Emily and I short a natural light studio series a little while back. Her doggie chose to join in the session. The images came out beautifully soft with the afternoon light coming in from the back of the studio through our curtains.

MATERNITY SHOOT
With Kiki
I met and photographed Kiki in 2016 when she was about 7.5monnths Preggie. She had an absolute obsession with sunflowers and most of her shoot incorporated them.
I shot a small series of maternity portraits of beautiful Romy in studio just a month or so before she gave birth to her twins via an emergency c-section at Kingsbury Hospital.

Pregnancy & Birth: This is Jacky
My beautiful sister Jacky fell pregnant with her first daughter in 2008. She was one of the first pregnant figures I worked with and I documented her a total of about seven times during her two pregnancies.
I shot a small series of images of her in our Grandmothers shawl (below and above pictures), as well as a series of silhouettes, images with her husband and with her daughters (during pregnancy & after birth). Here are a selection of the ones I find most special.
My Sister is the second oldest of the younger tier of our (female dominated) family on my Mothers side and was the first to have children, two daughters, confirming a recent comment about our family as “A Coven of Women” (which makes me smile).
I regret not documenting her first daughters “birth-day” but was terribly sick at the time and only got to photograph her a while later.
During Jacky’s second pregnancy I documented her in studio and on the beach with her little girl.
They stood on the beach for me, early one morning, when Jacky was about eight months pregnant.
Windswept on a beautiful Cape Town day these images are memorable for the sweet moments they shared talking about the soon-to-be new member of their family.
We shot a series of the two in studio, all soft natural light. I’ve realised how much I prefer a more “honest” and natural approach to documenting this kind of subject matter, thus I will almost always use available light and or outdoor spaces.
Her second babe arrived in June 2011 and I photographed their first moments together just hours after birth. Jacky stared at each perfect little piece of her while I captured these moments.
