Four Generations

It doesn’t happen every day that I get to photograph four generations.

Pinterest

Butchery

Emma Booysen Photography

Butcheries at the street markets are interesting, as it is not what we are used to as a butchery. This was one of the butcheries at a street market I photographed in Hong Kong.

Family

This family celebrated the little girl’s two year old birthday wit a family shoot.

Little Ladybird

Emma Booysen Photography

The six month baby shoot is also a nice shoot as this is the stage where they can sit by themselves. I like playing around with wings on this age, such as this ladybird wings.

Cambodian Temple

Seagull

As we had lots of windy conditions on the beach during our holiday, it was easier to photograph stationary birds.

Mike & Liesel

Emma Booysen Photography

Weddings are always special occasions. I had the privilege of photographing Dr Mike and Liesel’s wedding. They held it in their garden at home. In their garden there is a wall where friends and family wrote "Before I die I want to……" and one of the messages was: "Live Life and Laugh till I die."

New Born

It doesn’t often happen that I get to do new born shoots with a two day old baby, in general they are a few days old. He was so relaxed and easy to work with.
