An update in the middle of the week? Unheard of, I know! But grab some sugar water or a shot of the hard stuff and check out these little pearls from a recent maternity shoot I did. One of the pics also sparked a little chat with the friendly folks from the Kiki photo group on Facebook… so I figured a little write-up about the more technical aspects, as well as some of the thinking behind a shoot, might make for a fun change of pace. Be warned, this might get a little long winded and it might bore some of you to death. If you’re ... Read More >>

Some strange things trigger the strangest of thoughts. I sat down for some much needed introspection this week and started thinking all manner of… well I’ll tell you what the thinking was about in a bit, but the strange thing was where it started. I woke up with the theme song of DALLAS stuck in my head! WTF? seriously? DALLAS? Man, I tell ya, if that doesn’t make you sit up and take stock of where you are in life and what the hell it is that you’re doing, nothing will! Now, I have a tendency to worry about what ...

Just a little somethin’ somethin’ to make the weekend come a little faster. Almost there! YAY! But like a mate always says when I tell him it’s almost weekend: “you know what that means… Monday is coming!” A rather depressing line of thinking – accurate as it might be! What isn’t depressing tho, is this little look at a shoot I did last week with Lianne and Guy. Thought I’d just share a few fun ones that I worked on last night… not done editing yet, but I just feel like sharing today. ... Read More >>

So we packed our bags and set off into the great expanse that is the Karoo… a leisurely drive through the countryside and 4 hours (and a gazillion trucks) later we were welcomed by the bright lights of Beaufort West and a big sign proclaiming: LEAVE OUR KIDS ALONE! Scary. The place might be short on water, but its long on friendliness! The locals must certainly be some of the warmest, most outgoing and friendly people you’ll find in this fine country of ours. Well worth having a bit of a chat. We got there late the Friday afternoon. ... Read More >>

Spent Sunday morning with a certain young madam, a proper little lady. Sybella and her parents received the wonderful gift, if I do say so myself, of a photo shoot done by moi! A gift voucher for a photo shoot, what a novel idea… Truly the gift that keeps on giving. So keep that in mind this Christmas, shoppers – give a photo shoot, give a gift voucher! YAY! ...

So this was the first time I got to shoot a close friend’s wedding and it makes for quite a change from a usual day at the “office”! No less pressure, by any means, though… but different non the less. For one, I don’t usually have to contend with a chorus of mates ribbing me from the cheap seats! “oi, have you got enough cameras there?”. “Are you sure that lens is big enough!”. “Are you compensating for something?”. “what’s that thing on your lip?” – it was Movemeber, I’ll have you know. Sadly Justin Bieber ... Read More >>

Right then, time for some updates. First wedding of the season goes to Adel and Marnus. Held at the truly beautiful Trossachs – a stunning farm just outside McGregor. The lovely couple booked me into the most awesome little cabin, right on the farm. I could rant on for a good long while about the awesomeness of a weekend spent in a countryside cabin, a bed in front of a crackling fireplace and waking up in the middle of nowhere, in luxurious opulence, with an unobstructed view of the karoo veld rolling out over the horizon in front of ...

I shot Jaclyn and Jason’s wedding in Jozie a little while back. My first wedding up in JHB and quite the experience. The lovely couple tied the knot in a stunning old church — dont ask me where, I was completely lost for most of the weekend! Whatever you do, don’t listen to those TOM-TOM thingies, they are NOT to be trusted! I’m pretty sure it tried to take us to the dark side of the moon… at one point I was reasonably certain it had actually succeeded. Anyhoooo… the JHB Country Club made for an ... Read More >>

Just a little bit of cuteness to make the day go by! ... Read More >>

And so the winter is upon us – I am not pleased! I never was one for freezing me jewels off! Overrated, in my opinion… Certainly never got the hang of this whole getting out of bed while it’s still dark outside thing. Just can’t see the appeal, really. But I must admit things have taken on a certain holiday sorta feel, what with Wedding Season being a thing of the past and all. I even got to watch some TV the other night… CRAZY! But before I wind down and completely zone out into holiday mode, I have a wedding or 2 to report ... Read More >>
