On Friday I had the pleasure of photographing a “crazy” family that i know in studio…  None other than my older brother – Frans, sister-in-law – Mary-Ann and their 3 boys (yip you heard right…)  The twins Frans & Gerhard are turning 6 this year and Wian is turning 2.  We had loads of fun but boy was it hard work.

Take a minute and imagine how much boundless energy one little boy has, now take that knowledge and mutilply that by three then you know what I’m talking about.  So I braved the storm and try to do a photograph with all three of the boys, as soon as Wian looks at the camera one of the twins will look at Wian. 

The twins just adore their little brother which leads to a lot of hugging which Wian doesn’t always enjoy.  At his age there is a whole world out there that needs to be explored and no-one is allowed to stop me.  He wants to do everything for himself and is always investigating things.  As soon as mister toddler starts getting excited the twins pick up on it and they all just go hyper

But you know what boys will be boys, that is what makes them unique.  Now, my brother is really shy and always does this funny smile when being photographed (hmm, sounds just like me…) but we have our ways to get him to smile   

Mary-Ann is an avid scrapbooker (more like an addict, but anyway) and I’m sure she is going to love to scrapbook all of these family pics.  I think they just capture my family’s personalities so accurately..

 I can’t believe the twins are going to “big school next year (Laerskool President Steyn), it feels like yesterday that I was always telling people about my broteher’s identical twin babies. Enjoy dudes…!
