This little guy was having a really serious day, we didn’t get many smiles out of him despite us pulling out our funniest moves from behind the camera… but he for sure made us laugh with all his comical antics… like drinking his bath water and the funny faces he pulled at the bubbles :) Mom asked for some family pics, a pic with his nanny and his really big brother who is home from Cape Town during lockdown. I guess there are bright sides to lockdown!

My daughter pointed out to me the other day whilst I was editing this session that we have very few photos of us together. I was astounded when I thought of the fact that my children are the most precious people to me on this earth and yet I have very few photos of us together… I will have to rectify that! Moms are usually the ones behind the camera taking photos of the ones they love and never getting in the photos themselves.

The bond between a mother and her child is unlike any other. This pandemic, if anything has pointed out how life is truly precious and we often take for granted the time we have with those that mean the world to us.

Lindeni & Zemvelo…. these two are just too precious together and capturing the love they share just made my heart full 💕

“It is understood that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of any storm.
When a rainbow appears, it does not mean the storm never happened or that we are not still dealing with it’s aftermath.
It means that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover, but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy, and hope.”
