I have been madly editing the photos from Tamiya’s Maternity shoot so that I can get her cd off to her.  Her mom is coming all the way from Mauritius to visit and Tamiya REALLY wants to be able to show her mom all the photos.

I decided to “get creative” and try some new techniques and combine presets (used in Lightroom) with actions (used in Photoshop)

I think that no matter what I do, this “mom to be” looks amazing, don’t you?

Bump on a Golf Course

July 4, 2010

Tamiya won a weekend’s free accommodation at Badplaas Golf Club Guest House & Lodge via Facebook and Twitter.  She is 7 months pregnant with her second baby, so she could not join her hubby and friends playing golf.  We decided that since she was here we may as well do a “bump shoot”.  She has not done a maternity shoot before and I have not done a maternity shoot in veld surroundings, so it was a first for us both.

Here is a sample of what we took, I hope you like them Tamiya.  I’ll get the cd to you in the week so that your mom can see the photos while she is visiting you.

I loved spending time with you and getting to know you.  I really hope that once #plusone is born you can make it out here again and this time enjoy a round of golf.

MeeA’s Maternity Shoot

March 6, 2010

This morning I met up with @MeeAParkins for her maternity shoot. We didn’t really plan this, it was a last minute almost joking kind of arrangement.  When I was in Cape Town I did @acidicice maternity shoot and 24 hours later #babyice was born.  MeeA has been complaining for some time now that she is walking like a cowboy and it is time for #babyparkins to arrive.  I jokingly said perhaps I should do the shoot because I need the practice and she’ll probably go into labour when I’m done with her :P

I’m so pleased she took the offer, because we had a most wonderful time and a good few laughs.  It was also wonderful to get to know her better.  Here are some shots from this morning.  I hope you like them Meea.

@acidicice Maternity Shoot

February 26, 2010

As you all know I went to Cape Town in January to photograph my cousin’s wedding.  (Still no approval to post pics)  While chatting to @acidicice she mentioned that she would love to do a maternity shoot.  Never one to miss an opportunity I volunteerd immediately :P

After many frustrating hours with a pc that just refused to co-operate and finally breaking the budget to buy a new pc, here are some shots from the shoot.
