Kristen (see her super dooper photography work here) emailed on the Thursday, asking if i would be able to do a pregnancy shoot for her and her husband, but that it needed to be done on the Thursday or Friday, since they are leaving for Holland again the Sunday. It happened that the shoot i had the Friday got postponed so I was able to meet them in Camps Bay for their shoot! Kristen is from Canada, David from USA and they live in Holland. I guess it did not really come as a surprise when she told me that she met David while traveling. It was awesome spending the afternoon with these two (and a half.) Kristen’s awesome outfit did so much for the shoot and I loved shooting in Camps Bay, since I have never done a shoot there before. Kristen and David, enjoy the photos and please keep me up to date with the name for your baby! Blessings!
(Oh, and before I forget! It was so weird! I have never met them before, they were only still in SA 2 days after the shoot, I have never been in Riebeek Wes before, but where would i run into kristen and David on Saturday just before i start shooting a wedding? In Riebeek Wes! CrAzY! Maybe I run into you again next year, hopefully at the WPPI where we both so desperately want to go!)

Werner en Elzeth is al ‘n paar maande getroud. Hulle is so oulik saam! Elzeth het gereel dat ons by Rustenberg Stellenbosch hul foto’s kan neem. Ons monde het oopgehang oor hoe goed versorg die plaas is. Dankie vir die lekker middag met julle 2! Julle maak my werk so lekker!

I could not take photos of Jared and Megan on their wedding day, but that did not stop up from having a great shoot!
You will see that there are 2 parts. The 2nd part I asked them if it would be ok if I test my new Radio Poppers that my friends Jaco le Roux brought back from USA for me. (He is a pro with flash photography. He showed me some pics he took of sheep in a land with flash the other day. Superb!) Anyway, 95% of my work I shoot natural light and only use flash where I really have to, like the reception part of a wedding. To say the truth, I am a bit scared of a flash. But that I changing now. I am practicing and learning and trying out new things. I do not think my style would ever change from using mainly natural light, but I really enjoyed exploring! Thanks Jared and Megan for allowing me to use you as my gunny pigs!

Jonel is ‘n boesem maatjie van my. Sy is een van daardie vriendinne wat jy nie laat gaan as jy haar het nie. Sy het ‘n oor wat kan luister, ‘n hartjie wat deel en sy is regtig een van daardies wat jou skottelgoed sal was as almal al weg is. Dis great om haar in my lewe te he.
Ferdi het ‘n ruk terug op die horison verskyn. Nou is hy verseker nie meer net op die horison nie, maar het sommer al laaankal sy plekkie in ons harte geskrop. Hierdie spesifieke foto’s is geneem een Sondag terwyl ons by ‘n ander vriendin op hulle plaas gekuier het. Die lig was net so mooi en dit het na ‘n puik geleendheid gelyk om die tweetjies bietjie “onder die lens” te kry.
Ek waardeer julle twee ontsettend baie!

How could we not do a TTD (trash the dress) session with this awesome couple! This was Part I, the “safe” TTD. We went to Hout Bay for this shoot and the wind was crazy…but was so much fun. Part II will follow soon!
Thanks Neil and Laura, it was a great playing in the wind with the two of you!

Bruce and Rebecca…such a fun couple!
Rebecca, I don’t even think I am going to tell you that the post is up because you are always the first one on my blog in the morning! Thank you for being so inspirational with your comments on my blog.
I really enjoyed getting the 2 of you a little better and I seriously am looking forward to your wedding day! It will be my first for the year of 2010.
Enjoy!!!

Once again it was just such a privilege working with Ben and Marybeth. Weather wise we had everything from rain to a bit of soft sunlight breaking though the clouds. It was a great afternoon spend with 2 people that feel way more like friends than clients. Thanks you two!

I met both Gwen and Joel last year during my visit to USA. Joel is Marybeth’s brother and they decided to do a couple shoot in the time that I was still in the USA. I just love the energy the two of them have when they are together!
Thank you Gwen and Joel!
