Alana - Maternity Shoot


I had the pleasure of photographing Charl & Alana's wedding in 2011, and it is always great when a couple calls me up to share the exciting news of pregnancy, and even more so when they ask me to take some photographs of the growing bump!

Alana and I had some difficulty coordinating our diaries, when she gave me a call one friday a couple of weeks before her due date and informed me that little Mignon will be born the following Monday - Doctor's orders! So we decided to literally do the shoot the Sunday afternoon, a mere day before their little bundle of joy entered the world!





Renate - Maternity Shoot


Renate is my sister-in-law, so to photograph her is easy and challenging at the same time. But these images of her at 33 weeks shows the absolute beauty of the pregnant form, and it was great that she was so comfortable.



Rudi & Natashia - E-Shoot


What a fun shoot! Natashia is such a spontaneous beauty in front of the camera, and the two of them had so much fun, and were so relaxed, that we got great images, which they used for their guestbook.

Have a look at some of the pages of their guestbook at the end of the post, which was placed at the reception for all their guests to leave messages - a great keepsake! We use your E-Shoot photographs and design a beautiful guestbook, printed on fine art paper, and perfectly bound as a coffee table book. Your guests can then write their messages on the pages with a permanent marker.

Brandon & Sanaa {Casalinga Ristorante}


After a beautiful E-Session with Brandon & Sanaa, I was really looking forward to take the wedding photographs. Casalinga once again provided a stunning backdrop for great images, and March is such a beautiful time of year.

The simplicity of the blood red roses against white linen was breathtaking...
