Father and Son | Johan & Danru

Little Danru (my adorable newphew! See previous post I've done on him here) turned 1 in July and I can't believe how quickly this year went by. Sunday afternoon Johan (my brother in law) and Danru spent some time outside after the long cold winter.  It was so beautiful to capture this loving relationship between a father and his little boy.  Danru started to walk a few weeks ago and was so adorable to see him balancing his little body on those cute baby feet.  Have a blessed week everyone !

Engagement | Jaco & Zanandi

















When I met with Jaco and Zanandi I could immediately see that these two are meant for each other.  They have such a touchable chemistry between them and I could see that they know each other very well.  I can't wait to photograph their wedding in November !  We had a wonderful engagement shoot at Linga Longa (their wedding venue).  When we started they were a bit shy, but as we warmed up all the pictures came naturally.  And that is exactly how I love photos, to be natural and bring out people's personality and feelings for each other.  Photos that tells an interesting story about people's life..

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..
