On a warm summer’s evenin’ on a train bound for nowhere, I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep…

Wait, that’s not it.

On a cold summer’s day, we, The entire Scheepers clan met up at Irene Farm for a morning full of laughter and cries, all in hopes of one good family picture…

Well, we got 500 gorgeous pictures; all thanks to the ingenious team at Creative Emporium, Melanie and Reinhardt. Their job could not have been easy, trying to photography eight adults, chasing after five rambunctious kids, in the middle of a wet farm… But they did it, and did it well.

The moment I heard Charl and Lee were visiting from New Zealand, I knew we had to jump at the chance of a large family portrait. Everyone agreed, and seeing what a fabulous job Creative Emporium did on our last family photos back in December 2011, we hired them again.

September is early spring here in South Africa, which means you have no idea what the weather is going to be like until you are living the day. It turned out to be a chilly, yet sunny morning. Perfect weather and light (so they said).

Here are a few of my favorites….

Now, if I only I could get all the Kernodle’s in the same place, at the same time…

Cheers!
