Family | The Happy Wilkens {Part 2}

So here is Part 2 of the family shoot of the Wilkens.  Yesterday I have posted Part 1 of their family shoot, view it here.

We gave Anjunette a camera (Nikon off course!! :-) ) so she could "photograph" her little sister..  It was so cute.  Anjunette looked like a real photographer in training. :-)

Have a fabulous day ! :-)

Family | The Happy Wilkens {Part 1}

I have know Hester since nursery school.  So in other words, we have know each other basically our whole lives!  So I was very happy when she contacted me to do a family shoot of her, her husband Werner and their 2 adorable girls, Anjunette and Luhandri.  One thing that Hester mentioned, was that they want to remember how they played with their kids.  And I must say that their photos really show that!  Such a beautiful, happy and easygoing family! :-)

So it was a very difficult task to choose photos for this blog post, I decided to do a "Part 1"and by the end of the week to post a "Part 2".  I just adore Anjunette's young personality that is busy evolving and the way she already "pose"for the camera.. (took a bit of convincing, but we got there! :-) )  And little Luhandri, she only have 2 teeth at this state, but oh boy, she love to show them off !! :-)  So friendly and not shy to laugh at all.

I would like to thank Roan for assisting me with the shoot.  The extra pair of hands really helped a lot ! :-)

 

Baby | Mianell's Christening

I had the privilege to photograph little Mianell's christening. She is only 3 months old now and such a little sweetie. She is a very tiny baby girl and has these big eyes, that looks right through you. Everything was soft and pink and girly, I loved it ! Amongst the guests at lunch, there were her cousins and other children. I always love it when there are a lot of children, they always make such honest photographs. Even though Mianell will not remember the day of her christening, she will one day look at these photos with her lovely parents and family and be reminded that she has been given to God as a little baby.

To Hendrik and Marionell, may Mianell bring you all the joy in the world ! You are so blessed to have her in your life. I adore the love that I witnessed on her special day. :-)

New born Baby | Tabitha

When I photographed little Tabitha she was only  6 days old.   Last week I went back to take pictures of how she looks like now - 1 month old. (blog post to come up later)  It is just so amazing how quickly they change and grow up.  This little girl was very curious and she was almost awake on all the photos!  Normally with such small babies they will just fall asleep during the shoot.  But not this little one! :-)  But no complains, normally we try to get more shots with their eyes open.  Congratulations Jandre & Marileen, your girl is precious!   

Baby | Little Romé 4 months

Little Romé has the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen.  When she looks at you with those cute little eyes, it feels like she is looking right through you and you just melt.. This little girl already has a very playful spirit!  It doesn't take a lot to get her to smile.  O and those cheeks !!  Isn't that just the most adorable !   And is she not wearing the cutest outfit !  Very fashionable I think.. :-)

Baby | Owen's Christening

Little Owen is just the sweetest baby. He is only one month old and already one can see that this is a tough little guy!  :-)  When he was born there were some complications with him and he was hospitalised only a few days after. The doctors advised that he possibly need surgery, but they first needed to run some tests. A lot of prayers were prayed for little Owen, and God answered.  He didn't need the surgery!  He was healed!  A miracle happened!  Praise the Lord.

He was so easy to photograph and I just loved all the expressions on his cute face.  To his parents, Bernard & Gernine, I hope he brings you all the joy in the world.  He is so special..

Little boy | Danru

I would like to share some photos of my little nephew, Danru.  He is growing up so fast and is becoming this walking talking little boy.  He surely makes our family laugh alot with all the funny things he is up to.  And he sings !  Like a little pro.. :-)  I just loved these images in black and white. Brings out a little bit of this little guy's personality, I think.. ;-) 


 

Pienaar kids | Sister love

The Pienaar family recently added a new little family member, little Mieke.  She is their second child and older sister Rochelle is so proud of her little baby sister.  I love to photograph children, it always amazes me with the things they can come up with.  They have these big imaginations and anything is possible in their eyes. I think an inspiration to adults. We should again start to think that anything can be possible and pursue our dreams.  I just love Rochelle's facial expressions in the pictures. Very independent, clever little  girl. :-)  A real joy !
