Oh my sweet little blog, how I miss you! And I have things to share, I promise… I just don’t have time right now to get stuck into personal images. But it’s not to say that this is a bad thing! We’re crazy busy, but it’s a good busy… a fulfilling and exciting busy. One of my bestest-friends-ever came over for a week to visit and we went on a road trip, as we do when we get together (you can see the second last one here). Plus we also got to go to Terceira Island in the Azores recently,…
Because sometimes you just need to eat grilled sausage and stare at the sea…
Some of my favourite detail shots from an engagement session we did recently… see the full post HERE.
A few more photos from South Africa… These were taken at an open-air restaurant near Langebaan (on the West Coast) on our trip back home from camping (I blogged the camping photos here). “Die Standloper” is a pretty unique spot, I’m sure that there aren’t many places like it in the world. It is quite literally right on the beach and everything is outdoors, the cooking, the buffets, the tables… Fishing nets provide shade above your head and beach sand is beneath your feet… all the food is cooked over an open flame and served in enamel utensils, knifes and…
We’re not even halfway through the year and I am already failing miserably in my intentions to post here more regularly… it’s a sad truth that I still have photos from South Africa that haven’t even been edited yet, nevermind blogged… Anyway, maybe I’ll get to them one day, but for now, here are some rainy photos, because good grief, we haven’t had quite enough rain recently! Luckily our clients are of the very bravest kind and in spite of the miserable weather since we got back to Portugal (3 rainy weddings and several other shoots) they have all been…
The Neigbourgoods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock, Cape Town is a Saturday morning gourmet food market that is really awesome until about 10:30am… and then you suddenly can’t move anymore because the rest of Cape Town has rolled out of bed. The food is wonderful, the vendors are (mostly) all the nicest bunch of people, who are passionate about what they do and could talk to you for hours about their products, but the key to enjoying this market and getting the most out of what it has to offer is in getting there early… I have…
We’re off south again, to spend some time with friends and family, catch up on the tan and shoot a wedding in Ceres, our first South African wedding, and what better spot than in that mystical valley from the back of a juice box! For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, it’s ok, you’re not alone… Cape Town, here I come!!
I have pretty bad eyesight, in that I am extremely shortsighted… have been since I was 7 years old, I was that kid at school with the ugly thick glasses, you know, the one who should have been really shy and quiet, so as to avoid being picked on, except I was loud and pretty obnoxious, which didn’t work too well for me in the picked on department. I guess I should have thought that strategy through a bit more… Either way, I wear contact lenses now, and I’m still pretty obnoxious, but getting better with age… and this is what…
I am a big follower of foodie blogs, for the food, obviously, but also for the photography. Every time I spend 5 minutes on Pinterest I discover another deliciously photographed food blog that joins my list of favourites… This Apple Sharlotka is from Smitten Kitchen, a blog I have been following for some time now, and the recipes and photos never fail to inspire. I changed a few things from the original… switching white sugar for soft brown (because it was all I had) I used the seeds of half a vanilla pod instead of vanilla extract (because I was…
