This young girl decided that for her 14^th birthday she wants a photoshoot with her and some of her friends. I get a phone call from her mother explaining how she wants this done, and that they are ready for some serious fun in the studio. She also explained how her daughter has alopecia, which caused her to unfortunately not have a lot of hair. Her mother said they brought her up to fight for her place in the world, and how she actually has such a strong self-esteem, and her friends are absolutely crazy about her.

This bunch of girls made my day, they always have a way of showing the lighter side of life, and they are so giddy amongst each other all you can do is laugh and go with it. This brave girl has such a great attitude about life, and she is very positive, not letting her illness get her down.

Tweenies are the bunch right after you have put your Barbies away, but do not quite fit yet into adulthood, and it’s such a special time for a girl. I enjoyed them thoroughly, and would advise any person wanting to do such a type of shoot for their kids, to come and have some fun with us in the studio – it’ll be memories they never forget.

We get to work with amazing big companies when they plan their important annual Year-End function. A function is usually held to celebrate something, or to close off a year of progress and production, and its one chance people get to dress up a bit and enjoy the evening outside of the everyday working-environment.

Functions are usually held in the evening, when it’s appropriate for everyone to dress up in evening-wear, and the evening usually has a theme to it, or the décor is made to fit it all, or just a bit more smart and formal. It’s many a times an award ceremony as well, to congratulate those who had outstanding achievements in their fields. All of those, from the small details on the tables, which adds to the atmosphere of the event, to the awards being handed out, to everyone having a great time afterwards dancing and socializing, are captured by us, as we are constantly aware of the events as the evening progresses, and we make sure to give you a product that sums your special function, in good-quality images.

Year-end photography

Certain different cultural- or religious groups have different ceremonies, functions or practices that are important to them, and a special event in a person of Catholic faith’s life, is when they get to have their first Holy Communion at their church. Kids grow so fast, and this is one of those moments, where you as a parent suddenly realize how quickly they are growing older, when they already get to be part of their first Communion, and understand the meaning behind it a bit more.

Most special events, require good photographs, and there would be no-one more equipped that a professional studio, to capture those kinds of photos, so that the day can be remembered with fondness. With such events like these, it’s held n a church, many of which don’t have a big amount of natural light that flows in, therefore we use good external flashes with our cameras to have everyone be carefully lit and well exposed.

We always try and get all the details and make sure we capture the event from start to finish. We try and accommodate our clients as far as we can, and go the extra mile even if not always expected of us, we believe in not just good service but great service and believe that our clients can trust us with their memories, it is after all what we live and breathe.
