I couldn’t resist shooting some candids of them writing on each other – lots of giggling and teasing going on! We had a cup of coffee with them and went through some of the details for their wedding, and while we were chatting, Fred and Alli’s four little dogs also demanded some lens… Continue reading

Kayla’s 21st in Jozi
Kayla is my cousin, and a regular Snapdragon Assistant. Her boyfriend, Ryan, and her two besties, Shane and Loren, headed into town eeeearly one winter morning for a portrait-shoot in celebration of Kayla’s 21st birthday, and a very sad farewell to Shane and Loren who will be moving to Chicago. The four had a blast together, and the photos show it. Afterwards we warmed up with delicious cappuccinos and breakfast at Vovo Telo. By Leanne Williams.
