Let me start off by telling you how grateful Louise and I am for getting the great opportunity of doing a shoot for TOP BILLING which was broadcasted on National TV and for the chance to meet and photograph Lady Lira and her wonderfully dynamic family 
TO everyone who has helped and supported my passion I am forever grateful to each and everyone of you!
As all of you know by now we did an Unconventional Family Photoshoot for multi-SAMA-award winning Lady Lira and her Mom and Baby Sister. WOW did we have fun. But let me start at the beginning…
Louise and I had to leave at the crack of dawn for our profesisonal studio because we had been advised to be “camera-ready” and so had gotten the help of a Make-Up artist to make us look “natural & camera-ready” If you know me you will have noted that I don’t wear make-up except Mascara and on the off chance Base. So everytime I have to sit and have a make-up artist do my make-up for me it’s a whole big story 
Lady Lira’s make-up artist and wardrobe stylist arrived first and the camera crew’s followed shortly on their heels. Lady Lira is such a free-spirit and let me tell you she has both feet planted firmly on the ground. (Her mom is such an inspirational woman and made sure Lira has her priorities right) 
We shared so many laughs during this dynamic family photoshoot… We incorporate something I like to call interactive posing which consists in guiding Lira and her family rather that formally posing your them. 
We put some great music on to play in the background (Lady Lira’s new CD ) and then we got her and her mom to sing and dance to it. According to Lira’s mother, Lady Lira used to sing with the wooden spoon when she was little probably hinting at what her life passion is… 
At this year’s SAMA awards held at the Sun City Resort just outside Johannesburg Afro-Soul artist Lady Lira took home the night’s big award – album of the year – along with three other SAMAs including female artist of the year and best adult contemporary album: English.
An extract from Lady Lira’s website “For Lira ‘Soul In Mind’ is the album’s key track. “It’s a very sincere song and it the one song that gave birth to everything else on the album,” she says Lira may be a South African style icon, and a young woman who relishes the playful aspects of living, but she thinks deeply about life – and the responsibility of being an artist with a now established fanbase. “My music has to be empowering,” Lira says, with real force. “I am very, very conscious of that – especially growing up in Africa. I don’t want to bring anything negative into my music yet do that in way that is not preachy.”
The unconventional family photoshoot for TOP BILLING was absolutely magical and we enjoyed spending the day with you Lira and your wonderful family! Keep following your heart as you do!
Riani & Louise

Hey, Lady
The first time I heard “Feel Good” I know that you were ment to sing and you are a winner. My son bought me your DVD and my little daughter just love’s it. She dance till she drops, especially where you wave your dress. Almost forgot that my man loves you to bits, if you know what I mean. We just love you, please don’t change being you, stay as you are coz you are so GROUNDED & CULTURED.

Hello Lira.
I bought your dvd nd i am driving my family insane because i watch over and over and over again. I know every ooh and aah of your songs, even the words you say when you interact with the crowds. There is only one thing that comes to my mind when i watch your dvd and that is “WORLD CLASS PERFORMANCE”! You are very talented Lira and you make proud to a South African! Well done to you! You are going places – that is for damn sure!

Customer Testimonial
We truly LOVE our photo’s. They are just so GORGEOUS. All of our photographs turned out more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. They look amazing. You captured the feelings and the beauty in every photo. We had so many to choose from. Jordan is growing and changing so fast, but they truly capture that special time of when he was a newborn. Now that it's gone forever, I will always look at your pictures...
