Photographing the Gronow family was a joyful experience that originated from meeting Shelley a few months prior at a birthday party I was shooting for one of her best friends. On a sunny day at Grotto Beach in Hermanus, I captured beautiful moments with Shelley, her husband, and their lovely daughters. The session took on an extra layer of warmth as Shelley's parents joined in, creating a multigenerational celebration of family. The bright sunlight mirrored the sunny disposition of the day, and the entire family's genuine joy and connection made for a fun and memorable photoshoot by the seaside.
