I recently met Minette’s family at her 40th birthday party. This family loves photos. The kids, Phoenix and Legacy (how cool are those names?) are captivating, cute, and really good at posing for pics. Minette and Lee are a beautiful, sexy, photogenic couple. Minette’s parents are an extremely loving couple and have superb stamina and patience with the kids. Minette and her mom treated themselves to a pre-photoshoot mini makeover, so they looked radiant! We went to the Walter Sisulu Botanic Gardens on a public holiday and it was the busiest I’ve ever seen it! Thank goodness for my supreme photoshop skills to edit out the strangers in the backgrounds. We got some seriously pretty Autumn sunshine and some soft overcast light, so there’s a lovely variety of photos. Instead of finishing off the shoot by letting the kids have fun in the playground like we usually do, we chose the much quieter outdoor gym with hilarious results – apparently Minette on gym equipment is a rare sighting. Pheonix and Legacy seemed to enjoy their shoot, and Legacy ran around so much that her toes were raw and ‘redy blad’! (for those of us who don’t speak Toddler, that’s ‘very bad’)
