I’ve arranged with a lady that does gorgeous knitwear for babies to photograph her products. I’ve spoken to her when I was still in the UAE, and now I am here at last. We’ve just had the cutest baby boy stuff finished and would love to get some photos. I dont have any newborn sessions booked that are boys just now so a modelcall is needed! Share this post with friends please.
I had a look at all the babies I’ve photographed the last year. Going back over some of the last year and a bit (the ones I was allowed to share on the blog, that were not private sessions) and I realised there were a bunch of South African babies. It’s only fitting since I am now in South Africa that this model call only show images of South African babies. So as each of these babies have South African family. Ouma’s and Oupa’s let me assure you they might have been far away but they were ooh so cute and cuddly and most have since met their family here, but those that haven’t you’ll enjoy those cuddles when the time comes!
The photos below is of girls and boys. If there are an abundance of interest my arm might be twisted to ask that we extend the knit wear to girls too and I will then add a girl session too.

I couldn’t wait for this session. More than 4 years ago, I joined a group online for ladies with a due date of babies, October 2008. Together we all went through pregnancy, then one after the other we all gave birth and we still have contact, the group now moved to facebook. The only other South African in the group were Nicolette. Both of us lived outside of South Africa so we never got to meet. As luck would have it she came for a long visit and I moved back and voila! Got to meet her at last!
I just loved little Goblin and he carried his Moose around. We went to the lake and basically just ran after and followed him while he explored. We even went places I never saw before, climbed over rocks and a very scary looking bridge and somewhere in there he was even inside the river:) He had picked up a stick and it was is makeshift gun or was it a riding rod. It was adorable how, when we asked for a photo he would just nonchalantly say, no well I dont want to do that, I don’t want a photo. He just wanted a photo of Moose. And so that is the reason why Mr Moose will feature in the sneak peek post too.
Here are just some of the sneak peek images, there are more on facebook.

I couldn’t be more happy to get out there and doing a photo session again. The location was magnificent, the family was fabulous. I have known them since the girls were about 2. Miss N about 3 weeks older than my own Bianca. We were friends in Abu Dhabi, then they moved back to Pretoria and ever since then we only got to see them every year maybe once.
Now we moved back too so we get to visit more often, it’s amazing really the kids will probably play sports against each other. Now we just need our other friend and her family back then we’ll all be back together again.
Here are some of their images.
First one of mom and daughter. I enjoy seeing the love in this one.
One of brother. I adore this one, high key while outside – thank you lake!
A family session has to have some sibling hugs or closeness, luckily these two adore each other so it wasn’t a difficult thing to ask.
Now mommy with her two kiddos.
Isn’t she gorgeous!
Another family photo on a little bridge we discovered.
It wouldn’t be a South African session without some tree climbing.
Sweet princess
Last one taken in our own garden, by the area my children had decided is to be called the fairy garden. You must know we have real fairies here. Is so honestly didn’t you know real fairies hide from people by pretending to be white butterflies. And of course we constantly see them so it proofs, the fairies live here:) Oh the life with girls, love them!
Here is the slideshow of most of the images. There are a few additional ones to be included in your full DVD/ CD.

I’ve promised my Abu Dhabi clients I’d try to make those that wanted slideshows and screensavers as a going away present. this week I did a few and shared two on my facebook page. Below will follow one of those.
This wonderful couple met me a few weeks before their due date for a short mini session they got as present at a baby shower. I love helping out with gift vouchers and usually made it work for whatever the gifters’ budget was. In this case it was a mini session where we were supposed to only take 8 photos ( I think we took a tiny bit more). The minute they walked in, we clicked. It was amazing how easy we worked together.
When they came to fetch their photos, they decided I’ll meet their newborn baby too, and I was so fortunate as she was the sweetest little girl ever. We had about 80 images in the newborn gallery I think, very difficult to choose which ones they wanted. The video slideshow only show some of the ones they chose to get.
I loved the remembering of your session and I do hope I come to Abu Dhabi one day again to meet her and see how big she got. To see how she grows in facebook is so fabulous.

When I met this couple for a mini maternity session their friends gifted them I just knew I love them. It was such a pleasure to work with you, you’ve become friends and I adore your little girl. When viewing the video I had the biggest smile and I have to say I really missed you and Abu Dhabi and all the gorgeous little babies I got to see.

I usually photograph newborn babies in the morning, but it’s the only day this could work for this couple and to top it all we were working against time (newborn photos is best as soon as possible), so we decided to try an afternoon. Well so glad we did, as he was actually a quite good little sleeper.
Here are a very fun idea Daddy had. I really love it and can’t belief we’ve never done something like this before with any babies. I am so blessed that it came to me this last month of photographs in Abu Dhabi.
And another on white, that I posted first on facebook.

And Daddy

I can hardly keep up with the blogs of all the lovely babies. The little girl I met today was just so precious. Still tiny even though she is 20 days old. She was born really early so unfortunately the newborn photoshoot had to wait for a bit. She was quite awake, but I still like what we came away with.
Here she is, wide awake, well maybe those eyes might just fall closed, let’s be quiet!
Here she is with mommy
And Daddy
I love this one of her smiling
Another one of her checking me out.
And lastly the family. I adore how she just connects with Daddy.

I love how alike this whole family looks. They are quite frankly the most family like family I’ve seen in a long while. All blonde as can be and Dad even mentioned that baby brother looks exactly like big brother did when he was a baby.
Big brother is one very energetic little boy so if little brother takes after him, Mommy is soon going to be able to run marathons for fun:) For now though he is a super good lseeper.
I absolutely love babies in cocoons and this cocoon has been a favourite of mine. He looks so peaceful.
I wear a blue hat cause I’m a boy, now let me chill.
Aren’t they just such a lovely family. All in awe of their newest member.
I placed this before on facebook. He is puckering up. When I see this image I want to lean closer to feel those sweet baby kisses on my cheek:) Maybe I’m just a softy in my old age, but I really really love newborn abbies and I can cuddle them all day long.
With Mommy
And Daddy. Isn’t this cute!
And lastly just chilling in the beanbag. Babies love that thing!

We all adored this expression:) He was a coccon lover and everytime I would take hiom out of one he would complain – loudly.
And the family
Lastly some orange and yellow and little tiny boy!

I just realised it’s been ages since I posted anything on the blog. I communicate so much on facebook that it feels like I came on here yesterday:) I am still not used to a year starting in September yet to me it feels like a new year since schools and everything start over again. Perfect time then also to reflect on how things are done, how to connect to my clients and fellow photogs.
This year I will be doing private lessons, one on one basis as there have just been too much requests for it. Since time is an issue it will take shape like a booking of a regular session time frame. To those waiting on your information packs they are almost done and will reach you next week. The Eid holiday’s threw out my schedule a tiny bit. To anyone else interested let me know, brunilda@brunilda.me.
So with that I’d like to share a family session I did in South Africa. This was taken at the botanical gardens. The garden is lush even though it was the middle of winter (yep it was hot enough this year for short sleeves). The grass is a tiny bit brown but I love it. I can’t wait to try the parks here when it gets a little bit cooler.
I love this family they were so much fun. A while back my mom told me there was a lady that recognised me as someone she worked with. Turns out it was this lovely lady and I recognised her face too, although I must confess I didnt get to the name right away (I think in pictures, was always handy in my job as auditor, but that is a whole other story). Anyway a million years later, after Price Waterhouse Coopers we met up again and this time I got to take pictures of her fabulous family.
It was fun walking around with them and explaining to the kids why I want to take pictures in a certain location, about light etc. I had a young photography enthusiast so it made it extra fun.
This year web blog posts will be done after the session, all edits and the order has been finalised so I get to share a lot and dont have to place a big logo on there. Here is a collage of our day:

Two babies in the studio, what could be more fun. These two were adorable and it was super cute to see G always reaching for his brother’s hand. Your web gallery with edited and rough edits will be forwarded to you today. Once I get back I will get the edits of the rest you’ve chosen done for you.
Aren’t they they adorable

This tiny baby was due yesterday! When I saw her parents for their maternity mini session ( a gift form their friends) they mentioned that she is due the day before I leave and we all started hoping she would arrive in time to be able to have her session. Luckily she came on the 29th so I was able to have her session. I’ve edited several images as sneak peek, the rest of the images will be rough edits in your web gallery and once I get back I’ll finalise all the edits on the images you chose.
This pose was requested by her parents, adorable.

I apologise for some short blog posts. You might recognise these boys as they were part of another family session a while ago. For this session they were the focus and they were super cute! I finalised your proofbook and shipped it out to your uk address, hopefully you will have it soon.
Here is a cute one of the baby of the house
