Chantal and her girls

A few months ago I ran a competition on my facebook page, sugar and spice photography - nicole. The person who got the most people to 'like' the page and referrals would win a studio photoshoot. For the month of the competition Chantal must have driven her friends crazy by asking them to 'like' my page and say that she referred them. All that work paid off and led to a great shoot.

Enjoy!

Winners of the location couple shoot: Angus and Tamsyn

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Tamsyn and Angus, winners of the couple location shoot. With camera in hand, I set out to go meet them at the Southern Light Country House in Constantia. They were tucked away for a weekend getaway, but made time for the shoot (thanks again you two).

The Southern Light Country House was a beautiful back-drop for this shoot...see for yourself.

WIN a photoshoot: in recognition of Father's day

In recognition of Father's day tomorrow, I have started a photoshoot competition on my facebook page. The competition will run until 30 June 2011. All you have to do is upload your favourite pic of your dad (and you) or you as a dad, get people to 'like' your pic. The pic with the most 'likes' will win a location family photoshoot. So what are you waiting for? Get uploading and set it as your fb profile status, your tweet, digg and whatever else you use :-)

To end off this weeks' blog, I thought it appropriate to add the words to the song, Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle.


Here are the lyrics for those that cannot view the video via the Youtube link.

There's two things I know for sure:
She was sent here from heaven and she's
daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes and
I thank god for all the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;
sticking little white flowers all up in her
hair; "Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried."
In all that I've done wrong I know I must
have done something right to deserve a hug
every morning and butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet 16 today
She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world.

But I remember
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer; sticking
little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you, Daddy, But if you
don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time."
With all that I've done wrong I must have done
something right to deserve her love every morning
and butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by.
Precious butterfly.
Spread your wings and fly.

She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride-room just staring at her.
She asked me what I'm thinking and I said "I'm not
sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
She leaned over...gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there,
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don't cry!"

Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have
done something right.
To deserve your love every morning and butterfly
kisses-I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is.

I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses at night.
