Thru My Lens - Portfolio: 2014

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.

80 years young

I recently had the privilege to photograph an 80th birthday celebration. I left the celebrations realizing once again that there are very few things in life on which you can't put a price tag, some of which are a life time of happy memories and beautiful moments, being surrounded by the people we love and to see the dreams that you have for your children, become a reality.....it was a special day!
