About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...

One good thing out of the system overhaul, is that I found this picture in a folder, lurking where it shouln't be. Taken of Jake a year ago.

 

Finding a folder of forgotten photographs, is like discovering a present that you have not yet opened.

We experienced the magic of Easter four times over the past long weekend. Although, I might add, for the most part, downpours did threaten to put a damper on the celebrations, the midgets simply took it all in their stride and were unflinching in the rampant quest for the ever-elusive Easter Bunny.

 

We drank tea (well, I fib - my teacup contained what I refer to as Mummy's Little Helper, aka chardonnay ;-) ), we had our little Easter tea party followed by a twilight egg hunt with ultra-blue flashlights and luminous eggs; all wrapping up with an Easter Monday grand prix at Granny's and Grampa's.

 

Hope you had a great Easter.

Absolutely a stunning time seems to be had over Easter weekend. And not just the egg hunt," Mama's Little Reg Maaker"
I just love the colours as always. I can't wait to join in with all these festivities, looking at your photos make me think back to when I was their age. Hell time flies, wait I think I now need a reg maaker!
God Bless

Our little forest has been fenced off. We now have to resort to leopard crawling under the pallisade fence to sneak into our enchanted forest.

Yes, technically, trespassing. Terrible, I know!  But it is always worth it in the end. An adventure for the boys and sweet images for me!

I almost forgot, Monday is a public holiday in South Africa, so no email or phone from my side ;-).

That is such a beautiful spot... such a pity they've fenced it off, but glad you've found a way through

I really love how you capture your kids, it's very inspiring and makes me want to shoot my kids all the time (hmmm, that sounded wierd). I've few good ones I took recently, will send them to you a little later.

Keep up the good work.
