Risha
Short story on how we met...
Apart from accidently stumbling on her IG, silently following her feed, bumping into her at events. (I am not a stalker) One day I was documenting my wife's friend baby shower and guess who walked in the door...Yup Risha.
They were all at school together and remained good friends over the years, ok so while they were all laughing and catching up on old times... back to me the one in the corner with my eyes open wide and pinching myself... Lo and behold the one i have been silently wishing to photograph was there.
So as old friends go they all got together for a random group photo. (My wife would kill me if I showed that photo) so I had to send the photo to her right? I mean how rude if I didn't
Well fast track to our first official photo shoot at Farley Hill, while taking light and test shots readings my lighting assistant Jamel looked at me and said " You know.. the level raise now, every shoot from now on has to be on point.
First Shoot at Farley Hill
With that we nodded and knew this was the starting point... blah blah click click... we wrapped up the session and we had a blast!
From that first session we all knew a second one was going to happen! Thank you Risha for being such an awesome person to work with and here's to many more.

Samair turns two
First Birthday Shoot
I can still remember the first time I met Samair and her Mum. It was for her first birthday shoot, not sure who was more nervous at the time, let's go with the photographer. Since then we captured African Day and now onto her 2nd Birthday!.. I was honoured to receive that call saying " Hey Jason, it's Samair's birthday soon and you being the official photographer"
African Day
Samair's mum (Sheva) has been a constant source of ideas for props and costumes she would like to try. My job is to capture the twinkle in those eyes and that smile.
Happy Birthday Samair may you have the chance to look back on the journey of your life as I have captured it. Sheva, thank you for having the confidence in me to capture your daughter's moments

TAMIRAH
Apart from making mouth watering Sushi, Tamirah is an amazing model and wonderful woman to work with. Two sessions later and she still has the ability to pull off those amazing angles and poses that totally amaze my lighting assistant and I. We are looking forward to working with her again with new concepts. Tamirah it is a pleasure working with you!
