One golden afternoon at the Grotto Lagoon, I had the joy of photographing the Raubeheimer's — glowing with excitement as they await their first little one.

He was barefoot in the sand, sleeves casually rolled, looking every bit the proud dad-to-be. She wore a flowing soft green gown that caught the breeze and the light just perfectly — a dream against the lagoon, her auburn hair glowing like a secret in the sun.

Visiting from Cape Town, they chose this special shoot while staying with family in Hermanus. And truly, it was magic.
