{Beautiful Bellies} - Newborn, Maternity & Child photographer Durban Ballito

Every belly, like every baby, is different. Some are round, some are small, some are large, some are low, some are high... but each just so gorgeous! And the best part is getting to meet the sweet little babies- which also are all so different.

Such a wonderful time in life. Over so quickly.

Beautiful {S} and her beautiful family. Can't meet to meet this little baby... and even more exciting is finding out what it's going to be... I love surprises!!

Don't you just love the sky?



The little man didn't seem too impressed.. all this waiting waiting (buddy, mum knows... she's been waiting for nearly 9 months!) :-)

{Belly Bebe} - Maternity, Newborn, Children portraiture, Ballito, Durban

I really love taking pictures of pregnant women. There's something magical about a pregnant belly. It's a promise of new life. Of hope. Of joy. Bringing a child into the world offers no greater privilege. And pregnant women really do glow... it's a happy time in a couple's life, and is very seldom captured to be remembered...

Once you've had all your children, you miss that beautiful belly. The little kicks, the hiccups. And all the scars of a pregnancy passed, like the stretch marks and the extra pound or two, are a reminder of the honour you had of bringing new life into the world. It should be treasured... but too often, in our rememberance of "being fat", we forget to savour the honour we've been given.

Beautiful C of course did not have an ounce of fat on her... and would probably put most "not pregnant people" to shame :) They are looking forward to welcoming their daughter into the world... as am I... I get the privilege of taking her first formal photographs! Can't wait! Particularly as she carries good genes... she's going to be pretty :)

35 weeks pregnant... and looking lovely....

Meet little {J} - Newborn Photographer Durban Ballito

Meet sweet little {J} - 7 days new

I just love the way mums are so enthusiastic with newborn shoots. I really get to meet the most special people, and of course their even more special little people.

This little boy was super chilled. He had the most beautiful skin, and was a really "pretty" baby (Dad, don't worry, that's a COMPLIMENT for a baby... I have no doubt he'll be a strapping man when he grows up :)). I love the super mooshie skin newborns have... gorgeous.

So here he is, at 7 days new, with his wonderful parents... so much love in this family! I love it!

{Dainty P} - Newborn Child and Maternity Photography Ballito Durban

Little {P} 2 weeks old... she did not love my man handling... she's clearly a little lady :) She also wasn't keen on being unswaddled... can't say I blame her... pretty chilly.... And all the heaters in the world weren't enough for her.

But we got some gorgeous shots... she really was as good as gold.

Special people. Special little girl. Not too much else to say.

{June Special} - Newborn and maternity photoshoots - Newborn, infant, child & maternity photographer

Decided that I was feeling generous :) and wanted to give something special to all those new (and second, third, fourth etc) mums out there expecting the arrivals of their precious beautiful little bundles. Call it a late mothers day gift, or an early fathers days gift... or maybe it's just sharing some of the euphoric-baby-post-pregnancy-hormones feel-the-love-kind-of-thing... whatever the reason, here it is:



Terms and Conditions:

1. My minimum package of R1400 for the newborn shoot applies, but this special may be incorporated into any packages. Packages can be tailor made as well, provided the minimum package price is adhered to. R200 for the maternity shoot is due over and above the package of your choice
   
2. This is applicable to newborn shoots confirmed during the month of June
3. Confirmation is only applicable upon a 60% deposit
4. Photo shoots are not transferable
5. The maternity shoot and newborn shoot are applicable for the same pregnancy/ baby (I had to put it in- you'd be amazed!)
6. The newborn shoot is applicable only for shoots done by 30 November 2011
7. The newborn shoot must be complete within the first 10 days from birth
   
8. I do also offer gift vouchers
9. Please see my website for more information on packages: www.tarynvanrensburg.co.za
10. Dates are subject to availability
11. It is recommended the maternity shoot is done between 28 & 36 weeks
12. Please contact me should you require further information

Whoop Whoop! Such a great combination. Most mothers often do one or the other... but each shoot is so special, because it is a reminder of different stages in your life, and your babies life. My oldest son, who is nearly 8 (*Sniff*), just loves to look back at photos of when he was in mummy's tummy, and when he was a tiny baby. So special!

Hope you're feeling the LUUURVE

My Baby Boy {J} - Newborn, Maternity & Newborn Photographer, Ballito, Durban, KZN

I am so in love with this boy... and, well, I hate to say it, but he was by far the most angelic little model... slept the whole session- and let me completely man handle him... I was worried he'd smell my milk, and be very awake... but he was instead a little superstar. This little boy rocks my world... he's number 4 (yes... FOUR!)... and we're in love

Here is my beautiful baby boy at just 10 days new...



How's this for a handsome man... ! Stop wagging your tongue... he's all mine :)
