Time flies
All of a sudden we're here again and another year has passed. My eldest is now 11 and the preparation for her mini birthday shoot included debating between pairs of earrings and trying to find a hairstyle that would allow her 'dyed hair' to show. Something that never would have happened a year ago. She… Continue reading Time flies

She's still giggly and gorgeous and will always be my little girl but taking these photos for the 10th birthday really shows just how fast they grow up and how important it is to take photos and capture memories… Continue reading Where does the time go?
Asking for a friend ~ MODEL CALL
One of my favourite kinds of status updates to read on Facebook and other places are questions supposedly posed on behalf of 'a friend'.

And they got me… Continue reading Asking for a friend ~ MODEL CALL
Awesome confirmation photos in the snow!
Last spring I met up with two very brave and beautiful young ladies to take their confirmation photos. It was a gorgeously sunny day at Nallikari but it was unbelievably windy which meant it was freezing! Their smiles never faltered though and I can only wish I had half of their poise! Here are a… Continue reading Awesome confirmation photos in the snow!
