Meet the Mulders

This shoot is possibly my favourite family shoot yet. This might be a somewhat bias call, as Theo (the son) is one of my rock climbing partners, but it's unlikely, as I just loved the spontaneity of this shoot more than anything else. The colours seemed to work really well, the locations proved to be ideal, and the Mulder family were filled with joy and excitement. A dream shoot to me, is one in which the photographer is able to express themselves completely, without having to worry about being too atistic, or too "out there", and this shoot was exactly that for me. We did this shoot on the 5 January this year, which happened to be my first shoot of the year. I am hoping to keep this momentum. The whole family did exceptionally well in front of the camera, as you would have noticed by now, but I think Karlina (younger sister in green) takes out the win for "poser of the day", as she just seemed to nail every scene with perfect execution. Big thanks to Kayla Meyer for assisting me with lighting.  

Tam's Prego Roll

Fun and games with quality chocolate and powder paints! Congrats to Tamarin on her stalk delivery which is due around mid January. Tam is expecting a girl, who is to be named Charlie-Anne. I really enjoyed shooting this pregnancy shoot. Making a mess is totally underrated. By the looks of things Tam was also in her element. For the first few powder paint shots, I set my camera on a tripod with a slow shutter speed, to capture the motion blur of the paints mixing and moving on impact. We turned Tam's belly into a work of art:) Big thanks to James Lawrenson for being the paint pourer and for standing by as a midwife;) Big thanks to mother Bonnie for giving us permission to make a mess in her bedroom...I hope Tam did a good job of cleaning up after herself;) To Tam, I will continue to pray for a quick and painless delivery and for a very healthy baby!:)
