Schulenburg. Family – South Africa

Adele — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:17:22 +0000

I’ve know Richard Schulenburg for all my life.. I remember being Abigail’s age and hanging out with the Schullies as we call them.. Over the next few weeks, I hope to blog all the Schulenburg Men and their Families. Meet Richard and his Family, oldest of 3 brothers.

The last image you’ll notice “De Loskop”, when I see that mountain it means “home” to me. The Schulenburg Family’s farms are located right at the foot of De Loskop.. and from where we live and my Family work, De Loskop is always in sight.

Thank you Madelein for all the effort you went through to put this session together. Even if the sun bailed on us.. I think these turned out gorgeous.

I adore this Family, we had the strongest wind I have ever photographed in.. thunder all around us and still everyone were so content and happy to do whatever I asked of them. It means so much to me when my clients trust me, I always have your best interest at heart, and really I capture images like I want my Family to be Photographed.

It’s so important to have your family photographed.. Pieter and Roelien, I hope you enjoy these images for the years to come. And thank you, so so much, I had a wonderful time with you guys.

Cloete Family. Cape Town, South Africa

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.

Adele Marie. Newborn

Adele — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:02:38 +0000

I was lucky enough to photograph this little girl (Adele) on the morning before I flew out to South Africa. Isn’t she just too adorable?

As many of you know, I am currently in South Africa and will be here until end of January. I am always available via email to my clients or anyone potentially interested in a session. Please note that my response time might be a little slower than usual.

Kate & Lauren. Mommy & Me.

Adele — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 22:08:55 +0000

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.

Adele — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 18:07:40 +0000

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.

Clay Family

This was my first time shooting in Downtown Tacoma, and who better than exploring what this city has to offer than one of my favorite families. Cayman has grown so much since I last saw him, and Porcha is just as beautiful as her mommy.

Thank you so much Tran Family for being so amazing to work with. I trust you will love these images as much as I do.

I also wanted to mention that I will now have a natural light studio in Downtown Tacoma, I am excited to what the future will bring, and really looking forward exploring & experiencing Tacoma.

Jones Family – Tacoma, WA

Adele — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 05:33:18 +0000

Let me tell you something, when I photograph a 2 – 3 year old Child I am honestly in my element. I love this age. 2 things you need to know when you book a session with a photographer with your 2 -3 year old. This is probably the most challenging age to photograph, but at the same time, the most rewarding.

Kai gave me a run for my money, she reminded me so much of my own little Abigail. She has such a strong personality, she’s at a age where they want to show their independence from Mom & Dad and explore what this wonderful interesting world has to offer. This is my favorite age, there is no pretending, no posing, just pure expressions & emotions.

Lee & Eric I adore these images, I think they captured Kai so perfectly at the stage and age she’s at in life. You have a beautiful family, I really enjoyed working with you guys. Thank you for allowing me to capture some memories for you.

Hunter Family – Dupont, WA

Adele — Sun, 15 May 2011 19:41:40 +0000

Look at this adorable and gorgeous family? I met Ben Hunter at a group run that I photographed, Wear Blue : Run to remember. (more about this group in my next blog post)

I was really so excited when he contacted me with the idea of buying his wife a family session as a Mother’s day gift. What a special gift, what Photographer would not be excited to be part of something that special. I get to photograph families and children almost every week, and I can’t tell you how much love I get to see. It truly inspires me to be a better person and a better mother.

Thank you Hunter Family for inviting me to photograph your family. Lori I hope that you enjoy these images and that it will always be a reminder of how much you are loved by your family.
