Hulley Family

Kim Hulley joined me for my concept photoshoot - Innocence vs. the jungle in March this year. Kim's mom Veronica - was interested in bringing her family. husband - Herbert son - Matthew & daughter - Kim for a family photoshoot. I think I even got Matthew & Herbert to smile as much as Veronica says they hate having their pictures taken. With such a creative vibrant mom the whole family matched and photographed impeccable.

Below are collages of some of the pictures I captured of their family photoshoot.

Mommy & Me - Ziningi

Ziningi and her precious little two month old munchkin came in for a "mommy and me" session. There's nothing more rewarding then taking pictures and creating memories for a mom and her baby. I love when my "mommy's" leave with a smile and when they receive their pictures the smile is 10 times bigger.

To all my mommy's thank you for keeping the passion in me burning :)

Me, Mommy & Daddy - Aya

One of my famous moms returned or as I call her "sexy mama" & "Mrs G-L-A-M" coz she came for her maternity photoshoot and she rocked her tummy! She made being pregnant look stylish and proved that you don't have to let go of yourself when you have a baby bump. Xoli returned for her 3rd photoshoot as she had chosen my "Tummy to Toddler" package and this time we had both mommy and dad join little baby Aya

 

Annual Family Competiton 2011 - Winners

Leonie & Marvin's Wedding | 9 July 2011

Miss Conway asked me to capture her moment becoming Mrs. Novaine when she marries Marvin. Leonie was no diva on her wedding day, she was calm & relaxed. While studying photography under the chapter about how brides can be (drama queen, diva's & moody) she fell under the definition of "the bride that knows what she wants but is the most simple bride you will have to deal with". Leonie was a total sweetheart and Marvin was the cool dude with his bestmen who had sunglasses on lol. This is one wedding that definitely stands out for me.

    

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Novaine, I wish you both all the happiness in the world :)

Sipheshihle's Graduation | 2 July 2011

My friend (Chomi wam)  Siphesihle and I go back about 9 years and when she called me up to take pictures at her graduation I made sure I was available.

Siphesihle being one of my most bubbly friends was totally up for any suggestions I have even when I asked her to take off her graduation gown and bare the cold outside. She was a total sport!

Love you my friend :)
