William’s First Photo Shoot

Meet 1.5 month old William.  I met his parents a couple of years ago at the wedding of a mutual friend and the first thing that struck me about this pair is how serious they are.  After getting to know them a bit, I found them to be exceptionally hard working, organised, logical people, and they’re amazingly supportive and generous friends when things go wrong.   William is just as serious as his parents!  Perfectly capable… Continue reading

Skylar’s Newborn Shoot

Awesome Skylar had her first portrait shoot at just under 1 month old.  She’s too beautiful already.  Granny attended to help, and we used her family heirloom ring as a prop because it will one day be handed down to Skylar.  Her granny’s teddy bear also made an appearance for it’s sentimental value….my favourite kind of prop.  Hope that Bryde, Bryce and their gorgeous daughter cherish these pics forever!  Also see Bryde’s Maternity Shoot.… Continue reading

Bryde’s Skylar Belly

Remember Bryde and Bryce’s Wedding?    Here’s Bryde just over 9 months since their Honeymoon, and she’s expecting a little girl to be named Skylar.  We used the couple’s home and the park down the road for their maternity shoot, but sadly without Bryce since he’s not a fan of posing for photos.  Looking forward to doing a newborn shoot with Skylar when she arrives.  By Leanne Williams.

Little Milana and Her Family

7 month old Milana and her parents are visiting from the UK, so they wanted some photos their South African family. We had originally planned to shoot at the Johannesburg Zoo, but Milana’s very careful mum didn’t want to expose her to the cold, so we rescheduled for our studio. I think Milana’s busy uncles were a bit too much for her – She just wouldn’t pose nicely with them, though I still love the shots with her crying. But… Continue reading

The Weir-Smith Household

Remember Neil and Ali, and their lil cutie, John?   A few months later, and John is neeeeeeaaaaarly sitting by himself.  So of course dad pops him onto his Suzuki for their photoshoot!  And naturally the four-legged family-members got into a shot or two.  We also did some window portraits of little John in his nursery, which is decorated with hand painted murals of Toothless from How to Train your Dragon – one of my… Continue reading

Baby Boy Bean, Mishari

Our grand-nephew visited us for the first time with his mom – our niece – all the way from Kuwait.  Laura held a sweet baby shower for her South African friends and family, and while I was tucking into home made cupcakes and pizza I discovered that she’d been wanting professional photos and had planned to commission me for some while she was here.  So I offered her a lifestyle shoot as a baby-shower gift.  A few… Continue reading
