This lovely family lives in Germany and were visiting Cape Town for a few weeks in the time that their little girl, Elin was turning one year old. Mikaela is Finnish and she told me that the first  birthday of a child is a super big deal in Finland.

I met them on Llundudno Beach in the morning and then they came back to my studio for a few classic baby portraits of Elin to celebrate her first birthday. I knew she was my client when she especially asked for absolutely no "cake smash" shots. 

They came back to my studio a few days later to view their images and went back home to Germany with a box of images ready to be framed as a beautiful reminder of their time in Cape Town.
