The world is full of horrible things as it is, and whenever you might have the chance to have tremendous fun, rather you take that chance. A couple shoot with our studio, is one of the greatest times you’ll ever have, its bucket loads of joy.

We ultimately want each and every client to remember their shoot with a smile on their face, not matter how difficult their children were, or that Grandpa didn’t want to smile, there are special elements to every shoot, and every shoot consists out of delightful memories that you can look back on, shaking your head and remembering the madness. In a couple shoot we not only try and get the bond of the two people in the relationship present, we also try to get a bit of a humoristic view of them, something they’ll enjoy looking back at.

We us photographers become very closely linked to any subject we photograph, whether it be a piece of cake, or people, but people can respond and reciprocate and give you a piece of themselves as well. Come and enjoy a couple shoot with our studio, and remember the special attraction that had you come together with that person in the first place.

 Couple Photoshoots

We get to form a bond with families visiting us for the second or third time, and we have had the opportunity to photograph some families on even more than third occasions. We are very proud of the fact that we produce good products for clients, which is what makes them return and keep us in mind when they want another shoot done, whether it be in the studio with their families, or and event they are attending or organized and want some pictures of.

This family has been with us for their Maternity shoot and we fell in love with their personalities immediately. After their beautiful baby boy was born, they brought him back where we had the chance to give them the first professional photos of their little miracle, and Riani did such an amazing job with him.

Our Maternity/Newborn package is a favorite and quite a roaring success. It makes us as photographers form a bond with the new parents, and we will always have our clients back for more and more amazing shoots – more memories to be treasured.

Pregnancy and Newborn baby photos

It’s the summer months again, which means we don’t have to be too cooped up in our homes anymore, we can get to enjoy the outside a bit more, which just makes us all feel more alive. The moment summer arrives, we get to take more boudoir shoots, as it seems the winter want few women to feel so exposed. You have a bit of colour now, and you just feel so much more ready for it, when it’s not so icy cold.

Boudoir shoots is a shoot with under- or pretty nightwear, and these items always photograph so lovely. It’s usually made of lace or silk, and it has a way, of shimmering when the light falls on it, or it’s made of colourful cotton, and every woman looks great when she has beautiful underwear on.

Our shoots are of the highest quality, taken with good professional equipment and qualified photographers, but also because we understand how nerve-wrecking it must be for any women to get into their underwear for a shoot. We always do our very best to get you as comfortable as possible, and we always take our photos so strategically, that the light falls on all the right places, to give you a product that will truly amaze you.

Sometimes, when we are in the studio, and we do what we do here in such huge masses of shoots – it’s just good to get back to a raw way of shooting, and shoot whatever it might be that catches your attention, or something you thought spoke to you in a way.

My colleague and I, spent some time in good old Johannesburg traffic the other day, and it just so happened to be my most favourite time of day, right before actual sunset when you have this glaring sun at about eyelevel right in front of you, and it makes for warm, rich colours and long shadows.

I am very much a city girl; I love the energy of a city, and feed of it, as it feeds of off me. One of photographers’ cheap thrills, is to take our camera’s, and literally getting the freedom to take photos of whatever we like, whatever we enjoy, and we all have different likes and appeals. Cityscapes have always been a fancy of mine, and it’s a wonderful feeling to get a great cityscape at the time of day when the colour in the sky, is beautiful. To all inspiring photographers, even professionals, hobbyists or those just trying the art out, go and have fun, this world is our playground.

Professional photography

Any event is being held for some sort of significant reason, to either celebrate a significant occurrence, like a milestone or special birthday, or it can be in the shape of conferences or seminars that are being held to inform a group of people about a certain product, or growth of some sort for example. LDP was the photographers for the famous Baby Sense Seminar’s, sponsored by Johnson’s & Johnson’s. These seminars are held over the country as great informative workshops for expecting parents.

Baby Sense provided a whole day of interesting and needy information, which were able to apt new-, or expectant parents on all the important ways of caring for- and providing in the needs of new babies. Event photography requires good equipment, as they are mostly held in conference rooms- or halls, which does not always provide for natural light, and have mostly tungsten lighting set-ups. High-end cameras provide enough detail and good quality images still in those conditions. When used with a good camera flash, we are still able to have correctly lit crowds and speakers.

Our studio has been photographing events for years, and we know what to look for, and what might be important to event coordinators. We also make sure to get the right information needed from the person in charge so that we understand their brief correctly, so that we’re able to provide our clients with the best product.

Pro event photography

We had a husband phoning us recently, telling us just how amazingly beautiful his wife is, and that he wants to honour who she is by giving her a modeling shoot. We thought that very sweet of him, and were very excited to meet him, and the beautiful wife he couldn’t seem to speak enough of.

The couple was so adorable together, and although he wasn’t keen on being in any of the photos, he was very pleased with the result of hers, and we could see how pleased he was that he had decided to book this shoot for her. With our modeling packages we offer, we always try and explain to clients that you don’t have to be a professional model with lots of experience in posing to have a great shoot, we basically mean that we as photographers will guide you well in what you need to do, and that we’ll make sure you get great images even if you aren’t professional.

It’s such a great idea to what to show yourself, or your loved one how amazing you, or they, can look on a photo taken by professionals, and we pride ourselves in taken images, and presenting you with a product, that will leave you in awe of yourself and your beauty.

Modeling Portfolio Photography

Looking at your two year old toddler can you ever really remember how small she was…?  Not really, and if you take a look at your precious newborn photos taken in baby’s first three weeks it’s astonishing to see just how much they have grown!

They start out as precious tiny little miracles who need all your love and support and finally start growing into this independent little person who still needs your love and support, just in a very different way.  Anyone with toddler experience will know all about giving your toddler a chance to try something themselves (cos they want to and even though you know they can’t yet do it themselves you stand close by and help when they ask) 

With our pro newborn baby photography we truly aim to capture the magic of every frown and yawn, capturing the very essence of this beautiful new life you so cherish.  We understand that it’s a life changing event to have this little person who is now the biggest part of your world, and I think that is why it is just so special.  Using your hands in some photos we try to “add scale” to show just how small they really are, so that in years to come when they are almost just as tall as you, you will look back at these photos  and remember just how they started out.

We would love to meet your newest addition to the family, and so for more information don’t hesitate to contact our friendly photographers at 011-869-7759
