Most companies hold events for various reason, sometimes it’s part of a teambuilding initiative, sometimes it’s to honour many staff members who had produced well during the year – whatever reason, your company’s annual event, year-end function, etc, is usually the sort of thing that bring the company together, it’s recollection a year that had gone by, and companies want pictures of these events, as it’s symbolic to what they had achieved. It’s in any situation a great idea to get professional photographs done by a studio who knows what they’re doing, especially when doing an event

Most events are held in the evening, and usually in an arena or hall decorated to theme, and made dark when speakers start to talk. You need to have cameras that are able to handle low-lighting situations well, and that will still give you good quality images even if there is not a lot of light available.

Louise Diesel Photography studio has had the privilege to photograph many functions, each one different and unique, and we have now had some experience with events and how they are put together, as many times there are entertainment, awards being given out etc. We shall take great care to capture the essence of your function or event, all details, and the speakers, and have you enjoy the evening knowing all professional photography, is being taken care of.

Professional event photography

When you know that professional photographers are able to use their lighting and equipment to create stunning images of people, you know the need we all have just to have great photos taken of ourselves. Many of us would say but we’re not professional models, and we wouldn’t know how to pose like professional models.

When we have enquiries about a portfolio shot, or someone just wanting to have good, professional photos taken of themselves, a shoot other than a family shoot, then we always assure them, that anyone can make a great “model”, and with good guidance from the photographer the person is transformed, and we get to capture some amazing and captivating images.

Modeling, and doing it for a profession, isn’t for everyone, and many people don’t even want that lifestyle, but we all know that nothing beats a great photo, and it’s a huge ego-boost, to see yourself shown in the most positive of ways, when a photographer does their magic, and makes of you something extraordinary.

Come and have a portfolio photo shoot at Louise Diesel Photography, The Real Life Studio.

Modeling photoshoot

When it’s the dead of winter, and it’s very cold, and the landscape is very dull outside, few people want to come out for a shoot that requires you taking your clothes off, and having some shots done in your gorgeous underwear. Boudoir shoots have been a trend that has taken by storm, and what an amazing ego-boost for any woman.

A boudoir shoot is a shoot done in mostly underwear, or beautiful nightclothes, and is all about celebrating the female form, and making magic of who you already are. In photography, we play with light and the way it bends, and shapes a subject. With a boudoir shoot, the lighting used is of such a nature, that it only accentuates the best of what you have, and shows your amazing shape, and we edit it in such a way, that it has a soft, mysterious look, exactly the thing to make your hubby want you more.

Be brave and have a boudoir shoot done at Louise Diesel Photography Studio, our studios are heated to make you feel at ease, and we use what you have to the best of our abilities, to amaze you with a gorgeous product.

Professional boudoir photoshoot

For very few people, we would know exactly what to buy as a gift for them. People have such different tastes and interests and it’s quite hard to tell what would be something that would be viable to them. A photo shoot as gift, is something that would work for absolutely anyone, no matter how their family is put together or what it consist out of.

We have the great privilege to work with an amazingly wide variety of people, each family different, each model unique, and they always enjoy the shoot tremendously. So a photo shoot gift voucher is the perfect gift, and a great idea, as everyone would want to have great photos of themselves taken, and have the chance to have fun in a professional photo studio.

We always take great care, to make sure everyone that visits our studio, know that we are professionals, using professional high-end cameras and equipment, and we use skill to technically create great images – but apart for everything, we connect with our clients, and they always feel like family to us. Treat yourself, or a loved one or friend, to a shoot at Louise Diesel Photography, The Real Life Studio, it’s the perfect gift, and will create a lifetime of memories.

Ideal Christmas presents

The backdrop in a studio isn’t necessarily the most comfortable place for most people. Most people, are quite intimidated by it, and do not know how to pose naturally. The camera has way of picking up anything artificial or pretentious, and will see when someone is forcing a smile, or their shoulders are in a stiff pose. We try and do everything that we can to make our clients comfortable in front of the camera, and our clients become our friends. In the while we spend with them, we get to form a bond, and something special is exchanged, as people now had to trust you with their image, and that you will make them look fantastic.

With our boudoir and nude-shoots, we get ladies of all ages coming to see how it all works, and we get to surprise them every time. We play with lighting and poses, and guide our “models” to pose in a way that is natural for them, and we see and judge what will work best for them, as we ultimately want to provide our clients with a quality product that they can be proud to show off, and feel comfortable with.

We urge anyone interested in having great photos taken of them, to try our style out at Louise Diesel Photography studio; we treat every shoot with sensitive care, and understand the concerns many women have about how they want to look on photos. Working with people, is a privilege as it opens one up to new boundaries and make you see how different we all are, that we all have different stories to tell, and we as photographers get to have the great opportunity to capture all of life’s stages.

Sensual boudoir photos

It’s interesting to think we all started off as small, tiny babies, who also couldn’t talk or walk at some point, having our parents make a fuss over us, and our grandparents even more so. A brand new newborn baby is the sweetest thing, and they have such amazing characteristics, one just has to take photos of it. Babies tend to lose that newborn look after awhile, they grow at a rapid rate and fill out becoming chubby and adorable.

We are very blessed to have formed some amazing bonds with the families of small babies who had comes for shoots over the years, as they are some of our clients who’ll always keep on coming back to visit us. Babies turn into cute little toddlers, and it’s amazing to see how the family’s dynamic has changed, and it’s time for a new shoot again.

We understand that babies rule the world, and therefore we do almost everything but stand on our heads to get your little one to smile. The whole shoot, should be an enjoyable experience for the whole family, something to remember, and we keep the atmosphere relaxed and calm, as we enjoy ourselves as well. We are in the wonderful, blessed position to have our passion, be our living careers and we pour that into everything we do at the studio.

We ensure that you’ll enjoy your shoot at Louise Diesel Photography studio, so bring your stunning newborn, so that we can capture their special entrance into the world.

 Photos of newborn babies

When we were little, every now and again, my Mother would bring out our albums, and we would sit and remember old times, great times and times that were. You could see how we grew as kids, and the small, and big milestones that had been captured. With so many events that form part of the journey of your life, having photos taken of it, is a great idea to remember it all by. Louise Diesel Photography studio is very equipped to photograph all sorts of functions, be it 21^st birthday parties, year-end functions, corporate events, weddings, etc.

We use high-end cameras that are able to handle low-lighting situations, as are mostly the cases with events that are held in the evenings, and e make sure to capture all the little details that had taken careful planning. Many parties or events have a theme or a certain look, or entertainment performers for the guests, and all of that took some planning to add to the atmosphere.

We had photographed quite a few 21^st birthday parties that had a photo booth going, which is a great idea to have people take relaxed, fun photos. The hosts can supply some props, and the guests enjoy getting dressed up in them and taking fun, casual and even some silly photos. If you had gone to so much trouble planning such a special event, go the extra mile and get professional photographers to capture your event’s essence.
