Thru My Lens - Portfolio: January 2020

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.

Butterfly Kisses & Flower Petal Wishes

Little girls have a magic all their own.

They simply make the word so much sweeter.

And though they be little they are fierce.

A Vietnamese Lunch

I have been so behind in publishing images taken over the last couple of years/months but I have decided to take up this hobby again so here goes.

Something I really love doing is photographing food. Some time ago my neighbors returned from a trip to Vietnam and once back they tested their Vietnamese Culinary Skills on us.

Of course I could not just eat I had to photograph.
