Thru My Lens - Portfolio: 2016

For a number of years photography has been purely a hobby, something that I am very passionate about. Here and there I succumbed to requests by friends and family to take photos on their behalf and even though I was always a little apprehensive and nervous about capturing their most precious memories, I was always pleasantly surprised by the results.

However over the last couple of months I have been receiving more and more of these requests and I’ve come to realize that there is a genuine gap in the market when it comes to photography.

Generally photographers charge an arm and a leg when hired to capture the images for a special event or occasion and understandably so. Their expertise is priceless and their equipment state of the art and they provide a package containing a large variety of prints, enlargements etc.

However there is a need out there for something less extravagant, more affordable and less formal. Moms just wanting a couple of snaps of their kids birthday party, a couple of shots of their son playing little league rugby, a couple of images of a matric dance, a graduation, grannies 80th or baby’s christening. Candid shots just capturing the memories and preserving them for the future.

……..and this is where I come in. If you are curios to find out more, feel free to contact me at michellethrumylens@outlook.com

These are just some of the shoots that I have done for clients. If it's worth remembering, it's worth capturing so let me capture your memories.

A Photo Book For Nadine

So after delivering the photos from Nadine's Bridal Shower, her mom asked that I design a photo book for her that she wanted to present to Nadine on the morning of her wedding day.

3 Weeks to photograph a bridal shower, process and deliver the images and design and print a 60 page photo book.......like I've said before, I never back down from a challenge.

Mother of the bride, bride and guests were pleasantly surprised.......

Herewith just a sample of some of the pages form the photo book.
