New born baby photo shoot in Cape town.

I had the absolute pleasure in taking photos of this gorgeous and beautiful little boy at the age of 3 weeks.

The photo session was at their family home.  We set up an indoor studio environment with a black backdrop to get the traditional black n white imagery and then we moved outdoors into the garden to really appreciate the beautiful warm and windless day.

We were able to have baby naked and amoungst nature .Which was beautiful.

Enjoy the photographs.x

An at home family photo shoot in Cape Town.

This super lovely & happy family wanted a family photo shoot  in the comfort of their home & garden.

It was a gorgeous drive up the West Coast and well worth the drive.

Sebastian is just such a handsome little boy , it was a pleasure shooting his portraits in a natural light setting of the garden.

I used a combination of natural light and flash for this session.

Porter Estate Produce market

Good friends own & run the Porters Estate produce market and they asked me to take a selection of Lifestyle & food photography  images that really brought the mood & essence of the market to the viewer.

This is the original outdoor market in Cape Town and is just to divine.

Outdoors in the forestry area of Tokai, this magic thing happens each Saturday, The porter estate market comes alive and is filled with delicious food, fresh produce, incredible play areas and an amazing wooden  play castle build by Wooden elements for the kids to have fun.

There’s horse rides, amazing craft, african music by a marimba band and did I mention the best farm & health breakfasts in town. All the while strolling under the warm sun and filling you wicker baskets with amazing treats to take home… Or relax in the shade in the soft grass with friends and enjoy a delicious juice or a coffee.

It really is a down to earth & beautiful way to spend your Saturday morning.

If you have not visited before, make sure to visit soon.

Mbali Lodge Guest house photography

This lodge is just incredible , the moment you step into the estate , you feel at peace, wild & free.
Mbali lodge is in the mountains of Hout Bay , Cape Town , South Africa.
The house is surrounded by outstanding vistas over Oranjekloof mountains. A dense & beautiful valley.
As you spend time , you hear the call of the eagles & the hoot of the owls.
Newly born Butterflies , a treasure of fragrant fynbos and the sweet sweet smell of the mountain air.
Bliss:-)
So as you can imagine… shooting the house was awesome.
The client wanted me to bring a sense of homeliness to the guest house photography. So I played with the details for the interior photography,  moved things around allot,  and had a great time styling the house & then photographing it too. Hard work , but always rewarding to have a happy client who loves her images!!
I would highly recommend this as a getaway in the mountains. Safe , pure, peaceful & beautiful.
