Chrisjan & Juanita | Maternity | Bryanston Pine Forest
Chrisjan and Juanita is expecting and they looked smashing during their photos with me!
I had the privilege of capturing Chrisjan and Juanita’s wedding a few years ago, and now for their next milestone in life…their firstborn daughter is on the way! I call myself a lifestyle photography because I truly love documenting people’s milestones with beautiful photos. It’s almost like I am a part of their families, because I see how people get older and wiser, and also how families grow! Man, I love it.
Juanita is looking absolutely radiant and I know she said she is tired, but I truly doesn’t show. We went to the Bryanston Pine Forest for the photos, it is still one of my favourite place to shoot at.
I remember how Chrisjan used to look at his wife during the wedding, and especially during the photos. I mean this man is totally in love with his wife. NOTHING has changed…he is still completely in love with his wife! Just look at him…he can’t keep his eyes off of her!
Both of you are an inspiration, and I pray that Zion will be a fortress for people in need and that people will feel safe around her because of the presence of God.
Enjoy the photos, and thank you again for allowing me to capturing this milestone for you!

Enchanted forest engagement | Chantelle & Kyle | Johannesburg
I just love it when clients trust me to do something a little different. Chantelle & Kyle's fairytale engagement shoot at Bryanston Pine Forest was so cool!

I just love it when clients trust me to do something a little different. Chantelle is working in the creative industry as a freelance designer and art director, and she wanted a fairytale type shoot. She told me that has this vintage dress she wanted to wear which in fact was used as a wedding dress by several weddings in her family. This dress later on became a costume for dress up parties, and I believe she looked amazing in this dress. Chantelle really looked like a fairy princess in that dress, and Kyle looked great as well. We started the shoot with Chantelle in a midi dress, and ended with the vintage wedding dress.
She also said she loves dramatic and colorful makeup, and Shelley from Butterfly Blush did such an amazing job doing her make-up.
It was the first time I arranged for the make-up to be done at my home, and it worked out quite well. Bryanston Pine Forest don't have a place or venue to get dressed or do make-up, so it just made sense to do it at my home.
I have bought a plastic tube (or fluorescent tube protector) and a flashlight and I want to start doing #Tubestories. Go check out this link: EricPare...this guy is insanely good. I showed the tube to Kyle and he said, why don't you try this on us? I was like...good idea! It didn't work out completely as I would have hoped, because you need complete darkness to achieve a great shot, but we got to play around a bit. That is what is great when you have people who trusts you...you can test new ideas on them as models, and they really enjoyed it.
We had some of the coldest weather this year in November...super weird. I mean we had 50cm of snow in some parts of South Africa, and firstly it doesn't really snow here and secondly we had some serious snow. So the morning of the shoot I almost cancelled due to the weather being so cold, but I am so glad we didn't. The afternoon was a little warmer, and I actually loved the eerie weather in the end...helped with the theme for the shoot!

I am absolutely delighted to share a few photos from Chantelle & Kyle's engagement shoot at Bryanston Pine Forest.
We have had seriously cold weather these past few days, and Saturday was most probably the climax, and I almost cancelled due to the weather, but I am so glad we didn't cancel. The afternoon was a little warmer though, and I actually loved the eerie weather in the end...helped with the theme for the shoot!

I have bought a plastic tube and a flashlight and I want to start doing #Tubestories. Go check out this link: EricPare. So the last photo was done with that tube, but we tried doing the photo while it was still dusk so the light was too much...we ended improvising and we played around a bit...looks like Chantelle has a hat on with that shot! Next time I will attempt the photo in complete darkness!
