I love this family. I am almost ashamed to say that I dragged them across a big grass field to take these Images. I adore these so much. Cheryl and Moaka are amazing parents. So calm and understanding its amazing. I feel so lucky that they trusted me enough to document not only their Maternity session but also the Newborn session. I love love love natural settings for both Maternity and Newborn.

Cheryl thank you so much for all your little details. They were perfect.

This little bundle was born on a Sunday morning.. why do I remember this? Well because I was photographing one of our other friends that morning and the cellphone rang. The only thing I could make out from Tania’s conversation is that it was Lielie on the other line, and she wanted to know if Tania knew something about Marika giving birth.. hiehie!

I was delighted for 2 reasons. 1. Marika and Brian now have a healthy brand new bundle of joy. 2. I will get to photograph princess O’Reilly.

When I thought about doing a newborn session, I didn’t want to go back to doing the traditional thing. (I love the traditional thing, but wanted something different) I told Marika, lets get a big Iron bed and place it in the middle of the field…. and well when that didn’t work out. Walking in the middle of the field just had to do, and If I have to say so myself. I think these Images could not have turned out better.

Congratulations Brian and Marika, I wish you all the best with your journey as parents. Please come visit us in the states?
