I did a shoot with Carmen and Frank and their gorgeous little baby girl, Lena, who decided to join the world a few weeks early.

Simone and her family were all together in Cape town from London and New Zealand and decided that it would be great idea to do a family shoot on the rare ocassion of everyone together. I met them early in the morning in Constantia and was very happy to have gotten out of bed for such a lovely family.

After doing a preggie shoot with Zaba and Luzuko, I knew they were going to be such lovely parents and they are so besotted with their little guy, Simphiwe. Such beauty.

Therese and her family are from Norway and were on holiday in Cape Town in December. We did a shoot on a beautiful and busy summer's day on Hout Bay beach.

Little Dylan was born after just 27 weeks inutero and weighed just 480 grams at birth. Hayley and Duncan spent the first few months of his life traipsing in and out of NICU. 

There was no time to do a maternity shoot or any of the 'usual' things that first-time-moms get to do when preparing for the arrival of their baby and so Hayley commented that this shoot felt like the first little step of normality in terms of becoming a mother.

Dylan is super-cute with huge and beautifully curious eyes and Hayley and Duncan are such besotted parents. 

I met Zaba and Luzuko at Llundudno beach to do a maternity shoot when Zaba was 34 weeks pregnant. Their baba is due next month - can't wait to meet him. These guys are super-relaxed and beautiful people. 

Justine and Myles are the most lovely parents to the sweetest little guy Cameron who is two and completely edible. It's been so lovely watching his journey from tiny baby to waddling toddler to a talking little person.

I photographed little James when he was just a tiny baba a few months ago and now he has grown so much at 7 months old; and obsessed with eating his hand. We started the shoot at a park in Claremont and then headed home for some shots in a tub of water which he absolutely loved. What a cutie.

I absolutely love seeing past wedding clients expand into little families and to observe their growth over the years. I've been lucky enough to photograph Jacqui and Neil over the past few years with their gorgeous kids Nick and Mia. This year we hung out down the road from their home at Noordhoek Common. How cute is little Mia?
