This was the first time I’ve done a photo shoot at a harbour amongst boats and yachts. It was absolutely fantastic. I managed to get some photos unlike anything I’d done before. I shot Ayesha and Zayd’s wedding a few years back, and now they asked me to do their maternity shoot.

I loved the Stahl family’s matching outfits. The colour scheme worked well with the backdrop, and their smiles were infectious. We started on the pier and then went down onto the beach for some fun shots.

The Sibley family gathered on the beach for their family photo shoot. It was a fun afternoon, and they were up for anything I suggested. Their kindness was a welcome relief from the daily grind!

The McCormick family were happy to be all together because they all live in different parts of the world. They came together for a holiday and decided to have a family photo shoot at their favourite spot. They were a lovely family to shoot for.

The Van Staden family had their holiday family shoot at their favourite spot on the beach. It was all smiles until a wave came and knocked both kids off their feet, which resulted in tears and ultimately signalled the end of the shoot. Luckily, we got some great shots beforehand!

It was one of the windiest days of the year when I met the Munro family on the beach. It was overcast, too, which can be nice for close-up portraits but not so good when you want to show off your sunny holiday by the sea. They didn’t let that stop them having fun.

The Mokaedi family were expecting their new addition in a month, so to mark the pregnancy, they decided on a maternity/family shoot. They were kind and lovely to work with, and I wished them all the best with their new adventure.

The Qina family had their first family photo shoot with me. They wanted a lovely outdoor location in the countryside, so we met at my favourite spot up the road. They had such bright smiles and were happy to be there.

The Francisco family were on holiday at the beach and asked me to do a photoshoot for them. We started by the lighthouse and then made our way onto the sand and rocks. I set up a shot where they were all spread out equally. I think it worked well!

The Fiorito family are Canadian. They were on a trip to adopt a new baby and booked a photo shoot with me to take back home. They told me they’d gone through heaps of paperwork and interviews, and finally, it was all settled, and they could go back home with their new addition.
