FINAL CHRISTMAS MINIS THIS WEEKEND!!

A little sneak peek from of one of this year's Christmas Mini Sessions 🎄 As you can see from this little taster, is I do a mix of Christmassy images and also some relaxed family shots in the field and trees. Every half hour shoot produces over 100 images to choose from!

🩵 Rohan Luies - 3 Weeks New 🩵

It has been a long time between posts, but rest assured, I am still photographing, very busy behind the scenes, behind my camera capturing many amazing highlights in many a family's lives...

Just like the arrival of precious Rohan Luies, baby brother for Andy, and another skin sibling for sweet furry sister Millie 🐾 I spent a lovely morning having out with my very favourite van Sambeeck Family, chatting, playing and in between that actually remembering to capture some memories of their newest family member 💙

☀️ Liesel + Gretel (and their lovely pawrents!) ☀️

This week I had the honour of capturing this gorgeous family. I've never photographed Dalmations before, and oh my, I am now a fan! I fell madly in love with these gorgeous girls and their beautiful energy, Liesel regal, calm and loving, Gretel cheeky and charming 🖤🤍 They are loved so very fiercely by their mum and dad, it was such a beautiful afternoon with them out on the Salt Lake on a hot afternoon as the sun set.

Purely magical ✨
