Thru My Lens - Portfolio: 2023

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.

Bridal Shower @ Blos

A beautiful day for a bridal shower. Her friends and family came to shower her with wishes for a lifetime of happiness and love. I was fortunate to be the photographer behind the lens.

Roller Coaster #21

“On the roller coaster of life, your 21^st birthday is like being at the top of the first giant hill with your hands in the air and no lap bar” – Greg Tamblyn

It’s an exhilarating ride girl, enjoy every second

Pickled

I recently had the privilege to do some food photography for a dear friend of mine. She makes the most amazing, pickled produce and we needed to find a way to promote this yummy collection.
I am by no means a food photographer, so this is still very new to me and way outside of my comfort zone. However, they say you need to push the boundaries, get out of the comfort zone if you plan to grow.

Client/Friend was happy with the result, and I had a great time. It was a win-win.
