Wow wow and wow! Thank you Pieter, Chenel and little Mia for reminding how EPIC The Knysna Heads really is! I absolutely loved every single second of this family shoot!
I have always said there is something so special about sunrise shoots. Maybe it’s because we are the only ones on the beach, our footprints are the first ones to be imprinted, maybe it’s all the available parking but it’s definitely seeing the start of a new day. And to share it with beautiful people is even more magical and special.
Oudtshoorn, where is Oudsthoorn? Just kidding, I know exactly where Oudtshoorn is!
When Gustav mailed for a possible photo shoot in Oudtshoorn, I was super excited, new location time. But when he told me that the shoot would take place at the Surval Boutique Olive Estate I was even more excited!After a 03h30 start for me to get to the Olive farm for sunrise, two coffee and one lemon poppyseed later I was ready to meet my new family! And what a BEAUTIFUL FAMILY they were!
No wind? This can’t be Cape St Francis!
It’s not that often that I get an opportunity to photograph in the “Eastern Cape” but when Georgia asked me if I would be willing to come to St Francis to photograph a special family celebration, Karen’s birthday. As if I needed a second invitation to photograph in a new location!
New Locations, EPIC FAMILIES!
The van Dyk Family Shoot took place at Groot Brak just outside Mossel Bay. What a stunning beach for a family shoot.
The Engelbrecht Sister Family Shoot took place at The Wreck in Plettenberg Bay. Once again we had stunning Robberg Nature Reserve backdrops!
That little Sailor Outfit – Insert heart eyes emoji!
I have truly been the luckiest photographer this season. There is something so special about “little” families that I just can’t get enough of. And having spent some time with Konstant, Yvonne and the cutest little dude Neil on the stunning and beach on Noetzie in Knysna reminded how precious these shoots are! Noetzie never fails providing stunning backdrops of the castles, those orange rusty rocks, we found a little “green patch” and of course the ocean. During the shoot I was wondering why people don’t come here and then we had to walk back up those stairs, I lost count after 50 stairs. #workoutdonefortheday
Family Of Five
Christiaan, Debrie, Láney, Ewan and little Awian braced the 05h00 start and even though we didn’t have the famous Keurboomstrand sunrise, the family was still full of smiles and laughs.
Once again I got to photograph the the Whelan Family at Keurboomstrand. This family shoot, just like last years was full of love, smiles and the cuteness! I wanted to steal Evan and Avah last year, well the feeling is still the same! These two kids! <3
What I love most about my “job” is that I get to share some of my favourite locations with families and I really think Jubilee Creek will be visited again (without me) by the Hunter family. Johann, Miranda, Eithan, Noah and Hyla was visiting Johann’s parents; Noel and Heilie from Bermuda (of all places) and it such a privilege for me to photographs these special memories. I love what I do!
Jubilee Creek once again provided the perfect forest setting for this maternity shoot. We had such fun climbing into ferns and lighting smoke bombs!
The Vosloo family shoot took place at sunrise at my favourite beach, Keurboomstrand just outside of Plettenberg Bay. We were treated with such a beautiful golden morning, perfect conditions. We laughed and captured with some magic!
