Lyndall’s Extended Family
Lyndall was a beautiful bridesmaid at two weddings we covered. At the first wedding, she was pregnant with her youngest daughter. Both of her daughters were absolute stars around the camera, constantly asking me for photos of them twirling in their flower-girl dresses and playing with the wedding decor. So I was obviously thrilled when she contacted me about arranging a studio shoot to spoil her mom for her birthday. The whole extended family met at the studio, including Lyndall’s… Continue reading
Benn and Lucca
Best friends, Bry-Anne and Cathryn each got a new puppy in the same year. Benn is Bry-Anne’s first dog: a goofy, intense, beautifully black rescue. Lucca is Cathryn’s third dog. Her first two are rescued cross-breeds and Lucca is her first Askenhill Border Collie who promises to be a fabulous competitive agility dog. I met both lovely ladies and these special dogs at McKaynine Dog Training Centre where we all work together. This mini photo shoot was a small thank… Continue reading
Sander Sisters and Sundry
Remember this lot? I went to primary school with Rela and have been photographing this gorgeous family since, well, look at how YOUNG everyone was here!! And in here!

The Return of the Crazy Staessens
Remember these cuties? Here we go again – year 9 of annual adventure photo shoots with these crazies. As always, we started out trying to capture some clean, ‘normal’ posed family portraits, but withing 5 minutes the kids were demanding paint and movement. The powdered paint was done again on request from the kids, much to Oupa’s horror. He was pretty patient for the first 30 minutes of the game. He even threw some paint and posed for family… Continue reading
Kipling and Summit
Have you ever heard two more perfect names for dogs?! Caroline, owned by Kipling who we met last year, was offered this beautiful border collie puppy who she has decided to name Summit. She has big dreams of succeeding in agility with both boys, but the three of them also love hiking, mantrailing and canine conditioning. I adore Summits aquamarine eyes and pricked ears. And he is soooo good. Luckily. Because Kipling is a handful: poor Caroline spent most… Continue reading
