Let’s face it, throw a bunch of girls together in the room and your stomach will get a proper work out…  Mrs M and all the girls found themselves all together on a family weekend and decided that this is the perfect opportuniy to have

family photos done together (when you have a big family this rarely happens and you have to cherish every moment)  As you can see from these beautiful family photos we had a lot of fun and laughter in the studio playing around with

unique and funky family poses and this was causing all the laughter.  We took family poses as James Bond, just everyone together and loads more.  I thoroughly enjoyed this family photoshoot and can’t wait ti do one just as exciting with my own family…

Today I photographed Mrs M who is 2 weeks away from giving birth to her beautiful baby girl   To me photos of pregnant women represent hope, new life and a little bit of magic.  I absolutely adore this photo, the hat was meant to serve as a traditional veil on her wedding day and so it has a truly special connection to her and this shoot.  Would you believe me if I told you that this gorgeous woman used to serve in the army… no…?  WEll believe it, pretty but tough!

Pregnancy Photography

It seems to me that there is a lot of parent out there who planned to have their babies in 2010 (soccer babies   ) Since this year has started we have been doing a lot of maternity photography as well as newborn photography.  Just the other day I had Mom, Dad & baby in the studio dresses in their soccer kits and baby wear soccer socks… too cute!  Taking photos when you are pregnant is not always something pregnant moms are sure they want to do.  We are women photographers so we have an understanding to how you feel about your changin body.  With creative lighting and flattering props (and just a tad of photoshop magic) we will make you look your absolute best…  So for more info contact us on 011 869 7759 or send us an email on info@louisedieselphotography.co.za

FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup South Africa Ladies and gentleman, today is officially 7 days left to the FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup in South-Africa! Can you believe it?! This time last year it was all just a distant dream and now it is

almost upon us. International Soccer teams, coaches and supporters are starting to arrive in South-Africa as from tomorrow. We thought it might be a good idea to celebrate this joyous occasion by having soccer photos taken

of your family in the soccer kit of whichever team you support. You will all be able to look back at these soccer supporter photos and know that you

were there!!! Bring your kids, flags from your soccer team, soccer kits and soccer balls, absolutely everything goes. For more information contact us on 011 869 7759 or send us an email on info@louisedieselphotography.co.za

To be a professional model you have to start with a photographic portfolio.  Various photos of yourself, close up face shots, full length etc.  These can be done at any professional photographic studio.  When you have your photos professionally done, it shows your agents that you are serious about your work.  Take Jamie-Lee for instance…  She is young and

very photogenic, she loves fashion and wants to design clothing some day so she thought it’d be a good place to start with the people who would be wearing the clothing items (now that makes sense)

Experimenting with photoshop textures When I first started working with photoshop I couldn’t understand how people can make beautiful works of art with all the different effects and tools. But now that I have been in the industry for years I understand that you have to work in different layers

(and play around with the opacity of every layer) I went in search of photoshop textures on the web this morning and got textures so beautiful they made my heart race  So I took my time playing around with different textures on different photos and these are the cool effects that I got out of it. As you can see there is a million variations that you can use. Anything from just changing the background to altering the whole look and feel of the image. The choice is yours!
