The job that we have involves so many wonderful things, and it’s always exciting, as things always happen, progresses, and we get to meet new clients all the time. We find all of our clients so unique and interested, as we see how about everyone wants their shoot a certain way, or have different things in mind, or the family itself is differently put together. Some people are much les inhibited and laugh and joke with each, wrestling and teasing each other endlessly. Others find themselves a bit more only a while into the shoot, and relax as they see how we interact with them, their children, and pose and direct them in such ways, to only get the best out of their family, which could consists out of absolutely anybody, young, small etc.
Service is something we constantly discuss, to have systems and certain rules in place, to always make the experience for everyone as enjoyable as possible, and to have you realize that our studio always strives for the best, and is proud to provide you with an excellent product.
Having had over 400 shoots last year, we mixed, mingled, interacted and liaised with quite a big variety of people, getting to know them a little, forming a bond, and having the wonderful pleasure of return clients, who used our studio specifically because they know what a decent, high-quality product they will receive here at Louise Diesel Photography

It’s always wonderful to be part of the excited and a bit anxious milieu where the ride if getting dressed before her-and her husband to be’s big moment. The bridesmaids are having fun together and giggling about something, and the bride is making sure she looks like a million bucks, because it’s quite a daunting idea knowing that not only will your smiling groom have his eyes on you, the whole of the room will as well.
Luckily brides are filled with the situational butterflies, and her eyes are sparkling in anyway. We always make sure to spend that little bit of time with the bride before she gets in the car, to get a few intimate and personal portraits of her. She’s glowing and lovely, and very beautiful in her dress, and these things are what make a wedding so much fun to shoot, because it’s a day filled with beauty and love, and our job is to sneak in all of these precious moments that will make your package just that much more amazing.

Weddings can be quite a stressful affair, when in actual fact it really shouldn’t be. The couple we photographed recently, truly took the whole day as it came, in their stride, which is exactly as it should be. They had known each other for many years already, and had the best chemistry together. There weren’t a dry eye in the house left when he said his vows to her, and just told her he’s loved her for so long, and he’ll keep on loving her, forever. It was such a great moment, and we fully enjoyed their wedding.
Weddings are nothing but extremely special, and we get to photograph enough of them to see how so many people put their own unique touch to it. The décor is always important, this is what makes your wedding unique and gives its its flair, and we capture all of that so that you can remember the amount of planning you’ve put into it.
Weddings are wonderful events; the air is filled with the motion of love, especially if you have a couple, totally crazy about each other. Have your wedding photographs done by Louise Diesel Photography, and you’ll be sure to get a dedicated team that will capture every moment of your special day.

All of our clients comment on how fabulous our jobs must be. And although it is like any other with its drawback and benefits, it certainly has the most amazing perks, with the honestly and sincerity that little kids bring – definitely being one of them.
Kids bring their ultimate selves to a shoot, and a kid who isn’t feeling well on the day, will show you such. They always give hundred percent of themselves, and because there is nothing sweeter than the sincere smile of a child, we do everything but about stand on our heads to get them to smile.
Our studio do what we’d like to call interactive posing, where we get the whole family present, to join into the shoot, by doing a lot of tickling and joking around to get those giggles out of them. When we grow up, somewhere along the line we lose that innocent way of just being. Kids are such a big source of joy to us, and we enjoy shoots with them tremendously. Bring the family to Louise Diesel photography, for a great family shoot, filled with fun and sincere laughs, and a memory that fills you with joy.

I truly enjoyed this couple, because of the fact that they are differently put together that most. Mommy-to-be is a very petite Caucasian lady with a small frame and only this beautiful bump in front of her. Proud daddy is dark and big-built, and completely in love with her wife. They are expecting twins soon, and we can’t wait to welcome them to the studio when they arrive. When we get interesting couples like these we enjoy the interesting images that come from that shoot, and we love that fact that we were able to use Mom’s small frame, and Dad’s big darker arms to frame her so tenderly.
A maternity shoot is a very special shoot, especially for couples like these who had been trying for awhile to get pregnant and now have their chance to see their double blessing being born. Being pregnant might not always be glamorous, but when at a time when it’s starting to feel very real now, and close to the big day, it’s a great idea to have photos taken of your tummy. It’s nature’s best shape by far, and we get to use lovely lighting to accentuate that feature to its best.
Have your maternity shoot done at Louise Diesel Photography studio, The Real Life Studio, for a special experience for parents to be.

We truly wish more people would realize the significance and special value of a maternity shoot, for Mommies- and Daddies to be. Not only is it a fun shoot for us – because it’s in actual fact very artistic and technical at the same time, we get to provide you with a product, which will have you remember the special time of pregnancy, and the preparation for baby on its way.
The Maternity shoot at Louise Diesel photography, is a shoot done with so much care and level of expertise, because we know every woman wants to look great in photos, and we use our lighting strategically, so that nothing but her beautiful pregnant glow shines through. It’s the final step before your little one arrives and you get to bring them for their own special time in the studio.
A baby is a gift, and we treat that as such, and we’re always amazed as to how fast they actually grow and change. So bring your little one in for their first shoot when still small and tiny, and you’ll always remember that newborn look, that goes away after awhile. Come and have a stunning shoot done in our studios, and we’ll get to connect with you on a level that will make you feel comfortable with using the studio’s services time and time again.

With all the terrible things that happen in this world, it might as well be balanced by our little people – our kids. Kids are the cutest, and the moment they talk they get to say the funniest things. We enjoy little kids tremendously, and they sure as hell make us work for it. Kids rule the world, and when they don’t want to, they don’t want to. At Louise Diesel Photography, we fully believe, in having your shoot be a pleasant, enjoyable experience for you, which you’ll fondly remember.
Babies and kiddies still hold the true, honest way of the world in their little hands, as they cannot fake who they are, they are always 100% themselves, even if that be a bit shy, or a bit crazy, or very giggly.
We always entertain our little clients with as much enthusiasm as we can muster, because a kid’s smile is one of the most precious things to capture. You want to look back at you photos and remember your baby’s milestone, the times when they only had gums to smile at you, or when they started walking and still had a waddle to their step.
Remember all of these special times with baby and your small children, at LDP.

“The shoot was so much fun thanks to Louise and Riani who managed to get smiles from everyone including a very tetchy 10 month old and a sulky 6 year old!
We had so many beautiful photos, it was impossible to choose –we ended up getting all of them!”
