I just love maternity photography!!! It doesn’t matter how many times I photograph a pregnant woman, I get all sentimental and feel a connection to the unborn baby!! Maybe it’s because I love babies so much because I thought I would never have any of my own – who knows?? But I feel honoured every time I get to do a pregnancy photo shoot…..
I was lucky enough to do a maternity photo shoot for a lovely couple from Malawi the other day. They had come up to Johannesburg for a check-up and a major scan and their cousin organised for them to come for a maternity photoshoot while they were in town. As a result, Sonia was not as far as she would have liked to have been for the photos but her tummy was showing enough to capture the miracle of pregnancy (and the love between her and Miguel)

Hopefully, they will be back soon with their precious bundle so we can do a newborn photo shoot as well (and I can get to meet another newborn baby in person….) 

I went to my cousin’s wedding on Saturday at a lovely venue called Sun Valley Ranch (in the South of Johannesburg). I was fortunate enough to take some photographs at the wedding but by the time the music started and the champagne started flowing, I was no longer interested in wedding photographs. i was ready to PARTY (and party we did!!!)

I got to connect with old cousins (even met a few new distant cousins) and had a blast with all the girls at the bar. My wonderful aunt decided that all the girls should have a few shooters together, but no-one could decide on which one… my aunt then decided we should start at the top of the list and have every shooter on the list. Of course everyone thought this was a great idea (boy did we regret it the next morning!!! that song: “who’s sorry now??? who, who, who???” comes to mind – but hey, what do you expect from a Currie wedding)

It was such a fantastic wedding – I had such fun and so did my hubby (who after a few drinks takes on the role of photographer and catches all the ‘end-of-night pics’ which should never be photographed) Anyway, that’s what makes up our memories – wonderful moments with friends and family….

Thanks Angela and Darren for a wondeful wedding – Angela: you made the most beautiful bride (both on the outside and the inside) and Darren: where did you learn to dance like that??? Awesome!! May your marriage bring you as much love and joy and laughter as your wedding did!!

And thanks to all my wonderful family – aunts, uncles, cousins, distant cousins, etc – we hardly see each other but I love you all to bits and am grateful to have you in my life!!! Here’s to the next wedding – who’s it gonna be????
