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 welcome celebration


I recently had the privilege of photographing the welcome celebration of a little soldier . Born a little premature, this precious little boy had a battle or two to fight. But we all know God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.As he was still gaining his strengths he was unfortunately not present at the celebrations. But a celebration it was as friends and family came together to celebrate this little miracle.I am happy to report that the little soldier is now home with his family.

The most amazing venue among the Sappi plantations, 
in the hills near Nelspruit.

Although she be but little, she is fierce.
This gorgeous little bundle became a big sister to a baby brother.

Dad, Mom and big sister. 
The next time we take this photo
there will be 4.

The cheerful and thankful heart has a continual feast 



It is not how much we give 
but how much love we put into giving
 Happiness adds and multiplies as we share it with others 


 The world needs grandparents because
kids are not going to spoil themselves




What can be cooler than hanging out with grandpa?



They say it takes a village.....



......and where there's a village.....
there will be plenty more children....












....and plenty of friends











But family is where life begins
and love never ends....






A grandchild's kiss is like a tattoo on your heart....
A grandchild's hug lasts long after they let go....
This is what the world's coolest big sister looks like....

A girl's first love is her daddy.....
