Day Six | A Photo A Day

Took this while on a shoot this afternoon with a mom and son. More pics from their shoot on the blog later this week.

For now, I'm off to get ready for the week ahead - I start work again after a two week holiday.

I know right? They're gorgeous!

This is my cousin and his beautiful girlfriend, Bianca. Both are students in Durban and are so crazy gorgeous and in love with each other it's not even funny. 

Thanks you two for letting me capture all that love in a few shots and all the best with your studying in 2013! You're both going to rock!

Day Five | A Photo A Day

I've always wanted an African Grey but unfortunately, with two cats already owning the home, it would be impossible. 
But we do have friends in Pietermaritzburg who have an African Grey, Peanut and have recently introduced this little baby into their nest. 
Chicken is about 16 weeks old and is still learning to talk. He's very tame and enjoyed walking around on the couch and eating an apple while his big brother chirped and chatted from his cage a few metres away. I've never met a bird that can speak more and has so much attitude than Peanut. Between all the cell phone sounds, he chats to the dogs, dances to Jack Parow's 'dans, dans, dans' and sings the lyrics from LMFAO - "Everyday I'm shuffling". 
Today was the first time I got to meet Chicken, who enjoyed a few nips to my fingers. 

This is Peanut a few months back. Isn't he handsome?!

Day 4 | A Photo A Day

It's late, I know. Sorry!!!

This is a shot from a photo shoot I did yesterday with a young couple on Durban's beachfront.

More photos soon! 

Day Three | A Photo A Day

Ah to be in Durban! The sun, the sea, the sounds... I love it all. 

Last night I was very fortunate to spend the evening with a very talented Durban photographer, Kierran Allen, shooting from the Roma Revolving Restaurant. 

He taught me the basics of timelapse photography so I can't wait to get my Macbook charging so I can edit and put my timelapse together. 

But in the meantime, here's my Day Three. 

I wasn't too keen on taking my camera onto the beach with it being so packed but got this shot while travelling along Wilson's Wharf this afternoon. 

I'm hoping to get a sunrise tomorrow (maybe even a sunrise timelapse) but I'm not sure I'll make it at 4.30am! You'll have to wait and see! :)

Thanks for popping in! 

Day 2 | A Photo A Day

Today we're heading off to Durban to spend what is left of our December holiday at the beach.

So I thought I'd do a beach shot for my Day 2 but am a bit worried I might not have internet where we're going so instead, I took this shot before we left.

Meet Caxton. He's a black and white male cat, 'rescued' from a hotel/game reserve in Johannesburg. I think he would've preferred the life at the hotel, had he survived. He spends more time down the storm water drains ( I know, gross right?) and in the fields nearby (at least, that's where we think he is) than at his own home with his Scottie brother and sisters and feline sister. 

But we love him. When he comes home. 

Day One | A photo A Day

Today is the start of my 365 Project (New Year's Resolution) and so I dedicated it to my best friend's baby, Jacob who turned one today!
Happy birthday Jacob! May you continue to be as cute as you are!

So that's Day 1 done! Be back tomorrow!
