Meet this beautiful family. I have known both Zanelle and Stiaan for about 8 years now. We attended the same University, the University of Stellenbosh, in the Western Cape. I was so excited when Zanelle asked me to photograph their family, there is nothing more special to me, than to photograph old friends and their adorable new family member, Sebastiaan.

I flew to Cape Town and spend a weekend in Stellenbosh, the weather played along perfectly, and I am thrilled with the way this session turned out. Thank you Zanelle for inviting me to photograph your family. I wish you guys a Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2012. I hope to see you guys in the USA one of these days.

Location: Klein Constantia ( Where Stiaan is a wine agriculturist ). Klein Constantia is one of the most beautiful wine properties I have visited. If you ever get the chance, please do stop by and taste some of their amazing wines.

Aren’t they just gorgeous?! I photographed Lauren and Mommy a while back and I loved, loved, loved doing this session. I think any chance you get to be photographed with the ones you love is so so special. Daddy is in Afghanistan, and I can only imagine what a big treat these images will be to him.

Thank you Kate, for trusting me to capture these moments for you and Lauren. You are both gorgeous and I has a great time photographing you two.

Images were taken in Dupont, WA.

I am really excited to show this album off. I love creating albums for my Families. This is a sample album of a Newborn session I did a while back.

If you’ve had your Family photographed by me in the past, and might be interested in one of these guys, let me know.
