This was one of my first matric farewell shoots…and WOW, what an awesome day with awesome, fun and outgoing teenagers! They knew exactly what to do, and I hardly did any posing with them. They made my job so easy, because they were so much fun to work with.
They couldn’t ask for a more beautiful day, a real summer day in Pretoria. When I started with the photography session, it took me back to my matric farewell day. It is one of the most important days in your high school career, and I can still remember the excitement in the days before the “big” day. Nowadays things have changed a bit from when I matriculated. Everything is so perfectly planned, from the make-up artist, the car (of course) the dress (most importantly) and all the little bits like jewelry, matching shoes and handbag…and don’t forget the professional photographer! I started photographing from the moment the make-up artist started with her make-up, and the transformation was just beautiful. When she finished dressing and came down the stairs, she was breathtaking (even her mom wiped away a tear or two).
Later on a few family members came over to see the happy teenagers off to a night I’m sure they enjoyed a lot.
