An extremely sunny morning as I met the Mense family at an unusually dry Botanical Garden in Pretoria. Nevertheless we got going with the spirit of their little man who has one of the brightest smiles on the planet. The little guy was certainly in charge and was without doubt the star of this growing German family.
The Menses are a German family who by now would have already landed back home after their three years in our beautiful country. As a last memory they decided a good way to remember the their last few weeks by capturing their beautiful family.
I wish them all the best...

We walked up and down the park looking for the best backgrounds with Marie's eyes lighting up when...
I have never shot anything at Waterfall Estates in Midrand, but driving through the area, I have always pictured how great it would be. It is a hefty sized piece of land, but incredibly well kept and looked after with handful of water holes and weeping willows. Real picturesque style of views. Perfect for a maternity shoot.
When I first met Noy, I was blown away. Pregnancy really makes her glow and her incredible features make my camera smile. I was really spoiled with this incredible setting and an amazing couple. Amit is a true gentleman and you get the feeling he really enjoys taking...
