I am a mom of 3 girls (who rules this house, the girls not me), and married to my best friend (Jaco), who is the best dad and husband in the world, and a very talented photographer (my taste is better than his). We live in Muldersdrift, Gauteng, in the heart of the cradle of human kind, yeah, scary, you can hear the lions roar from our balcony at night…or maybe thats my hubby, I still cant figure out who it is…LOL.
Besides being a wife, mom and photographer, I do have a day time job aswell, and pursue my passion for photography over weekends…talking about time management, I get into trouble with hubby more than often, working the midnight hours. This year 2012, I vowed going to bed not later than 10pm…yeah right, I am being scored on a star chart for that, did I mention I love my family
What do i like? hmmm…Nine West shoes, I never leave my thigh high bootz behind when shooting a wedding, not just because I think it looks cool, but because I always seem to be on my knees, or walking into rose bushes, so rain or 40 degrees, my bootz are going with.
What I don’t like? Peanut butter (had to much of that in pre-school), rice (who eats something that taste like nothing, waste of time), going to bed at 10pm (damn that sucks)
What I want to do in 2012? Laugh more, stress less, try to be in bed by 10pm (how many times have I mentioned 10pm?), spend more time with hubby and the girls, see if 21 Desember 2012 is really the end of the world…wow how awesome would it be to photograph that! Buy the oh so awesome Canon 1DX (it cost like a small fortune), love more, compare less, follow my dreams and fear less.

Marlene van der Merwe - Hello Melanie
I am from a small town in the Limpopo and a few of us families are really in need of someone to come and take some memories of us and our families. I read on your blog about your sister and have tears in my eyes. My mother died of breast cancer 11 years ago before my first daughter was born and now have just hear my mother in law has colon cancer. Reading what you have written has put a tinckle in my heart and a lot of love for God and faith. But back to why I am mailing. Do you do photography away from home and if so what would you ask per family for a photo shoot? Hope to hear from you soon! Marlene
