Lady Lens photography is a one woman show run by me. We officially opened our doors in October 2016. I do all kinds of shoots and try to cover as many genres of photography as I can. Parties, events, weddings, family shoots and of course, newborn shoots. I enjoy all kinds of shoots and I love to meet new people and listen to their stories. Newborn photography is my passion. In the end it's so much more than just the cute and cuddly photos. Planning is essential. You need to plan everything carefully. What props are you going to use? How many set-ups are you going to use? Will the colours work? Natural or artificial lighting? What shots am I looking for? The most important thing is to keep your studio warm. These sessions are hard work and you will sweat like a beast the entire time. But even after an exhausting three hour session I will still run to my computer to see how the shoot turned out. I have a serious prop addiction and I simply can't walk past a sale table at home décor shops. Blankets with textures are my absolute favourite. I have my own studio at home. Sometimes it takes all the self discipline in the world to get to work on time and to only take a one hour lunch and to stay at the office till five. But I wouldn't have my workplace anywhere else. There are tons of benefits to having your office at home. When siblings are too busy and noisy during a newborn shoot, I let them play in the garden. That way everyone is happy. Procrastination means laying in the mud for an hour taking pictures of the water dripping in the pool while it rains. Running your own business isn't always easy. Luckily I am blessed with wonderful friends and family who are always ready to help and assist.
