Family Photoshoot on the Beach in Plettenberg Bay

The last time we saw Leigh-Ann and Chris was at a braai in Petts Wood in South East London.  Much had changed since our last meal together.  Having kids is a great indicator of how long it had actually been.  They had increased their clan by two with their daughters Isabella and Matilda, and we added an extra one to ours.  Isabella is a little younger than our Saharah and they immediately hit it off.   Kids are pretty awesome like that.

Living abroad, visits back home for Leigh Ann are particularly poignant.  Her folks had relocated from Durban to Plettenberg Bay some time ago.  It is one of the most beautiful areas in South Africa and made the perfect location for our family portrait session on the beach.  We decided to do the shoot in the morning when the kids are fresh to face the day.  It was a great start to the day as well.  Wonderfully warm sunshine with a few clouds dotted here and there.  Great time to be on the beach.
