I had the pleasure of taking photographs of this family sometime ago. It was the mom’s birthday gift to herself, and I happily obliged. I had such fun taking these pics, and I think the fact that I am friends with this family, helped the kids relax and just be themselves in the photos.
Here are a few of my favourites.
Today I had the privilege of photographing baby Rita-Mari, a 3 week old bundle of squishiness and adorableness. I completely fell in love with her and managed to get a few gorgeous pics.
I’ve been trying to capture sunsets from our farm – but I always seem to get there too late or too early. I am loving the experimenting though 
Love how the sun just emphasises her glorious head of hair!
One of the upsides of living on a farm (apart from the stunning scenery and quiet) is that I get to ‘play’ with the newborn lambs. And when I say ‘play’ i use the term loosely. There is no ways that the mama’s are going to let you within an inch of their babies. They are fiercely protective and should you get too close they start stamping their feet and look like they will charge you at any moment.
But I managed to get quite close this morning – brand new sleeping lambs are the easiest as they are fast asleep.
Thanks for looking
Some of the photos I took when recently visiting Umngazi River Bungalows to meet my husband at the finish of the Imana Wild Ride 2011.
An absolute gem that that is well worth a visit should you ever be in the Eastern Cape. Click here for more info.
