Sonja’s Beautiful Family
Meet Sonja’s beautiful family. She, her hubby and their many many floofs welcomed their very long-anticipated baby boy, Chris! Baby Chris wasn’t too enthusiastic about posing, and kept us quite busy for a good few hours, but Sonja was so chilled and easy going about it you’d swear she’d been doing this for years. True to her relaxed parenting style, she wanted authentic lifestyle portraits with natural light. Of course, the dogs got a little time… Continue reading
Derick’s First Photoshoot
Welcome to the world little Derick Simon! Very very shortly after Liezl’s Pregnancy Shoot, Derick made his appearance. And of course the entire extended family attended his first photoshoot. Just like his dad, Derick yawned through the family photos and then protested loudly when it was his turn to take the spot light. Photography by Leanne Williams, assisted by Sean Williams….and all the aunties and uncles and grannies and grandpas. :-p
Liezl’s Baby Belly
Liezl and Martin’s wedding was exactly 10 months ago. Martin didn’t waste any time! Liezl asked me for a handful of very specific maternity photos, so we started in studio and then headed for a nearby park for sunset. Little Derick Simon should make his appearance in a week or two.

This time we went to the park next to the Boskruin Koppie near their homes. It started out really dreary and overcast, but at least it was cool with soft light. It rained for a few minutes, and then the most BEAUTIFUL light broke through the clouds. The youngest girls really enjoyed… Continue reading
Three Little Staessens
Since the kids enjoyed their photo shoot so much last year, we did the exact same shoot again this year…..Walter Sisulu Botanic Gardens…..some attempts at formal poses (always a fun challenge with three toddlers) followed by documentary photos of them playing and having fun. The children’s personalities shine through in the photos – Bella, the little lady, Erin the fearless wild child, and Logan, the way-to-cool-for-school poser. I’m always impressed with Marleen and Guido’s patience,… Continue reading
The Murgatroyd Family
The Murgatroyd Family’s lifestyle portrait shoot happened on one of those winter days which is freezing in the shade and hot in the sun. It was extremely dry and dusty, with fabulous glowing, warm, purple light, even first thing in the morning. Since Devon was just under 4 years old, I suggested my favourite spots in Walter Sisulu Botanic Gardens so that he could have a little fun with the waterfall, the black eagles and the jungle gyms… Continue reading
