Gwen & John-Owen’s Beach Wedding

It was a beautiful day for Gwen & John-Owen’s intimate wedding ceremony on the beach in Umhlanga. Aside from being a little windy, it was a pretty perfect afternoon. These two are so sweet and in love it was such fun getting creative with them after the ceremony. Congrats to you both and thank you so much for having me be a part of your special day xx

NOURISH with Nature

In part two of our Nourish series, Jacqui shares the benefits eating and using food for nourishing our winter skins. You’re welcome xx HONEY: Skin Moisturizer – Honey, when mixed with eggs and some flour, is an effective skin moisturizer. Best of all, it is gently formulated, so it can be used by people with sensitive skin. Mix four tablespoons of honey with a couple of egg whites and a few tablespoons of flour, depending on your desired consistency. Stir the mixture until it thickens. When the mixture is ready, you can use it as a hand and body lotion or a moisturizing face mask, eliminating the effects of dry skin. Antiseptic – Honey happens to contain a good amount of the chemical. It only needs to be released by diluting the substance in water or body fluids. When applied on an open wound, the glucose, contained by honey, is diluted and gradually releases hydrogen peroxide. The substance facilitates your wound’s faster healing. Due to its viscous consistency, it also prevents wounds from sticking to the dressing and the appearance of scars. Acne Remover – Honey might be a gentle skin moisturizer but it is certainly tough on acne. With constant exposure […]

NOURISH [winter skin and body care]

It’s important to change your routine as soon as you notice even slight differences to it. I got in touch with Jacqui from Accentuate Hair and Makeup to get some tips to nourish ourselves this winter, this is what she had to say. As your skin loses more natural oils and becomes drier and dehydrated you will need to compensate by changing your skincare routine. Even if you are oily, you will still need to ensure your skin is well cared for and nourished. Oily skins will benefit from a lotion rather than a cream. Drier and more mature skins will need to change to a heavier duty cream and of course eye and face serums. Remember to keep you lips nice and hydrated too, lipstick never looks good on dry lips. Exfoliate twice a week to get rid of all the dead skin and allow your nourishing products to sink in – this goes for face and body. Up your water intake, a well hydrated body really does plump out the fine lines and enhance your natural glow. I have more to tell you on this subject, including some incredible MAC products and natural ways to nourish your […]

Annabel Kruger’s Christening

I was asked to photograph Annabel’s Greek Christening a few weeks ago. At first I was unsure what to expect, but as soon as I chatted to Annabel’s mum Nicole, I knew it was going to be beautiful. So special to have been a part of such an important part of a little life. Congratulations Annabel, and to Leon and Nicole for such a beautiful, happy little girl.

Bohemian Beatnik [Styled Shoot]

I find that styled shoots are a great way to ‘refresh’ my creativity, what’s difficult about them though, is to focus when you have so much pretty to look at. I’m kind of like a magpie to these things. So here we are, a small selection of what the team and I got up to at the beautiful Old Halliwell Country Inn a few weeks ago, enjoy. Massive thank you to Kimberly from Natural Nostalgia for putting it all together, so great to work with you my friend – you are so talented! Belle & Bravado, can’t thank you enough for the three gorgeous dresses and head pieces.

Did a bit of a test shoot with the beautiful Chelsea, testing out a new idea of teaching portraiture and creative photography. More to come on this toward the end of the year. Exciting!

Steph & Josh [E-Shoot]

We spent such a fun morning with Josh and Steph at the Kiazer Chiefs training grounds in Jozi a few weekends back, they are quite evidently soccer crazy so the location really added some fun. Josh is the (I hope I get this right) fitness coach for the team and wow what amazing facilities, kind of makes you proud. Apart from being really gorgeous and the setting, this couple are fun loving and passionate, hopefully you can tell by the images. I cannot wait to shoot their wedding! Congrats you two xx
