McAlpine. Family, South Africa

Adele — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:14:35 +0000

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.

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.

Abigail and the Bathtub. South Africa

Adele — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:39:43 +0000

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.

Schulenburg, Family – South Africa | Part 2

Adele — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:21:57 +0000

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

Adele — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 15:58:47 +0000

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

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.

Family | Newborn | Child – Album

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.

My Abigail.

Adele — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:50:32 +0000

Abigail, I need you to stop growing up so fast.

Please stay my little girl forEVER.

Mommy loves you so much.

Hester Family, Newborn

I am so excited about these images. Do you recognize this beautiful family? I did Josh & Jeni’s Maternity session a few months back, since then they welcomed baby C into this world. She is absolutely gorgeous! I had a wonderful time photographing your new baby girl. I hope that she will bring you endless joy!

These images were shot in the new Natural light studio in Downtown Tacoma. I am so excited to shoot more session here.
