Isn’t this just the most contagious smile you’ve ever seen? Goodness me, I could not stop smiling while editing this session.

Say hello to the McAlpine Family. I am lucky enough that my Sister in law arranged this session for her sister as a gift. Isn’t that just the best gift? I spend a late afternoon with them, and the sun peeked through for us just a few minutes.. it’s my favorite time of the day to shoot and I think we got some really amazing images.

I had to use that bathtub for one more session.. at least both Wilhelm and Abigail were completely fascinated by this bathtub in the middle of nowhere.

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’ve always wanted to photograph Abigail in an old bathtub. One day I walked through my Mom’s shed and saw this bathtub. I immediately told her I want to take it out to the field and photograph Abigail in it. She just looked at me and said.. “Ok”.

Here’s little Abigail, she turned 4 in December. My heart is aching every single time in see her in some of my Images.. it’s proof, she growing. I know I say this every single time, but maybe it’s because she is my only child that I can’t stand the fact that she is growing up. She loves South Africa, the wide open spaces… warm sun, and non stop attention from all of my family members has her hooked on Africa.

I will be back in the US on the 22nd of February. I have some big news coming too.
