The Softer Sex
It was a cool and windy afternoon when I met Shelley and Richard up the West Coast, near Yzerfontein, for their maternity shoot.
By the time we got to the beach the sea had gone frothy and totally wild. Shelley was amazing,- with so little clothing on in the freezing conditions she carried on to help me pull of this beautiful series of natural light maternity portraits of her and her husband.
A selection of Shelley’s favourites now hang in little Kingston’s nursery bedroom.
I documented these portraits of Nadine and her family at Noordehoek Beach near Cape Town about a year or so ago. It was the second time I worked with the family and have since gone on to document them in their home town of Hamburg as well as back in Cape Town, each time as their family grows and changes.
I worked with Emily on a series of maternity shoots shot over three different spaces: The beach, the studio with natural lighting and the studio lit. These are the lit studio portraits from our second session.
Emily’s little doggy joined in all three parts of our shoot (also the natural light studio shoot and the beach shoot), so sweet!
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.
