Maree Family Shoot - Sneak Peak

I met Rene and Darryl (Derek LOL!) at a vintage wedding shoot in April. The bride was Rene's cousin Lexi and the day was superb.

Here we are a few months later and I'm given the chance to meet angel eyes, Tannah and Taye along with Granny Maree. It was a morning of fresh air and jungle gym fun! This is their sneak peak. 

Gorman Family Shoot - Sneak Peak

If you ever meet Faye and Glenn Gorman, you would be one of the luckiest to cross paths with these two amazing people.

Since their initial shoot the family has changed, grown and morphed into what it is today. Faye and Glenn's genuine approach and hands on parenting can be seen through their two talented and outgoing children, Audrey, Terri and Wesley. 

On a personal note I couldn't ask for better friends. They are the epitome of caring and these photographs capture the Light and Love this family shares. Thank you for all you've done for us, you know what I'm referring to and you know how much I appreciate it. x

This special shoot with visiting twins Jared and Emma from Taiwan offers a small window into the lives of this special family. Enjoy!

Caught in the act.

I got snapped snapping. So I wanted to share. Just a couple friendly fun shots at an informal function at work on my little Nikon D5000 x

Waiting for Shanah

You may recall model couple Tarryn and Pat from my Funday Sunday shoot a few months ago. This is my first shoot in a couple months and I'm posting them ASAP so that you can see these beautiful parents 2 days before Shanah's arrival. (I only hope I'm looking as gorgeous as Tarryn does when I'm expecting) 

Funny thing is (I didn't know this back then) they had just found out they were expecting at the time of their first shoot with me. Here we are 9 months later and Shanah is about to make her debut. 

Wishing you so much love as you welcome your princess into the world on Monday 10th September 2012. We'll be thinking of you and look forward to Shanah's newborn shoot. 

Call Me An April Fool

In my efforts of getting creative and having time to reflect on what's important, I've decided to be the April Fool this year.

On Sunday 1 April I will be shooting 6 close friends in celebration of the fools we allow ourselves to be around our nearest and dearest.

This inspiration came to me over the weekend while packing up our house. I've realized again just how precious our friendships are and also how fleeting they are too! I had found a box of old photos dating back to 2010, not exactly a decade ago but old enough for me to realize that few of those people were still actively part of my life today. Some of the had moved on, some just haven't been in touch or vice versa. Some had moved out the country and others I had outgrown. But at that time we were all extremely close knit and for that reason I won't ever throw those pics away!

So on the 1st of April I will be capturing a group of friends for a small fee which forms a part of a big R650 discount. For R200 per person and a max of 6 people you too can dedicate time to bring back the comradrie and reunite friendships. Besides if you don't make the time to show your friends how much they mean to you, you may never get all of them in the same place at the same time again.

Booking is essential : tanith@starmail.co.za / 078 464 1349 offer valid till Friday 30 March 2012.

Funday Sunday

Tarryn and Patrique aren't your usual cute couple. Theres a tangible friendship between them that solidifies their love. Today we had the pleasure of taking their couple shots. Although already happily married for a few years now, this couple believes strongly in keeping their love alive. There is no occasion or anniversary to celebrate this shoot, just good times on Funday Sunday.

Kelly's Debut Shoot

Kelly dreams of going large in Europe - model style!

Our themed shoot found us working the camera hard and taking no prisoners. I'm sure you'll agree Kelly has a bright future ahead of her as she jet sets to the UK at the end of March 2012.

Thanks to my crew for all their help as usual. Make up by Tiffany Taylor, Salana Jooste did Kelly's hair and Wayne and Craig for assisting with props and equipment. Please feel free to post comments, we would love to hear your thoughts.

If you are a model scout or know of any contacts for Kelly in the UK please get in touch.
