“A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bank balance smaller, home happier, clothes dirty, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.”

“Having a baby changes the way you view your in-laws. I love it when they come to visit. They hold the baby and I go out.”

“A baby is born with a need to be loved – and never outgrows it.”- Frank A. Clark

“I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.”- Eleanor Roosevelt

“What good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is usually best after all.”- Benjamin Spock

“As a mother, my job is to take care of what is possible and trust God with the impossible.” – Ruth Bell Graham

“J” & “M” is now all of three months old.  Considering that they were prem babies they are now big and strong.  My heart was stolen by them the first time I laid eyes on them.  At first looking at these gorgeous twin babies you would think they must be identical, but as you get to konw them you soon realize that the differences between this little boy and little girl are

very big.  Take for instance “J” is normally very niggly and cries a little and “M” is usually really quiet and content with the world.  But on the day of the photoshoot they decided to take a shot at each other’s roles.  Photographing twins is one of the challenges that are very close to my heart.  My brother also has identical twin boys and I love photographing them.

Because they are very alike as well as very different and the trick lies in capturing these little nuances.

I have just spent the best two (and a half days) camping out in Rustenburg with some of my family.  Looking at this photos can you believe that this isn’t almost half of them   We have been going camping since I was probably one and a half.  This is I get a chance to recharge my batteries and catch up with all my cousins and nephews.  And we have now started a new

family tradition where we take one big group photos of everyone so that we can treasure these photos in years to come.  We found a dam where we played “klei-lat” until the sunset.  We sang psalms and other Afrikaans folk songs around the fire and even had a race to see who could get their tent packed up in the shortest time.  I have now learnt to treasure every precious moment and take life one day at a time…

Modelling is all about looks and attitude… and “A” has tons of both   You need to be able to own a certain look and change in an instant.  A professional modelling portfolio is the most
important tool any model can own.  This is something you use to market yourself in any field of modelling.  Be it photographic, ramp modelling etc.  The challenge in photographing

professional models is to do something different and working in sync with your model.  You need to make them feel comfortable and sexy and this is when the true model will reveal themselves…  An awesome modelling portfolio speaks volumes about the model and the photographer.

My family has two family camp outs every year and this weekend we are having the first one for 2010….!  I am so excited, when I go camping my heart soars and I feel free.  Hearing the crickets singing at night while sitting around the campfire.  Snuggling into your sleeping bag in your tent.  These are the things that makes my soul blossom    I will be sure to post a few fodies once I return to the city of gold…
