The Sander Sisters
On new year’s day, these 3 sisters ignored hangovers and brought their extended family together for another photoshoot. Here’s their last shoot. 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
The Thorpe Ladies
Mom treated her two daughters to an urban family photoshoot in Johannesburg to celebrate her eldest’s 21st birthday. Nothing makes three beautiful ladies glow like some grunge and graffiti in early morning light. These three obviously love the camera and were an absolute pleasure to shoot. By Leanne Williams.
Three Little Staessens

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

Lots of hugs and kisses and even a few tears followed as the family had obviously not been reunited for some time. Emoyeni was unfortunately very late in serving the breakfast, but Norman’s children ensured that guests were entertained with a live jazz band and good conversation while they waited.… 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
