TORONTO ENAGEMENT

---

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 ;)

I kiss you and on your lips I taste the sea, and the sea has always been home to me.

NICHOLAS & SARAH

When you kiss me heaven sighs and though I close my eyes, I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom and when you speak
Angels sing from above. Everyday words seems to turn into love song.

~ Louis Armstrong

ERWIN & NADI

I wish I could explain your eyes, and how the sound of your voice gives me butterflies. How your smile makes my heart skip a beat and how every time I'm with you, I feel so complete. ~ Unknown

She was a beautiful dream I had been searching for. The one to wake me up. ~ Atticus

NINA | DUBAI

A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot and realize how blessed you are.

---

Nina booked me for her personal portrait session while I was visiting Dubai. Portrait sessions are so important, we often forget to take note of our lives at a certain point of our lives, we either feel it is silly or we are scared that people would think we love ourselves too much, but we should always love ourselves and be proud of who we are, in this moment, right now, at this stage of our lives. Nina, you are absolutely beautiful, inside and out. I had a smile on my face throughout editing this session. I hope to see you again soon and so happy that I have made a new friend. 

I will be hopefully be in Dubai again soon, so if you are interested in a session (portrait, family, wedding etc), please give me a shout here.

Film & Digital | Black Dress Silver Swallow

SILVER SWALLOW LOVE

It is wonderful to blog this shoot, it was shot in early February, with my favourite camera, my Contax 645 film camera #nodigital. After my workshop I decided that I had to shoot something for me, something good & simple. This shoot was inspired by things I found around my house and with people who I create with often. Thank you to Jana, Jolindi & Leandri for all your help on this shoot!

Preparing for this shoot was so joyous and pleasing for the soul - collaborating with my cousin Beat (hair), Chrystalace, Silver Swallow, Missy Make up Artist and my wonderful assistant & model for the day Leandri, her husband Riaan, Biance and her two adorable Schnauzers, Ollie & Pepper also did some modelling for me, big thank you to all of you.

Loved photographing this beautiful couple on the stunning Island of Waiheke, New Zealand. It was a cold windy morning in May, but it was such a great relaxing day.
