I have not met a prouder big sister 😁

Meet the Roux family. I have walked a journey with this family for 6 years and actually took Lila's new born photos. I love it when families trust me to document their growing familiy.
.
Now this answers your question... I do photograph New Born and Families... anything with people I guess🤔

Kind of still pinching myself of how insane these turned out when we had a massively storm wind that greeted us on arrival.
.
One balloon didn't make the trip down so we had to improvised the gender reveal. Turned out insane😲 Don't you think?

Shoots with a 4 legged musketeer... For the win🙌🙌🙌

Wouldn't you agree?

I kind of acted like a little kid when I saw these two again. I love it when life makes you cross paths not only once but 3 times

This is me. I laugh a lot. I talk a lot as well. So I promise you won't be bored at the shoot. But please don't get me started talking about sci fi or fantasy movies. I will probably go on for hours. ⁠

Okay yes I think it is time to confess...I am a Lord of Rings and Star Wars fan, those aren't the only movies but I could honestly picture myself living in one of those era's (or would I say worlds). Either way they're worlds apart🤣 oh my gosh I am just on a roll today. See what I mean⁠

Another confession: I am a super nerd with technology as well or would that make me a geek?⁠ I design websites on the side for small businesses and I am a qualified UX Designer. Jane of all trades🤣😂

Enough about me... Just wanted to bore you a little on this fine Wednesday.

There are a few moments that I can honestly say that have defined me as a photographer and I must say this wedding surely was one of those moments.

As a creative I always want to try new things in shoots, please trust me :) I climb over rocks and would get into the water with you (doesn't matter how cold) ... one thing though - Promise me you'll catch my camera if I fall, don't worry about me, I have always been a bit of a tom boy anyways.⁠
.⁠
Funny story mentioning this actually. I always had bruises as a child. I use to climb up the gutter pipe and then put my one foot on the roof when I was 4 years old and then scream for my mom to come help me onto the roof. Every time she took me down and not even 10minutes later I would be screaming again. ⁠

She got fed up and ordered a jungle gym. The delivery guy refused to deliver the jungle gym because I was too little according to the age restriction, but my mom told him this story and he didn't even hesitate. ⁠

One of my love languages is WORD OF AFFIRMATION. Who else can relate?
.
I know this is a weird thing to say but I totally reflect my love language onto others.
.
Tip to future clients:
You will probably feel like you are at a red carpet event and everyone is giving you compliments about your dress code, how amazing the lighting is reflecting on your skin or how insanely perfect you fit into the setting. This is basically what happens at my shoots in a nut shell...

Rated PG

It is no secret, I love animals. There are so many people that contact me and ask me if it is okay if their dog comes with... face-palm (there's no emoji for this)

You never have to ask if you can bring them with to a shoot. Just warn me before the time that I make sure I bring treats with

Can you guess what is the most amazing thing about my job?
.
Well let me tell you the fact that I can see light in a different way than most people can... That is kind of my superpower. The fact that I can look at one scenario and see something totally different... That is another superpower.
.
But my FAVOURITE thing about my job is the people I get to meet, the paths I get to walk (yes physically as well😂) and the insanely awesome locations I get to photograph at.
.
Who else can say their job is taking them places? 👇Would love to hear from you

Not kidding I am open for ideas during a shoot and will definitely give you freedom to also do what you want. I promise there will never be a moment where you go... "Uhm... What do you want us to do?". I talk a lot and if that doesn't make you feel comfortable do whatever does... Have a drink before the shoot, let me switch on some tunes to get you in the mood, climb a tree or bring your dog... Honestly anything goes😁

What do you want to be when you grow up?
.
I still remember when people use to ask me this, I use to ensure them that I will be a scientist😉 just kidding😂🤣 I honestly didn't know what I wanted to be...
.
I studied photography for 3 years and for 2 years after that I didn't pick up a camera. If it wasn't for my good friend @moirawestphotography I would not have fallen in love with weddings. So she's to thank for the wedding part and the photography part... Well THANK YOU to my granddad. I inherited his film cameras and still have them. I use to phone him to ask him about film and when cameras became digital that was pretty much our conversation every Sunday. He was over the moon when he heard I decided to go into Photography full time.
.
So let's get back to this part: One day when I grow up I will have a dark room to process film and if for whatever reason I am not in Photography as a career. I will definitely always be documenting the world around me.

When you meet clients for a coffee date and it feels like they have been a part of your inner circle for years

Now this is a story... I met these two for a coffee so they could tell me all about their special day. But in 5minutes it felt like I was meeting up for a catch up session with friends. I absolutely love it when life throws people like this in the mix.

Time to get real and tell you the truth
.
I'm 31 and I honestly feel like a spring chicken, but then when Instagram announced it was changing I felt like a granny😂. I was just starting to get use to this photo sharing app. But I guess change is as good as holiday.
.
I know you are never to old to learn something new. This is me just putting it out there: I'm prepared and will be trying my best.

Like @jailong.co stated. "Change is the only constant we have in business"
