I last photographed this lovely family a year ago when Nicholas was just 4 months old. Now he's an active, busy toddler - in his element playing in mud, splashing in puddles and playing on tractors on a wine farm in Constantia.

I did a shoot with Delmari and Gerrit when Eben was still a toddler - now they have a beautiful new addition to the family. These guys really do make beautiful kids.

Ursula and Luke are 2 of the most stoked parents I've seen, it was so gorgeous to witness. Who would blame them with the scrumptious deliciousness of Bella? Our planned beach shoot got well and truly rained out but we still managed to grab a few shots outdoors.

Cisk and 'Stof' are beautiful friends who I have had the priviledge of knowing for quite some time. Their little girl, Hannah, is gorgeous with her intense eyes and strawberry blonde hair.

It has been so great to watch Isla grow from a tiny baba to a gorgeous one year old girl... it never ceases to amaze me how much kids transform in their first year of life.

I've known Kirsty and Richard for a long time now and it has been really cool to see them become parents to David, who is one of the sweetest little baby boys on this planet.

I photographed Karen and Bruce's wedding 3 years ago (as well as an awesome post wedding shoot at Imizamo Yethu)and now they have the most gorgeous and super-intelligent little girl, Rotem.

This shot make me want to laugh out loud:

I last saw Portia and Anthon at their wedding in Franschhoek 3 years ago and now they have a beautiful little girl, Freya. While I was in London a few weeks ago, we met up at Green Park on a mild winter's day.

Susanne, Goran, Alice and Oscar  were over from Sweden for a couple of weeks in January. Such a gorgeous family!

I don't usually photograph kids parties - let's face it, weddings are tame in comparison. But when Thabo approached me a while ago and suggested flying me out to London for Nia and Lerato's combined birthday party, I didn't have to think twice about it. Firstly, they're an awesome family whom I adore and secondly, I adore London which feels like a second home to me.

Birthday girl no 1:

I shot Anthea and Alex's wedding a few years ago and now they have an addition - the most gorgeous Baby Leo. Edible indeed.

I have loved watching this family grow from just Gerard and Sandra, to the 4 of them. Jenna Rae was just 7 days old when we did this shoot. There is nothing quite so precious and mind-boggling as a new life. Thank you guys for letting me into your home to witness these amazing moments.

Around this time last year I photographed Dian in Roxy's tummy. Now he is a scrumptious 10 month old baba, with big blue eyes and a ready smile. You guys are beautiful together as a family.

Livvy is a GORGEOUS one year old baba with so much hair! I adore photographing little kiddles but what I also love seeing is the absolute beauty and selflessness of motherhood.

I photographed Janice and John's wedding last September and not long after, they discovered that Emma was on the way. They stay on a small-holding outside of Cape Town so we had to incorporate some of the 'extended' family into the photos.

Lulu-Anabel has changed so much since last year and she will soon have a sibling joining her! She still looks fab in her pink sunglasses!

It's hard to believe that 6 months have gone by so quickly since I last saw little Isla.

Regular blog stalkers will recognise Neil and Jacqui from their wedding nearly two years ago. I love seeing couples who are amazing together become even more amazing together as a family. Jacqui was a beautiful bride and I think even more beautiful as a mother. Nick (aka Tigger) was an amazing model despite being dragged around all over the place.

Baby Ivana is 8 months old and GORGEOUS. You'd think that hanging around Mikaela all day would make me all baby-ed out... but I can never get enough of bright-eyed, cherub-cheeked babalicious gorgeousness:
