Sophie Joy

I had been listening to 'Of Mosters and Men's music before the shoot and had some of the lyrics in my head, so I felt it apt to add it to the shoot, with it being an influence and inspiration on the day. I had also just listened to an incredibly powerful teaching on the love of Jesus, 

which definitely fuelled my veins!

Give the song a listen to while you go through the shoot: 

Mountain Sound by Of Monsters and Men. It's a gem!;)

(images below) Some behind the scenes shots that father Dan snapped. For those viewers curious to know which camera setups I used, well I didn't use the cushion camera I am sporting in this shot ha ha. I shot with two Canon 6Ds primed with a 100mm and a 50mm. We mainly worked with natural light due to the desired style of this type of shoot.

(Bottom right) "Amandla!"

A very proud set of grandparents!

What a fun morning! We spend most of the morning playing with Sophie, looking for fun story books, drinking coffee and having a good laugh. We even took a couple photos here and there;) The shoot went way overtime, due to such a beautiful, well kitted house, along with such a beautiful little Princess. Oh and Dan's coffee making skills were somewhat inspiring;)

So stoked for you, Dan and Kirst! You guys are truly blessed! Life is a complete miracle.

Tendai, Ku and Talumba Welcome little Wangu into their Family

This shoot took place when Wangu, Tendai and Ku's son, was only two weeks old. This is a great time for a new born shoot, as babies tend to sleep through it all, allowing the photographer to get the best possible shots without upsetting the little one. These types of shoots usually take place in controlled environments, such as studios, but we were out for something much more bold and dramatic, so we opted for a beach and open field, as a backdrop. Tendai and Ku were an absolute pleasure to work with! Ku did a very impressive job at coordinating outfit colours, as well as bringing in bold props. We were blessed with sunshine, and a beautiful KZN sunset, as our shoot came to a close. It was quite windy on the beach, but we managed to work around it, by taking shelter behind a tall set of rocks. This shoot was somewhat tricky to monitor due to the strong winds, the kids on the move and the bright sunlight, which left me a little unsure of the end result. When I did get a change to go through the collection of photos, I was thrilled with the outcome. This shoot was placed into a exquisite coffee album, which will savour this special day forever.
