The Gorgeous Glover Girls...

I love it when families are excited about their shoot: clothes have been carefully chosen, a plan has been made to keep little ones occupied... and these gorgeous girls even came ready with creative ideas and some seriously great props: I loved it! And to top all of that off, the sun broke through the weekend's clouds to give us the most beautiful golden light - and then disappeared again soon after we were done.  

Shoots like this one simply reinforce my feelings that photographing families is such a blessing; being able to capture something of the essence of each personality and the way each person fits, is so very, very special.  Thank you Glover Family for allowing me to spend a fun afternoon with you.

Location: Kleineroosboom Wine Farm, Durbanville.  

Tayla introduces her family...

It all began with this shoot... the excitement and anticipation of waiting for Tayla's arrival...

...and then she arrived, charmed her way into everybody's hearts and became The Cutest Little Girl.  Ever.

It's pretty easy to see how she has not just her Mommy & Daddy (especially her Daddy) wrapped around her little finger - but her entire extended family too!  

{Please note my new logo: Tayla's super talented Mom, Kim, designed it for me - I love it!}

True Heroes...

This is one truly remarkable family; am so humbled by their story... already a family of five, when parents Amrei & Gerhard heard about three kids needing a house of safety, they opened their home.  Three months later, they are the proud (if a little exhausted) parents of six beautiful children!  Its incredible to see the children flourish as they learn about what love truly is... and have their lives changed by the love and goodness of God.

It was such an honour being able to take this family's photos & pray all of God's greatest blessings upon each of them
