Adele & I

This post is definitely long over due, these were shot at the end of January this year...yup, I'm behind on my personal posts. If you don't know who Adele is, here is the story; We met our first year at Stellenbosch University, 2001 and became good friends. Adele is also a photographer, visit her blog here. At the moment she lives in Seattle, USA. Her husband is in the US Army so they move a lot, every year since 2008 I go visit them in the Sates, here are some photos that I took of their little family in 2008, Abigail is my favourite ;)

In January Adele came to visit me in Johnnesburg, when we decided to do a little spur-of-the-moment-shoot, it turned out to be, not only a lot of fun but it was ridiculously hilarious. Our abs were so sore at the end of our shoot, we found ourselves to be a little confused and did not know what to do, I'm sure a lot of photographers experience this, we are so used to being behind the lens that once in front of it, we go blank, we forget what to do. Adele and I just decided to be silly, laugh it off and act like kids - which is in fact what I love to do with my clients, once you have a little fun, you forget about the camera and just enjoy the moments you're in. I hope I can always be a little silly behind and in front of my lens.

The DJ’s

These 4 talented DJ's are from Austria, we went to a modern venue in Vienna to do the shoot. These guys were a lot of fun to be around :D

Tera Womack – US Soldier

I met Tera through Adele, they are neighbors in Lacey, WA. The day I left I asked Tera if I could do a mini shoot of her in her uniform, she works for the US Army, she is a WHATWHAT and ORGANIZES HER TROOPS TO WHATEVER. Tera is originally from Tennessee. She has that true southern accent, it is so cool, she sometimes would put it on as thick as she can, very country. She is a fitness junky and does PT every morning and in the afternoons she jogs or runs...a lot, I, on the other hand only run when being chased by an animal or maybe a very small grown up person, PLEASE DONT EVER CHASE ME :( I scream when being chased!
