Mr and Mrs MJ's Maternity Shoot

I've had to privilege of knowing Guy for the last 11 years - the entirety of my life in JHB. Now that he and Tamzin are married and expecting their little girl, I'm privileged to know them all (well almost). 

So today we had the baby shoot for their little angel who will arrive shortly. Hope you like these pics, my first of 2014. 

Tiger Cat

Gosh it's been a while. Over a year since I've shot anything decent, which is the reason why tomorrow I'm doing my first shoot for 2014. The itch needs to be scratched!

So, in prep for tomorrow's shoots (and there will be a couple) the infamous Tiger Cat has volunteered (like he had a choice) to be my test subject as I take the camera for a spin. 


Hope you like them, he's such a character.

Steaming Beauty

It has been so long since I took a decent, inspired photograph. I've been so busy with life that Instagram has filled the place where my trusty Nikon once did.

On a recent trip to Cullinan I found out some family history on my mum's side. Apparently my grandfather Hendrik Naude was actually South Africa's youngest steam train operator at one stage. I found this out coincidently, my mum and I stood side by side staring at the steaming black beauty in front of us when she shared this insightful titbit. 

These are some pics I've edited with a Split Toning Filter. I wanted high contrast black and white but these have grown on me. I'm thinking of putting them up in our house. What do you think of them?

My Saturday Deliveries

Just a typical Saturday, prepping for deliveries to clients of completed shoot. Pics off my cellphone - What do ya think? 

On a lighter note

Recently I posted a couple of pics to my blog from 3 of the shoots I did. Somehow they didn't seem to shine as brightly as I recalled them through the lens. I'm not going to delete them, instead I'm going to load the re-edited version. 

Thing is, I need your feedback. Do you like this brighter look?
