My trip to Seattle {Travel}

I know I should have posted these sooner, but I always say better late than never, right? Here are some photos of me and the Cabanillas family, Phablo, Adele & Abigail Reese taking a day trip to Seattle. It was exactly what you would expect of Seattle...rainy and cold! But I suppose that adds to the experience, remembering Seattle as a sunny place would not quite give me the satisfaction of being in a place where it rains 6 months in a year. We went to the Farmers market and just walked around. It was pretty darn cold and very wet all over but a great outing. The photos of me were taken by the talented Adele from AbigailReese Photography (yes her business is named after her daughter (and my favourite girl in the world))!

And to make this post a little more special, Adele will be landing at O.R. Tambo tonight. Adele, WELCOME HOME! I know you are only staying a little while but we are so glad to have you back in SA!

Abigail {Travel & Fun}

When I was in Seattle with Adele, we went for a day trip just driving around and singing in the car. We went to Olympia and drove around till we saw a beautiful Cherry Blossom tree (ok we were actually looking at historical buildings, but the Cherry Blossom tree was WAAAAYYYY prettier). We took Abigail and went for a walk, of course I had my camera there ;) Here is a couple of the shots we got. Abigail is my favourite little girl in the whole world! I love you Abigail :) and I know she also loves me because the day I arrived in Seattle she said: "I love you Rinska!" (I LOVE HOW SHE PRONOUNCES MY NAME) it was, in fact, the first time she said I love you to anyone, that same day she told her mommy that she loved her too :D Her mommy was so proud!

The second part of the session. It was a really beautiful day in Vienna, first we went to the church where Sascha & Uschi got married one year ago. Then to the train station near their home - and from there we went to the historical parts of city centre. It was gorgeous! Thank you for the great day I got to spend with you guys.

Baby Victoria

I met Petra at the Hauke Family baptism. She wanted some photos of her baby girl, Victoria. Petra and I could not understand a word we said to one another, but non the less it was a real pleasure taking photos of her and Victoria. What a cutie pie.

Doris & Sandra

They have the souls of children! I just love doing what I do, these two beautiful, natural Europeans were just fantastic to photograph. Doris & Sandra have been friends for 11 years, and you can see how comfortable they are with being themselves. I just loved the session, the shoot was at Museum's Quarter in the city centre of Vienna, in the gardens and court. There were amazing textures and great backdrops. Sandra also took a couple of photos of me :) it was nice being in front for a bit - just to document that I have been to Austria.

Luca Part 2

Luca pulls the cutest little faces, it is so adorable! And when he sleeps he is so peaceful, when you see him you just know why one says I slept like a baby. I photographed Luca, his grandmother, Patricia, life partner Jozi and their dogs. Patricia and Jozi owns a reptile store, the are animal lovers - Tanya, Luca's mom had 2 lizards in her house, luckily they were behind glass (unfortunately I am not too fond of lizards - bad experience - a gecco fell on me once, eeeeeck!)

Tanya & Roger baptized their son, Luca on the 23rd of May 2010. Family and friends joined for the occasion at a stunning Catholic church in Vienna. Luca is such a gorgeous boy and looked so cute in his little outfit. After the ceremony, everyone went to Tanya's fathers' restaurant to celebrate, the detail for Luca's day was done perfectly and I even had the privilege to photograph him a couple of days later.

Here is the second part of the Hauke's family photos, this was the day after the Baptism. We went to a storage location next to a train rail. It was raining before we went to location, so first we took a couple of photos of the little man of the day, Christopher - what a happy baby, he has stunning humble eyes.

The Hauke family are, Ernst & Tina, with their 4 children, Matthias (the only son) with his wife Alexandra and son Christoper, and his three sisters; Katharina and her partner Andreas, Roswitha (known to everybody as Rose and or Hayley ;) and the youngest of the lot, Verena (I know what it is like to be a part of a cresch this big - fortunately for my I grew up being the only daughter, yes, spoiled rotten...and the bully in the house).

The Hauke Family are truly fantastic people and made me feel at home from the moment I walked through the door. Thank you for your kindness, hospitality and great heart(s)...oh and for the cookies and present ;) I hope you come and visit me soon in South Africa.
