with the patter of mole paws,
the scythe shined
in its rosary of cautious water drops.
ignited above the quince berries
as the snort of a rearing pony broke through,
bored with his rub-down—then the dream took over.
with you, your outline
was my hidden breath, your face
merged with my face, and the dark
upon the living few, amid heavenly
sounds, amid childish drums,
amid suspended globes of lightning

Of roses and gardens and a secret rendezvous
Monday, 26 May 2014
There are very few things as exciting as posting some
photos that you are just in love with... Soft, ethereal, dreamy... And not to
mention that we were in the most amazing greenhouse...
In the
Greenhouse Eugenio Motale 1896-1981
The lemon bushes overflowed
A dot, a ladybug,
Kidnapped, and weightless, I was drenched
idea of God descended
upon me, upon you, and over the lemons…

I am not a feminist but I do believe in beauty
and that EVERY woman should be empowered by her own vulnerability and beauty-

{Love} Smitten... part 1
Monday, 19 May 2014
A lot of planning and dreaming went into Werner and
Lize-mari’s {love} shoot and we are very
proud to present some of the first photos of those two exciting afternoons. This
part was all done at Rosemary Hill situated just outside Pretoria and the whole
shoot was built around romance, beauty, love and that little bit of whimsy we all carry with
us!
Smitten is the story of
two woodlands creatures torn between the joys of love and longing. We took
inspiration from Midsummer Night’s Dream with all its ethereal beauty, added
the beautiful Rosemary Hill and then of course a pinch of true {dust and dreams
PHOTOGRAPHY} soul and together with the gorgeous Lize-mari and Werner it was
easy to make magic!

Curious...??
Monday, 12 May 2014
Thousands of little crawling creatures are literally dancing
under our skin…. Yes, we are THAT excited about this amazing photo session we
did a few weeks ago but alas you will all have to wait as we will not indulge these
little crawling creatures and the photos will only be released in a little while….
We do however have a few behind the scenes picks just to make you even more
curious…

To photograph an old friend is such a privilege and so
exciting… but there is also a lot of pressure to capture the beautiful person
just as you know her and to try and portray a bit of her soul in the photos.
For Gizela we only needed an oversized men’s shirt, some
lippy and of course a great mane of ruffled hair.All these photos were taken in a very quick fifteen minute session just after 6 am one morning and she was a real rock star for being up for it so early!
Make sure to scroll down all the way to the bottom for our beautiful "painted lady".
Ps: You won’t believe that she is the mother of two boys.
