A little WILD ONE is turning ONE! 🦁🌿

And what better way to celebrate than with a jungle full of animals, a birthday cake and one very curious little explorer?

From the cheeky monkeys and giraffes to the greenery and soft earthy colours, this safari-inspired setup was such a fun one to photograph!

I love creating birthday setups that are full of little details while still keeping the birthday boy or girl the star of the show.

And this little guy certainly had plenty of expressions for the camera! 🤎

Just a tiny baby, a little teddy, and one very quiet moment. 🤍

These are the photographs I love most — simple, warm, and focused on baby exactly as they are.

No fuss. No need for too much. Just those tiny hands, sleepy features and the little details that change far too quickly.

Two little personalities. Two birthday cakes. ONE big milestone! 🎂🎂💚

What's better than celebrating a first birthday? Celebrating TWO!

These adorable twins came to my Pretoria studio for their first birthday cake smash, and what a sweet little celebration it was!

We started with some gorgeous portraits of the two together (those matching denim outfits! 🥹), followed by individual photos before bringing out the cakes.

And then the fun really began!

Two cakes, lots of icing and two very different little personalities enjoying their moment in the spotlight.

Because even when you share a birthday, you deserve your own special memories. 💚

One of the questions I hear all the time:

“I don't know how to pose. Will my maternity photos still look good?”

Absolutely.

You do not arrive knowing where to put your hands, how to stand or what angle photographs best. That is my job. 😊

I guide you throughout the session so you can relax and enjoy it.

You only need to bring the bump. ❤️

You don't only have to photograph the “big” occasions.

Sometimes sitting up by themselves is enough.

Sometimes two tiny teeth are enough.

Sometimes that hilarious gummy smile is enough.

Childhood is made up of little milestones. ❤️

The eyelashes.

The tiny toes.

The little milk-drunk mouth.

The fingers that wrap around just one of yours.

Those are the details you think you could never forget.

And then they grow. 🤍

That is why I photograph the little things too.

Okay, I’ll admit it… I’m going to brag a little. Because when your own daughter looks THIS beautiful at her matric farewell, you’re allowed to. ❤️

My beautiful girl. I’ve photographed thousands of people over the years, but somehow my own children remain my most difficult clients. 😂

Apparently having a mother who has been a photographer for years does NOT mean you trust her judgement.

“Stand there.”
“Why?”
“Turn your shoulder.”
“Like THIS?”
“No.”
“Mom, I AM turning it.”
“Chin down a little.”
“My chin IS down.”
“Okay, just look at me.”
The look I receive could end a small country.

And naturally, every suggestion from me is questionable… until someone else suggests exactly the same thing. Then suddenly it’s brilliant. 😂

But somewhere between the eye rolls, negotiations, me saying “just ONE more” approximately 47 times, and her reminding me that this was HER matric farewell and not one of my photoshoots… we got these.

And goodness, she looked beautiful.

I’m incredibly proud of the young woman she has become. Strong, beautiful, independent, stubborn enough to keep me humble, and very clearly capable of having her own opinion about absolutely everything.

Would I photograph her again?

Absolutely.

Would she willingly let me?

That remains to be seen. 😂

My beautiful girl on her matric farewell. One of my favourite shoots… with unquestionably my most difficult client. ❤️
