Sat. night my phone rang at 10:00...when i saw dad's cell on my phone i panicked and immediately thought something's wrong.... my dad does not call at 10:00 at night (actually no one calls at that time since i reached my 30's and had kids ha!).  when i answered the phone it was super loud and my dad was yelling "shannon do you hear this?!!"  i realized he was at a concert w/ my brother and he was excited about a song that was playing.  it put a smile on my face that he thought to call me.  i didn't want him to know that all i heard was yelling and nothing that resembled music.  i get my love for music from my dad.  he listens to songs he loves loud and over and over again.  whenever we are together he likes you to listen to the songs he's discovered.  it's cute and i realize i do the same thing....so here's my suggestion of the week (dad i think you'll like it).

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.
