couple session and afterward, Melissa and I, gallivanted across Paris. We went to the Louvre and Le Petit Palais for their shoot.
SOUTH AFRICAN ELEPHANT SAFARI | COUPLE SHOOT
Greg Finck & Rime Arodaky on their wild adventure with the beautiful gentle giants. What an amazing African experience.
'Oh Africa, you have my Heart!' ~ Me
I had an amazing weekend with this beautiful couple, Greg & Rime from France. Greg Finck is one of my favourite photographers and I have been following his work for a couple of years. Rime Arodaky, who's work I saw through Greg, is a very talented wedding dress designer (SA, you want her dresses here in SA - lets get her to come open up a showroom here)! We finally met in March and I can honestly say Greg & Rime are such an amazing couple, down to earth and just warm people. They came to South Africa to relax and see a bit of our beautiful country.
For their couple session we got to photograph them experiencing these gentle giants from Adventures with Elephants. These beautiful animals have been rescued after being called 'problem' elephants, but are living a peaceful life here at Adventures', and they are definitely not problem animals. Please go and visit their website or even their reserve to educate yourself on how lovely these giants are.
CHICAGO COUPLE SESSION
Bridget & Peter posed for one of the days for my 3-day-mentorship with Jacqueline Joan.
Bridget & Peter was in front of my lens while I was giving a 3 day mentorship in Chicago. I absolutely adore this session; beautiful couple, the fashion, the coolness of it and of course this gorgeous space.
mostly shot on film

I hope you don't mind, that I put down in words, how wonderful life is now, that you are in my world. ~ Elton John
I had the privilege of photographing Graham & Ly's engagement session in their neighborhood in Toronto, Canada. This shoot was urban bliss and it was fantastic sharing the day with these two - I definitely have to go back to Canada again soon! Next time maybe when it is a bit warmer ;)
