The Kotze Family is Growing
Liezl and Martin have given us quite an extraordinary journey to document, from their engagement party, to their wedding, to their first pregnancy, to the view from their roof to use as home decor, to family functions with the extended family, to their second pregnancy and Tilly-Marie’s newborn photos, and now they are expecting their third child!
