It is that time of the year again, where families are all together again. The Bracey family come to visit Granny and Auntie Laurie in Cape Town. I loved meeting all of you, I am sure you enjoyed every moment together this last week or so. I hope there is a lot more flight specials […]
Its that time of the year again. I just can’t believe, this time its my brother’s turn. A few of his friends all got dressed at my parents house outside Paarl. They had their pre-drinks there as well. It brought back a lot of memories, when all of us were busy getting ready for our […]
Growing up on a farm just outside of Paarl, you appreciate every drop of rain that fall. Rain is always celebrated if you live on a farm 🙂 I must also say I was very thankful for this beautiful sunny day for our shoot. Dankie julle vir lekker saam lag en stap. Erna en Pieter […]
Derik met Mariechen at church in Durban. He had to work a bit to win her heart, I think that’s always a good thing 😉 They got married at Laatson, Mariechen’s uncle’s farm, her cousin is running the venue and made amazing food. I love how all the family helped where they could, from the […]
Attie Patatie is the youngest edition to our family. On the day he was born, all of us were waiting in the hospital corridors, because maybe we can get a glimpse of him through one of the windows. After an hour or two when my sister got out of theatre, all ten of us could […]
Janus is the newest little family member on Leeuwenkuil. I think Jurgens is still getting used to the idea, that Janus is here and staying 🙂 He was very sweet with his brother when we did the shoot, helped with bathing and gave kisses. They are going to have a lot of fun together, when […]
Johan organised the whole family to be in Stellenbosch at Le Pommier when he popped the question. Everybody had something part to play. Wilmarie had no idea it is coming on that day. All she knew was he have the ring. She tried it on once a week for 15 seconds. Now it will stay […]
About three years ago on the same weekend we met to do a Marais family shoot. This time I have met the newest member, Daniel Dowling. He is one day younger than my baby girl. His family came from all over to witness his baby dedication in Paarl. This was such a special day. I […]
I remember the day Berna told me about this guy she just bumped into. They started dating not long after that. This was 7 years ago 🙂 I am so happy for you. I hope you enjoy your new home in Johannesburg. Thank you that I could be part of your beautiful day. They got married in […]
The Bamm family, booked a shoot in summer. The morning of the shoot it rained cats and dogs. Luckily it sort of cleared a bit towards the end of the shoot. Simondium Country Lodge have so many different little spots where we could shoot, in the rain and the sunshine 🙂 I hope you enjoyed […]
I love it when you get to a shoot meeting strangers and after two minutes, you realise, you actually have a lot of things in common. Like going to the same conferences or friends with my brother-in-law 🙂 Then the shoot feel like a coffee date without the coffee 🙂 I love Noordhoek, so many different things to […]
The Bossard family had a South African holiday, they are from Switzerland. We decided to shoot in Noordhoek and we never got to the beach 🙂 I can not speak much German except for a song I remember from my grade 8 year. I could see that this is a happy family. You don’t need to […]
Rensu and Jessica got married at Pampoenkraal in Durbanville. I loved how the whole family did something for the wedding, from baking the wedding cake to making the bridal party’s dresses. Jessica got dressed in her family home in Pinelands, her parents, sisters with their other halves and their children were all there. I think it […]
Michael and Cornelia both are German-Namibians 🙂 They both studied in South Africa, but met each other in Namibia after their studies, if my memory serves me right. They both love Cape Town, and try to visit once a year. This time they are expecting a little girl, we tried very hard to show the […]
Our previous shoot, Jurgens was a big tummy. Now he is the youngest inhabitant of Leewenkuil at the moment. He is a whole 9 months old and growing very quickly. I loved his serious facial expressions, it looks like he is thinking very deep. I wish I could read the little peoples minds when you […]
It is that time of the year again 🙂 All the schools are starting to say good-bye to their grade 12 learners. These four decided, Val de Vie is just perfect to kick off their evening. I hope you enjoyed every minute of your matric farewell. You looked beautiful. I love the way the girls transform […]
Zach lives in Rondebosch with his mom and dad. He loves dogs, running around in the Rondebosch common and picking flowers or grass 🙂 I got a pink flower, yeah!! He is so cute. We did his pregnancy shoot just over two years ago, you can have a look. I can’t believe how quickly they […]
The Hatting family lives in a new development just outside of Stellenbosch, Winelands Village. It is beautiful. Louise is the owner of Homemade Organic Puree, you should go and have a look at her website. That was the actual reason for the shoot to get a few shots of her and Markus 😉 Enjoy your photos […]
Stephan and Anja got married just outside of Ceres, at Prins Alfred Hamlet. The farm they got had their reception is Elim farm and it was beautiful. I loved every bit of the wedding, the people, the food and the amazing open spaces and we got a few shots with little lambs 😉 While I was […]
Carsten and Nadine are originally from Germany. They have made Cape Town their home for now.

Another family that came together in Cape Town for a holiday. They rented a house in Constantia on a tiny farm. So beautiful. The light was magical at the end of our shoot and the whole place was just so peaceful. Enjoy the photos and your last day together. […]
