I have not done any lifestyle photography in a while. And to be honest my focus is changing somewhat. But, when Yvonne (another Kellogg friend!) pinged me to ask if I was still shooting and if I would do her engagement portraits, I couldn’t resist. Yvonne & Felix are one fantastic couple and after a few minutes of shooting, they completely forgot that my assistant and I were even there. These two are definitely naturals in front of the camera.  A big “Congrats!!!” goes out to you two!

Here are a few of my favs from the shoot.

There’s nothing like sailing around an island on a boat across crystal blue water and with the sun beaming down on you.  Vacations are always the medicine we need to refresh.  Here are a few scenes from my trip to the Island of Mauritius.  I was so relaxed shooting photographs was not at the top of my list, but here are a few shots I captured when I did remember to pick up my camera.
The day couldn’t end without an ice cream!  Even the local dogs agreed with me on that one.

We’re at the end of the first week of the New Year and 2012 has truly set sail! So albeit slightly late, I want to wish all my blog followers a wonderful 2012.

After spending 3 weeks out on vacation I had plenty of time to relax, reflect and set a few goals for this new year, as well as define a theme.  I do this every year.  It’s going to be an exciting one, both personally and professionally and I’m raring to go. Stay tuned as I have a few new projects to share with you and a big announcement !

There is something about white sandy beaches and crystal blue waters that makes you go “hmmm!”  In the middle of all the madness there’s nothing like an unexpected break away from it all.  Mauritius was the destination and oh my, it really made me go “hmmm”! Here’s a peak…more to come.

It’s been a while since I’ve done any lifestyle portraits.  A couple of weekends ago, I met up with my client, Bolly, on a Saturday afternoon, drove around town till we found a good spot for a quick portrait session, had lunch and then went about the business of shooting. It was a totally awesome way to spend a Saturday afternoon and escape the hustle and bustle of Lagos, even if for a just a few short hours.  Below are a few of my favs from the shoot. Enjoy!

…and as much as I love black & white images, here are two of my favorite colour images from the shoot. Can you say “fabulous”?
