Rhodes Family Shoot in Wilderness

It has become a tradition. Third year in a row I meet Rhodes family at Wilderness beach to capture those special moments that pass way to quickly. I feel very privileged to see their family grow and be recognized by their kids as “our photo lady”:)

Forest Family Shoot

What a fun photo shoot  that was! Looking for fairies and monkeys in Wilderness forest with De la Croix family. Photographs taken in celebration of Melissa and Michael’s wedding anniversary and 1 year birthday of beautiful Violet.

Melissa is a beauty and parenting blogger herself. Interesting stories and insights on her blog Pretty Messy Melon

Breastfeeding  photos became a special part of the photo session. Breastfeeding is the most amazing, natural and nurturing relationship between a mother and a child. Mothers milk not only helps baby to grow and  develop a very strong immune and nervous system, but also creates a special bond between a mother and a child. A bond that helps both of them on their journey.

Meet Mandi, one of the two superwomen midwives, who caught our baby boy Kando in September 2016.

This was an Eden Natural  Birth family gathering. A very special  occasion for families who’d given birth with Mandi. It’s a time to catch up, play, laugh, share stories and toys, and spend some time with good people. Thank you everyone for coming to share the day. We’re looking forward to the next one!

PS. Mandy Lilly, we really missed you today!

Wilderness Beach Photo Shoot

Family photo shoot at Wilderness beach, South Africa. It is turning into a tradition with these awesome four. Last year I photographed this family while Anette was still pregnant with little Jack. It was so exciting to meet everyone once again.

RHODES FAMILY SHOOT

What a special experience that was. Beautiful Rhodes family photographed at the Wilderness beach, Garden Route, South Africa.
This young family already expecting their second child. It was a very special moment when little sister after playing on the beach ran to her mom to give a kiss to her future sister/brother in the tummy. Oh those moments are so precious and so worth capturing. We ran, we jumped over the waves, we played, we laughed and stood in awe watching magnificent sunset over the ocean.

SVETA AND SONYA

During my travels this winter I visited family in Russia. I haven’t been in Russia for more than three years, which made the visit even more special. My cousin Sveta gave birth to a gorgeous girl Sonya 6 months ago. I couldn’t resist and not to take photos of these two special people.

Here are some highlights from a new family photo story of mother and daughter.
