Kari Turns One
It is difficult to grasp time. But if we talk about the time that flies, we are certainly not kidding. It feels like yesterday when I photographed little Kari as a newborn. I honestly couldn’t believe it when her mom called me to book her first birthday cake smash. It was too soon! It just didn’t feel right.
But Kari is one all-right. Already walking quite strong, she is a magical little creature that will soon be able to chase her big sister Mia around the house.
Here are Kari’s Cake Smash photos and smash, she did.
Cake – Elize Steenkamp
Studio – Otjiwarongo
Photographer – Mariëtte du Toit
Namibian Bushveld Family Session
Since my studio is a bit small for family portraits, I prefer to take the whole family out into the bush for a proper family shoot. And this was a proper shoot since the grandparents, uncle and aunt were all visiting for Kari’s first birthday.
The sun was quite high when we started out, so I had to adjust to the harsh Namibian light. Kari, of course, fell asleep straight after her cake smash and boy, did we struggle to wake her up?! I wish I could still sleep like that! But isn’t a sleeping baby just one of the most adorable things on this planet?
When we finally managed to get her to keep her eyes open for long enough to take a photo, the light was also a lot better and we had a fantastic family photo shoot.
