Family | Pretorius

I would like to share some pictures I took of my sister Monya, her husband Johan and their 9 month old baby Danru.  You might remember Danru (cutest baby in the whole wide world!!) from a post I did previously, see here.  We took a drive outside Vereeniging and stopped at the farm once owned by our grandfather and decided that it will be so nice to add a natural look and feel to the photos.  What better venue than the farm !  Thank you Johan and Monya (and Danru off course)  for being so much fun during the shoot !  I know them so well and really think that the photos tells a story about them and brings out their different personalities.  And please Johan and Monya, some of these must be framed and put up on the staircase wall in your house !! :-)

Must ask Danru what Cosmos taste like.. ??  :-)  Just before he could take a bite his mom took the Cosmos from him..  Luckily I was quick with the camera..

                                                        

           

 

 The grandparents waited patiently for their turn with Danru. He stayed with them while I took a couple of pictures of Johan and Monya.. 

 

Wildlife | Kruger National Park

The bushveld is one of my favourite places in the world !  I love the calmness, but also the mystery the bush holds..  Around the next corner you might see a leopard in a tree.. or a pride of lions.. or you might see a giant kingfisher with the catch-of-day..  I would like to share some pictures I took during our recent visit to the Kruger National Park.  We left the crazy busy city the Sunday morning and spent the night in Sabie.  Before sunrise the next morning we left Sabie for an incredible 5 days in the Kruger.  I was so previlaged to spend these couple of days with great friends ! :-)  Rudi & Colette (my fellow photographer buddies), Charlene and Cobie (see Charlene and Cobie with Cosmos here).  Thanks again you guys for an unforgetable week !  Also, thank you for all you patience while I was exploring different shoots of birds.. :-)  Hope you enjoy the end results as much as I did.

We took a late afternoon drive.. we drove and drove and didn't see a thing !  A last we saw it !! Rudi & Colette !! :-)


Rudi and Colette at Skukuza Rest Camp.  I don't see what they see ?? Do you ?
