Here I go and spread my wings...

Today marks the start of an amazing journey for me.
Today I took a step into the future.
Today I followed my dream.
Today I am a self-employed photographer.

An invigorating and yet terrifying feeling, standing at the edge of my nest.
I have spread my wings - and now it's time to fly.
And not only will I fly...but I will soar! :)

Colours of summer

A lazy Sunday afternoon was spent at the park with this family. Everyone beginning to wind down the weekend to start a fresh new week. Their daughter, Catherine, was such a cutie in her pink flower dress. Mum and dad, (Kerri and Donovan), looked happy and content as they played with her and we got the most gorgeous expressions out of her, especially the 'shock factor' face!

I love giving people their photographs as I really get inspired by their reactions and expressions. Their email to me after they had seen the photos gave me goosebumps - they said that both of them got very teared up after seeing them. That's why I love doing this - when I get those responses from people, it completely drives & motivates me!

Tanya's Hen Party

Sun, cocktails, pool, flower leis, PVC police hats, lingerie and bikinis...
Hen partys - they're always full of fun and laughter and of course, spoiling the bride-to-be! Tanya is going to make a gorgeous bride and wish her all the very best for her big day!

My Journey so far...

In case you didn't realise - I am very passionate about photography. :) Most of you that know me, expect the camera to be brought out at least once in the day. It's been an exciting, scary and amazing journey to get where I am now. I have some people who I want to thank and credit for inspiring me or encouraging me or helping me, even if they didn't know it.

Gerrie and Marika Wedding

Gerrie and Marika are such an amazing couple. Totally in love, totally welcoming, and totally beautiful! When I arrived where Marika was getting ready, I was blown away by how gorgeous she looked and how friendly her family are. I love experiencing the room full of emotion and excitement, the tears that twinkle in eyes and the loving words which are exchanged. Even though I don't understand Afrikaans, it was so evident to see and hear the love in that room.

One of my favourite moments of a wedding is when the bride walks in - and her groom sees her for the first time - magical! I could tell Gerrie was even more blown away than me when I first saw her.

I had such a soft spot for their little flowergirl &pageboy - what cutie pies! I think we have a budding photographer in our midst - she may have taken more photos than I did! :)

Gerrie and Marika - may you have many years of happiness and love ahead of you. x

James 2nd Birthday

I can't resist food, and where better to have food but at a kids party - there's always delicious snacks and yummy cake! It was all decorated so pretty! Finding Nemo was the theme of the day.

I could tell James had an awesome time - it was his day and he jumped on his jumping castle til his heart was content.

Sneak peek

I'm so excited to share this wedding with you. So here's just a sneak peek for all those wanting to see... Keep checking for more from Marika and Gerrie's wedding soon.
