Little Ballerina {Newborn}

Elize Mare Photography did Ilcke's Maternity session in December 2014...

 Little Ilcke's due date was around the 12th of March, but she was born a few weeks too early!
 She was in ICU for 23 days and we only got around to doing her Newborn session this past weekend in Studio and what a little angel she is!

These are just a few of my favorite images....

Love me Like you do... {Couple Shoot}

I absolutely adore Couple photo shoots!

Elize Mare Photography had the opportunity to meet a very in love couple... Joshua and Mercia.
Their story is one that didn't start recently.... coming from the same little Free State Town, went together to the same school, but only 'hit' it off in the last couple of months after they both had different paths before they got together.

Their shoot went great with laughter and lots of kissing ;)  Loved the way they showed their love and adoration... this is just a LITTLE sneak peek... I don't want to let out too much, just yet.

Family is everything {Family Photography}

Late November 2014 Elize Mare Photography read a post on a Face book page called People who live in Centurion, about a dad who didn't have anything to give to his 13 year old daughter who's birthday it was that particular day, because they are going through a difficult time....

The post touched my heart and I immediately decided to make up a little birthday present consisting of a couple of things I though a teenager would want... BUT I also included a mini Family Photo shoot as this is the one gift that will be cherished by all and will be Never Forgotten.

There were other contributions from other people in the area as well, and it just showed me how the Centurion Community can stand together!
I believe this little girl had THE best 13th birthday ever!

Well, I met this family this past weekend, and here are a few of the images I've captured:

A ballerina princes on the way {Ilcke}

Elize Mare Photography had the opportunity to capture some tender moments and special memories during a maternity photo session of expecting little ballerina, Ilcke.
The shoot was actually booked for outdoor, but luckily mom decided to move it to the Studio, as it was a cold and rainy day outside.
I must say, a stunning Mom and handsome Dad... I can't wait to meet Ilcke!
Here are just a few of my favorites from our shoot....

I want to grow old with you..... {David & Tanya - eSession}

I met David and Tanya when they were searching for their Wedding Photographer for their Wedding coming up on 24 January 2015....

The story they told on how they got to me was quite interesting, and it just shows that the 'name' Elize Mare Photography is 'getting out there!'.... it came down to Google search and picking my name up, talking to their Landlord and my name came up, and Tanya talking to her manager at work... and my name came up!! This made them decide we have to meet... and I'm happy to say I'll be photographing their very special Wedding day next year!

During the booking process, and talking about what they like I picked up that they 'love nature and the outdoors', and Tanya especially loves roses... and they are crazy about taking Selfies!!! ... so with a bit of searching and arranging I found the PERFECT location for their engagement session, which is part of their Wedding package with me.....

Sunday arrived a bit windy, but it was still a perfect day as we arrived at the chosed location... a Rose farm!   We started off by chilling at the restaurant on site, walking amongst the beautiful roses, even had a tractor ride around the farm, and ended off with a stunning sunset.... I loved it, and so did they....

After Dark 2

After Dark 2

Now, Motorsport and anything cars and bikes are one of my other loves.
So whenever I get the chance.... I'm at an event to 'drool' over the beauty of what is CARS.

This is my hobby - Motorsport and awesome motoring stuff!

The start of the long weekend kicked off on Friday with some motoring action at After Dark 2 @ Woodmead by XclusivModz and this is my take...
