Moments of Impact

”I have a theory  too. My theory is about moments. Moments of impacts.

My theory is that, these moments of impact, these flashes of high intensity that completely turn our lives upside down actually end up defining who we are.

The thing is, each one of us is the sum total of every moment that we’ve ever experienced, with all the people we've ever known. It is these moments that become our history, like our own personal greatest hits of memories that we play and replay in our mind, over and over again. A moment of total, physical, mental and every other kind of love.

So that is my theory, that these moments of impact define who we are. A moment of impact. A moment of impact has potential for change, has ripple effects far beyond what we can predict.

Sending some particles crashing together making them closer than before, while sending others off into great ventures, ending where you never thought you’d find them. You see that’s the best thing of moments like these, you can’t, no matter how hard you try, control how they are going to effect you. You just got to let these colliding particles land where they may and wait until the next collision.”  The Vow

Photography spots Cape Town

The most frequently asked question as a photographer is “what are the nicest places to shoot that other people haven’t over done yet?” hence the long hours sitting thinking, researching and looking for new and unique places to shoot.

Every day as I drive from place to place I notice places others usually would just pass by and think to myself, “why has other photographers not used that location yet?” So I decided to start documenting each and every beautiful place I come along that others have never thought of using.

So today as number one I bring to you Milnerton Riding Club. Beautiful horse stables with the friendliest of people to assist you.

My model wasn't prepared for a shoot lol so I don’t have many pictures to show but here are a few just so that you can get the idea.

Watch this space for number two...

My Excitement

 Saturday 31st August

I had thee best Saturday EVER! Woke up early to the sight of my handsome husband with the glow of the morning sun light on his skin. Got up, showered, brushed my teeth and had that much needed cup of Nescafe Gold. Now I was ready. So my husband and I headed straight to Studio 22 for my prints and photography portfolio and I was absolutely blissful about the results!

With a massive smile on my face, we head home to set up studio as we have 2 shoots in just a few hours.
1. A portraiture shoot of a beautiful lady named Simone and 2. A maternity shoot of Salwah, Waleed and baby girl Shafaa Samsodien.

Completing both shoots...still couldn't stop smiling as the results were amazeballs. Both shoots being my very first attempts at each.

Check out this sneak peak :)

I have now almost completed the editing (not that it needed much LOL) of both shoots and cannot wait to post it online. I will be posting it on Monday the 16th of September, so be sure to check it out @ https://www.facebook.com/smithypics01

Much Love
Mrs Smith ;)
