Developing myself one captured moment at a time.

Wow I am actually speechless. I must weirdly admit that I have actually always wanted a guy to surprise me somehow and wow was I more than surprised last night. I am all packed and set so far just a few last things I need to throw in my bag and I am all ready to go. Finally it is Friday waited so long for this day and now to just wait for 12, as I sit here and for some reason every second look at the time in the right hand corner feeling super tiered with a row of people waiting outside and luckily it not for me I am happy well feeling kind of naar but happy if it counts hahah. Last night as I was making myself coffee and talking to my dad I see something in the corner of my eye and apparently my face was a must see thing and people say it was classic and I wish they had recorded it because I would like to see it for myself, so any way and who would it be but my handsome man! I didn’t have to wait another day to see him, I don’t have to wait till 12 to finally give him a hug and kis

Here we are another week has started again and well as fast as it started as fast as I am wishing it would end so that Friday could be here already. As you saw last week was not really my week and I must say I actually needed that, Friday I was not myself and all that but after a good cry session and just letting it all out I became ‘stronger” if you can say it that way? I was at a low point that day or well it felt like it and I got back up even stronger. I guess it sadly does take a person to get to the lowest of low to see what you have and to force yourself to make the best of the situation and carry on stronger because in the end how you handle the situation is all up to you proves what you are capable of all that and more. Even though last week was not a completely good week I got the greatest news, that Willem has his off week next week, He is coming through on Friday and then off we go to Durban to meet the family and friends, I won’t lie I am a bit nervous but on the othe

Positive, be positive just think positive thoughts I keep telling myself. Things are not as bad as what you’re making them out to be, relax, do what you are meant to do and stop worrying about others. Is what I keep on hearing and what I keep on telling myself? How long must I keep doing it? I wake up in the morning positive thoughts ready for whatever this day might throw at me, but am I under estimating how much I can catch and carry? Push the off button of the alarm and put on the Radio, off to the dressing table to do my hair and I look at myself for a few minutes and smile. I am awake and alive with many to be grateful about. Getting dressed with puppies eyes following every step I take and then falling back to sleep. All things packed in work bag and off to the kitchen, but first catch up on messages and who would not smile when you receive a sweet morning message from a loved one. And so between then and finishing up to go to work it is all positive as positive as I can m

It’s funny how it started, just two normal people chatting, looking for a possible relationship but not really expecting it at the same time. When I first started really chatting to Willem I can honestly say I would not have thought for a thousand years that I would be feeling this way. Hours, days, weeks and months went by of us just talking over the phone. Before I knew it we smsed each other when we woke up, during the day and the last thing we did before we went to sleep. And then when he started to call hearing his voice and the laugh that is something that got me through a lot of things in the time we have been speaking.   We became good friends who listened to one another’s situations and tried to help where we could, we were there when one was feeling down and we were there when something great happened no matter what we were always there for each other (and we still are). When I watched the Bachelor the woman or guys always said they are looking for a best friend and a husban

Photography 101. I actually do not know how I ended up wanting to do photography, as far as what I can remember I always loved being in front of the camera you know they whole self portrait pout face with the peace sign hand thing going on and I guess when I did my first photo shoot I enjoyed it so much and looking at my pictures and thinking wow I can look that good you know that boost of confidence you get, and I think from there I wanted to create that same feeling to others. When I just played around taking pictures of family and all that when I showed it to them that look of amazement and all that I saw in their faces made me happy and I wanted more of that. Now I didn’t go all crazy and but the world’s most best and expensive camera with all the fancy gadgets I started small and I am learning every day with every photo shoot that I do. When I first got my camera Canon D600 I booked my cousin and friend for their photo shoot I just had to try it out. I got a few ideas and pos

Now I am not one hundred percent sure what exactly this blog will be about but I think as what the Title explains it most probably would end up being half of my life and my photography together. As I have a passion for both. Hoping who ever stumbles upon this blog and ends up reading it, that you would enjoy it as much as I enjoy posting it. While I was in America I started a blog wrote in almost every day and I really enjoyed it and it was also a way for my family and friends to get more of an idea of what exactly I was getting up to there and what was going on. And well it was a way for me to just clear up things for myself and I find when you write or type how you feel if it’s in a journal or diary for yourself or others it helps a lot. But this blog won’t be all soppy sad I wish I had a better life type thing. It will be more of this is who I am this is what I am facing and how I am growing as a person and perusing my hobby and passion of photography into a reality and all the
