Ruth du Toit & Family | Beach session | Struisbaai
Such a beautiful photoshoot done of Ruth and her family in Struisbaai at the beach. Ruth is also a wedding photographer and her work is amazing. Go and have a look under Ruth du Toit Photography.

In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities. János Arany
I made friends with Ruth from Ruth du Toit Photography at a SA Weddings Event in Johannesburg, and I have been following her wedding and lifestyle work for a while now. And amazingly when we were in Struisbaai, she said she will be there and asked if I would like to photograph her family on the beach...and obviously I jumped up and said yes...and oh she took some of my family as well!
See the photos Ruth took of our family here: CLICK
She has such a beautiful family and I just loved making them run on the beach. And what I love about those photos is that as a person you can't think too much how you want to stand or how you look....all you can think about is to run....so you look as natural as you can be and for me that is when you look your best. No pretensions...just fun and laughter with your family! Same goes for the jump photos!
Enjoy the photos and leave a comment at the end please!
Nicolas & Greer | E-session | Llandudno & Clifton Beach
Wow, I have always wanted to do an engagement shoot at one of the beaches in Cape Town, and I got to do Nicolas & Greer's session at two of the most famous and beautiful beaches, Llandudno & Clifton. We did the shoot at 6am in the morning, and the light was magical!

Wow, I have always wanted to do an engagement shoot at one of the beaches in Cape Town, and I got to do Nicolas & Greer's session at two of the most famous and beautiful beaches, Llandudno & Clifton Beach. We did the shoot at 6am in the morning, and the light was magical!
I got to know Greer from a recent corporate shoot I did in Johannesburg, and she said she will be in Cape Town and she said she wanted to do an engagement shoot. I obviously jumped at the occasion and said I will gladly do your session...and wow...they are just magical! I had a blast. The weather was perfect at 6am and we had Llandudno and Clifton Beach all to ourselves. I always liked the quality of light early in the morning especially just before sunrise, but wow...the light was out of this world. I will definitely recommend doing a morning shoot at Llandudno. When the sunrays enter the beach at around 6:30am...magic happens!
Nicolas and Greer are such down-to-earth people, and easy to photograph...made my job super easy...and they are just gorgeous...I can almost print every photo on Vogue's front cover!

Charlene & family | Mini Photo Sessions | Cape Agulhas Lighthouse
I had so much fun doing mini photo sessions at the Cape Agulhas Lighthouse! It is such a beautiful location and Charlene and her family looked absolutely gorgeous!
“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” —Jane Howard
Charlene said she does a photoshoot each year with her family, and this year she wanted photos in Struisbaai. Charlene and Jandre is from Namibia, and they are on holiday in Struisbaai with their kids.
Their youngest, Ethan, is roughly the same age as my son Lian...and wow...he is a brave and fearless little boy! Ethan was a bit ecstatic during the shoot...but that is what I love...I love interaction. It seemed Ethan liked me from the word go, because he came running after me and interacted so spontanuous in front of the camera! I just love the emotion is those photos...Charlene and Jandre got a bit anxious after a bit....and he got a hiding during the shoot...but I loved his energy! He reminded me of my son. He seem to be a go-getter and not afraid of anything. Just love his people skills...I mean he made friends with me, a total stranger, in a matter of seconds!
I just love to do shoots at the Cape Agulhas Lighthouse! So beautiful!

Mandie & family | Mini Photo Sessions | Cape Agulhas Lighthouse
I had so much fun doing mini photo sessions at the Cape Agulhas Lighthouse! It is such a beautiful location and Mandie and her family looked absolutely gorgeous!
In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony. Friedrich Nietzche
I recently did a photoshoot with Mandie's sister Ankie for her Supper Club and when I advertised I was doing mini-sessions at the coast, that was when Ankie referred me to Mandie for a photo session.
Mandie and her family is from the Free State, and her husband is a farmer there. They were on holiday in Struisbaai and wanted photos done at the Lighthouse in Cape Agulhas, and wow...they looked smashing! I had so much fun....just love the ones with their little dog!

Lize & her beautiful family | Kleinbaai, Western Cape
I had a blast capturing Lize and her beautiful family in Kleinbaai. I didn't know it at the time of the shoot, but one of my school and Voortrekker friends is Lize's sister (Gerda), and she was my date to my Matric Farewell 14 years ago! Wow, such a small world!

Lize asked me to capture photos of her family while on holiday on Kleinbaai and I absolutely loved it! They are such a cool bunch of people....and good looking! The bond between sisters is so special, and I just love the photos of her and her 3 sisters. She currently lives in Zambia and it must be great to be together as a family in SA.
I didn't know it at the time of the shoot, but one of my school and Voortrekker friends is Lize's sister (Gerda), and she was my date to my Matric Farewell 14 years ago! Wow, such a small world!
Kleinbaai is next to Gansbaai, and also close to Hermanus, and its a hotspot for Shark Cage Diving. Lize's parents have a holiday home in Kleinbaai, and we decided to take photos at Onse Baai, a spot where the ocean crashes over the rocks...beautiful!

Wow, this photoshoot is one the cutest and most beautiful shoots I have done thus far. My niece and my daughter wore their mom's wedding dresses and the results are out of this world!

We believe selecting a wedding dress is more than just a fitting, it’s a process – a memory in the making. Olivelli Cape Town
My wife Juanita have been wanting to do this shoot for almost five years now. Her twin sister Zinette's daughter (Janke) is 5 years old and my wife have been wanting to arrange a photoshoot where Janke would pose in her mom's wedding dress, and fantasy became reality when my daughter was born...my wife knew her dream would come true, so she started to plan this photoshoot: Janke will wear her mom's wedding dress, and Ilé will sleep or lie on her mom Juanita's wedding dress.
Wow, I love the result....it is "OUT OF THIS WORLD!"
My wife made the flower crowns herself. She bought the flowers and the wire and tape necessary to make the crowns and watched a youtube video for instructions. Amazing.
The beautiful Glitter Sequins Hanger in Silver is from The Lovilee Shop.
Venue: Hertford Country Hotel
Zinette's wedding photos was done by the talented Christiaan David Photography and Janke is holding the album he made for them for their wedding! So special!

I had an amazing time with Simone and her daughter Riley. Riley is a serious busy-body, and she made the shoot very interesting...let's just say we couldn't really do what we wanted but more like what she wanted...she is super cute though! I just love kids and she reminded me of my son Lian. Very strong minded and not afraid what the world throws at them!
The following photo sums up the day. The one moment she is happy, and the next she makes a u-turn and runs the other way...Simone's face is priceless!
I had a shoot with Simone last year, and it was good catching up with her. Riley was almost 1 year old last year during our shoot and now almost 2...wow so many things happen in one year!
We did the shoot at the beautiful Sanparks Cape Agulhas Lighthouse, the most southernly lighthouse in Africa (amazing), and also the place where Simone and her husband Tyron did their wedding photos (I didn't know this, she told me when we were doing the photos).
We had amazing weather this holiday season thus far and we had just a little wind during the shoot ...I didn't plan for the wind but the crazy shots of the girls and their hair are super cool!

Tertius & Monique | E-session | Harmonie Proteas
I had a blast capturing young love between Tertius & Monique during their engagement session at Harmonie Proteas. They are gorgeous inside and out!

Song of Solomon 8:6-7a: Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away.
Wow, I just love going out to Harmonie Proteas for a photo shoot, especially after a few days of rain. Then the air is cleaner as usual, which make the sunsets next-level...and this place has some of the most prettiest sunsets I have seen in my life.
I had a blast with Tertius and Monique. They are sweet, down-to-earth souls. They had knowledge of each other throughout their lives, and they went to the same school but they never really had conversation, until recently. And after dating for roughly 3 months they got engaged. Tertius told me: "If you know the Lord has given your wife to you, why wait?" Wow, thats amazing. And even more impressive is the way they love each other. They are serious love-birds. Lets just say...it wasn't difficult for me to ask Tertius to kiss his bride-to-be...he is totally in love with his princess!
Monique rented a beautiful Silver Swallow Design Dress from Cocoberry.
I can't wait for their wedding next year at Memoire!

My kids | Christmas | Holiday Photography
I did a small Christmas themed fun shoot with my kids. My daughter is also 3 months old, so we did a photo with 3 balloons and one with Hundreds and Thousands...because she is One-in-a-Million!

“How do you spell 'love'?" - Piglet "You don't spell it...you feel it." - Pooh” Winnie the Pooh
I have said many times...being a dad is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I LOVE being a dad. Now that I have 2 kiddos...I never realised I could love this someone this much. I love my wife, but to love in action...I mean to see my wife with my kids...priceless magic, and it makes me even more in love with her! And then the to have those crazy days when you just want to sit in front of the TV and talk to no one...and then to have my little girl in my left arm and my son lying next to me...my heart wants to burst with love...I LOVE IT!
In any case, my little girl was 3 months old yesterday, and my wife and I are doing a little project where I take a photo of Ilê every month, in the same spot, but every time adding a balloon. So today I photographed her with 3 balloons...obviously because she is 3 months old...and a few with Hundreds and Thousands...because she is One-in-a-Million!
I also could not resist taking a few Festive Season or Christmas photos...and like always...my son is too curious and want to be included in the shoot. He surely is a "funny bunny" like I would call him. Ilé got tired of us taking photos, and Lian isn't the most calm little guy on the planet...so long story short...Ilé didn't get much sleep during the photos.
Ilé's beautiful outfit (in the photo with the balloons) was made by Fearfully and Wonderfully Made.
Enjoy the photos and please get in contact if you want to do a Festive Season or Christmas photo shoot!
Cute little Jessica | Family shoot | Morningside Park, JHB
Beautiful family portraits of Peter and Lauren, and their beautiful little girl, Jessica!
Cute little Jessica | Family shoot | Morningside Park, JHB
For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. Rosemonde Gerard
My wife (Juanita) is going a baby gym class for moms which was during and after her pregnancy with my daughter Ilé. Lauren is also going with her daughter Jessica, and they got to know each other and my wife had shown the pictures I had done of Ilé in her first month to Lauren, and she said to my wife that she really wanted to do a shoot with me...wow...I just love referrals...you get really amazing clients.
Lauren mentioned they know this amazing little park in Morningside, close to her mom's house, that we can use as the location, and what a GEM! Its next to the river, lots of rocks and trees and its really well looked after. A few residents, which stay in the vacinity of the park, has a key to the gate and if you want to make use of the park, you need to make a small donation towards the upkeep of the park...really amazing!
Peter and Lauren, you little princess is so adorable! Lots of blessings, and hopefully you will have great nights of sleep ahead!
Enjoy the photos, and please leave a comment at the end!
Enchanted forest engagement | Chantelle & Kyle | Johannesburg
I just love it when clients trust me to do something a little different. Chantelle & Kyle's fairytale engagement shoot at Bryanston Pine Forest was so cool!
Enchanted forest engagement | Chantelle & Kyle | Johannesburg
The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels. Hazrat Inayat Khan
I just love it when clients trust me to do something a little different. Chantelle is working in the creative industry as a freelance designer and art director, and she wanted a fairytale type shoot. She told me that has this vintage dress she wanted to wear which in fact was used as a wedding dress by several weddings in her family. This dress later on became a costume for dress up parties, and I believe she looked amazing in this dress. Chantelle really looked like a fairy princess in that dress, and Kyle looked great as well. We started the shoot with Chantelle in a midi dress, and ended with the vintage wedding dress.
She also said she loves dramatic and colorful makeup, and Shelley from Butterfly Blush did such an amazing job doing her make-up.
It was the first time I arranged for the make-up to be done at my home, and it worked out quite well. Bryanston Pine Forest don't have a place or venue to get dressed or do make-up, so it just made sense to do it at my home.
I have bought a plastic tube (or fluorescent tube protector) and a flashlight and I want to start doing #Tubestories. Go check out this link: EricPare...this guy is insanely good. I showed the tube to Kyle and he said, why don't you try this on us? I was like...good idea! It didn't work out completely as I would have hoped, because you need complete darkness to achieve a great shot, but we got to play around a bit. That is what is great when you have people who trusts you...you can test new ideas on them as models, and they really enjoyed it.
We had some of the coldest weather this year in November...super weird. I mean we had 50cm of snow in some parts of South Africa, and firstly it doesn't really snow here and secondly we had some serious snow. So the morning of the shoot I almost cancelled due to the weather being so cold, but I am so glad we didn't. The afternoon was a little warmer, and I actually loved the eerie weather in the end...helped with the theme for the shoot!

Wow, I just love going out to Harmonie Proteas for a photo shoot, especially after a few days of rain. Then the air is cleaner as usual, which make the sunsets next-level...and this place has some of the most prettiest sunsets I have seen in my life.
I had a good week. Francois, Tertius' dad, made an enquiry on my website, he phoned to set up a meeting, which we had at Starbucks at Mall of Africa, and they booked me for their wedding in May next year. And we did their engagement shoot today...wow what a week...I wish all my bookings happens this efficiently!
I had a blast with Tertius and Monique. They are sweet, down-to-earth souls.

a Father's love for his daughters | Father's Day | Hertford Country Hotel
A beautiful family shoot with Chandni and Kavita and their father Dave at Hertford Country Hotel. A father's love for his daughters is endless!
a Father's love for his daughters | Father's Day | Hertford Country Hotel
To a father growing old, nothing is dearer than a daughter. - Euripides
I have been wanting to do a shoot for a while where I can try to capture a glimpse into the love a father has for his children. My daughter Ilé has been born since the #sneakpeak of this photoshoot, and she has just been a blessing and joy to our family. So my love as a father has doubled by having two children.
I hosted a competition on my Facebook page and Chandni was the winner of the Father's Day shoot. Her sister, Kavita, also entered and they nominated their dad, Devdas (or Dave), for the BEST DAD IN THE WORLD...and this what they have to say about their dad: dad:
Chandni: To me he is the greatest man that has ever set foot on this earth. He has taught us many life lessons, inspired each of his children to be better than they ever thought possible and supported us completely in every journey we have taken. He is the one person who will always be there. No judgements, no questions asked. This was done to not only his children but with friends and family as well. This has taught me what true love really is. Love u to the ends of the earth dad!!!
Kavita: You are the best dad ever! You've always worked hard to put us first in life and you've never said no to us for anything in life. You always give us your unconditional support in everything that we do and you're always there to motivate us to be our best. As a girl growing up, you were my super man and always will be. Love you lots Dad!
Wow, inspirational stuff! I can truly see that their dad is a great guy, and during the shoot I could see he has this grace about him. He is sure of himself, and he is absolutely in love with his two daughters.
Dave is a cattle farmer in Middelburg, so I wanted to do the shoot on a farm (which is fairly difficult to find in Johannesburg) but I knew The Hertford Country Hotel has a little horse stable with two horses so this worked well for the farm element in the shoot. I just love doing shoots at the Hertford because there is so many different aspects to work with, and every shoot I do there looks different. Chandni and her sister had dungarees which they wanted to wear, and it worked perfectly in the shoot, and when they added the "cowboy" hats it finished off the look I was aiming for.
A smile starts on the lips, a grin spreads to the eyes, a chuckle comes from the belly; but a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, overflows, and bubbles all around. - Carolyn Birmingham
I think I am a funny person but my wife Juanita doesn't necessarily share the sentiment. Chandni on the other hand cracked herself for my jokes. I always try and make my clients laugh naturally in front of my camera. I believe it produces natural smiles and authentic moments, rather than asking my clients to "fake" laugh and the moment isn't authentic and it looks unnatural. I also believe that they have a light spirit, meaning they find joy in life and laugh frequently with each other. Their hearts are full of joy, so I think it wasn't difficult to make them laugh as much as they did in front of the camera. :)
Enough said. Enjoy the photos and please leave a comment at the end.
Linda's family | Family session | Midrand, Johannesburg
I had a blast capturing the joy and energy of Linda and her family. I just love family photography on location.
Linda's family | Family session | Midrand, Johannesburg
God's dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family, that we are made for togetherness, for goodness, and for compassion. Desmond Tutu
I just love big families, and I love capturing the essence of how much love there is in a family. Linda's family is no different. I just loved how the grandparents are central in the family and how the focus was also around the grandkids...and what a lovely bunch of kids! I just know how much grandkids mean to grandparents...I mean...I really enjoy seeing my dad with my children...you get a glimpse of what it was like when I was a little boy.
One of my passions are children and to capture the joy and energy of children. I especially love it when I can bring a little character out of some kids who are too shy to perform in front of the camera. I feel so liberated when kids relax in front of the camera, and I get a glimpse of their true self...and that is such a privilege to capture on camera!

Christiaan & Mireille | Engagement shoot | Delta Park, Randburg
I loved the engagement shoot I did with Christiaan & Mireille! These two are serious love birds, and I loved the chemistry between them...make for crazy beautiful and authentic photos!
As God by creation made two of one, so again by marriage He made one of two. Thomas Adam
I love it when clients make me feel comfortable as well. I mean, I always go out of my way to make my clients feel comfortable, but sometimes I get a little anxious because I need to concentrate on creating a relaxed atmosphere...but when my clients are super relaxed I am super relaxed. Christiaan and Mireille are such clients...so basically they allowed and trusted me to be super creative...I mean the photo above is a in-camera double exposure. It was done with photoshop, and I love the result!
Christiaan and Mireille are getting married at Morrels Boutique Venue in Linden, Johannesburg, and I am unfortunately not the wedding photographer. They already have a photographer, but they really wanted to their engagement shoot with me. They are both easy going people, and love the outdoors and nature a lot, so we did their shoot at the beautiful Delta Park in Randburg!
A crazy funny thing happened during the shoot. I made them stand underneath a Jacaranda tree and while I was directing them how to stand, a random dog entered the frame of the shot and made a poo...I mean you only see these things on Facebook...hilarious! Mireille told me when we finished, I MUST share that photo on Facebook...and I did. See here....we cracked up with laughter!
