Celebrate Love - Heart the Desert Rose Project



It is the First day of the second month of 2012. We have settled in and found our groove. February is the month of Love and the time to show your love to the people closest to you or to the clients that Love you.

To celebrate the month of Love, Tendai & I, decided to run our special on the Desert Rose Hangers. Buy any two hangers and receive a free heart hanger.

This special promotion will run until the end of February 2012.

Carol & Scott - It’s a boy!

I love Cape Town! I am sure most Cape Town-ions will agree with me. It felt like Summer holiday when I shot Carol & Scott’s maternity photo session. The smell of the ocean, warm afternoon sun, people out doing exercise and playing putt-putt at Sea Point’s legendary course.

Carol is a very talented ceramist and teacher at the Barbara Jackson Ceramics Studio, Cape Town. I started classes in April and every week I could see how her tummy grew. My ceramics skills are also still growing. ;)

Carol & Scott, congratulations on becoming parents-to-be. You two will make awesome parents. Thank you for a relaxed afternoon playing and exploring through Green Point Park and Sea Point. I had so much fun.































Plakkies! My favourite x















Green Point Park is a must see :)

Connor - little Mr Perfect

I have had the privilege to “meet” Connor before he made his grand appearance. After three shoots at different stages, I realized that Connor has a special place in my heart. Connor is 7 months old. He has the most gorgeous eyes and is such a chilled out baby. Probably because of his perfectly matched parents, Yvette and Craig. I am very happy for you guys and want to say congratulations yet again.

Yvette & Craig’s Connor

Little Connor made his appearance on the 9th of June. Yvette and Craig, his parents, did a maternity shoot with me in May. http://www.ysp.co.za/blog/2010/05/28/yvette-craig/

Congratulations you guys!!! Connor is so beautiful, may he bring much love and happiness to your lives. I thought you were excited at the maternity shoot when I first met you, but now with Connor I can see it is a whole new level of love and excitement.

Connor, it was such a pleasure to finally meet you.

Madré se Maternity Shoot

Madré en ek kom al van 2002 af saam. Ons het Fotografie saam geswot by City Varsity.
Een keer per jaar maak ons ‘n punt daarvan om ‘n koffie saam te gaan drink, nie net omdat ons so ver uitmekaar bly nie, maar omdat ons vriendskap so goed is dat tyd nie regtig ‘n faktor speel nie. Ons gaan net altyd aan waar ons laas opgehou het.

Madré en Jacques verwag hul eersteling. So, hierdie jaar was great, nie net het ons koffie en lekker tuisgemaakte appeltert geniet nie, ons het sommer ‘n shoot ook gedoen. Die babakamer lyk stunning en al die speelgoedjies en kleretjies staan gereed. Sulke klein sokkies, mens kan nie
glo dis bedoel vir regte voetjies nie.

Baie geluk Madré en Jacques, julle gaan ongelooflike goeie ouers wees. Ek het dit al agt jaar terug geweet. ;)




















































Yvette & Craig

I really love my job. Reason to follow…

Yvette and Craig are soon to be first time parents. When I met them the morning of the shoot, I could see the excitement and happiness in their eyes. Yvette was glowing and very relaxed. Through the whole shoot, they made jokes and taught me some things about pregnancy I did not know.

Life is so precious and short and when I experienced Yvette and Craig’s love towards each other and their obvious anticipation of the newborn to come and change their lives in the near future, I realized, WOW, for an hour I could share all of this with them. Yvette and Craig, good luck with Connor’s soon appearance, may he bring so much happiness and love into your lives.
