About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...
Last of the Summer Wine
April 29, 2010 // Children Personal

As the mornings become more nippy, I know winter's advancing into our corner of the world.

 

Even though the African winters are not that cold, I am not fond of wintry weather, in whatever shape or form.

 

Those few aspects of winter I do take pleasure in, however, are enjoying a glass of red wine, watching the glowing flames in our fireplace, slurping down a hot chunky broth (I love homemade soup) and the incredible shades of light this season brings.


Here's Oliver on his bike, along with that amazing winter light:

On another note we have had no power in our area for two whole days, so I am a little behind with emails, I will get there I promise.

After West African weather, believe me, South African winters are FREEEEZING! As for no power, time for SA to get used to generators. Love the light pouring down on to Oliver in the 2nd pic.

I must say Andrea, Have the neighbours not reported this strange woman running around the neighbourhood with a big camera?

Andrea Carlyle:

SA homes are not equipped for winter so it is indeed freeeeeeeezing, add into that equation some powercuts and you will realise why I am not that keen on the forecoming season. @ Paul ...who are you calling strange ;-) - I find my morning mullet, baggy eyes and "gucci" tracksuit tends to distract viewers from the black camera

Wow... great job!
Every time is a nice time to look on your website! Every time it brings a big smile on my face. Your work is stunning!!

And SA... I miss SA... not only the light, but also droe wors, biltong, savanna, droe mango, chutney, peppermintcrisp and lots of jelly tots ;-)
