Sorry for this belated, single post. My computer has been broken for some time and I’ve been adapting to my new life as teacher
Having a broken computer means I have a backlog of photos I have to edited which I will get to sometime soon (I hope). In the meanwhile, here are some pics of recent shoots I did with Wil fo Peartree.
This first shoot is of Louwtjie and Niki at Rusticana
This shoot is of Mignon and Charl in Riebeeck-West
Anneline and Pieter have been friends of mine for years. Anneline was actually the first person I met when I moved to Lichtenburg as a 10-year old. Over the years she’s meant a lot to me – spending hours making and drinking coffee, speeching at my 21st, jogging with me daily (ahem 
) etc.
For the past gazillion years Pieter has been her boyfriend and has since become a dear friend and someone I respect immensely.
We did a speed session outside Molopo-Oog in the North West where both Anneline and my family have homes. We played around in the field and at one stage they even had fun with Nardo’s bubbles
Geniet die foto’s ouens en dankie vir alles.
PS. The reason the pictures don’t have a ‘nielenbottomley’ tagline is because I deleted the settings by accident and can’t figure out how to fix it again. Any suggestions?
It’s the end of the holiday and I’m heading back to the cape to start my first official job.
Here’s a collage of some random pictures I took this past (last) holiday as a free woman
Recently, I took a break from from my insanely busy schedule (haha, whatever) to take pictures of the now 3 year old Nardo.
Nardo also has the cutest little sister, Lize-Kate
So, being back home means that I have been reading a lot of Deon Meyer (and being scared to death afterward), catching up on Sarie magazine, watching Friends and having few photo opportunities. Or let me put it this way, few opportunities where I get to take pictures of people.
I saw an article in Pix magazine a few months ago about whatever they call this thing I did below (lemme know if you know?) I borrowed that particular edition from a friend, so Ican’t check it up. The setup is pretty cool and very easy. You take white material, stretch it over an openening. Then you shine light on objects thorugh the material. You can then mix and match colours by putting cellophane over the white material. Ok whatever, if this doens’t make sense, send me a mail and I’ll explain it more eloquently and send you a picture or something 
I’m back at home, so I’m taking more still life pictures, because my family all run away when I come anywhere close to them with a camera.
Here are some pics of one of the last times I went to assist Wil of Peartree.
Elzanne and Johannes got married at Philadelphia (close to Durbanville) and had their reception at Eensgezind.
Check out the rest of their photo’s, courtesy of Wil, here
Simone is an awesome german chick studying with me at the moment (future teachers unite ). Being a very spirit-filled Christian, one of the ways I got her to smile is by saying: ‘ok, think of Jesus’, which worked instantly and was insanely funny. The shoot was in Jonkershoek and when Simone saw some horses she immediately wanted pictures with them.
A friend of mine, Bea, keeps on saying that my blog is a ‘couples blog’ with way too many pictures of couples in it. So I dedicate this shoot with wonderful, 4-language speaking, German, bicycle loving Simone in it to all single people out there.
I spent most of Sunday taking pictures of Metanoia’s HK and mentors for 2010. It turned out to be a (very windy) day full of a fantastically diverse group of people who I wish I could get to know better. Here are some of the HK pics.
I’ve been spending some of my weekends assissting the insanely awesome Wil Punt of Peartree (Check it out: http://www.peartree.co.za). Here are some of the shots that I took at the past 2 weddings:
Mervyn & Glenmarie

Oom Jannie & Tannie Debbie

I’ve known Anel and Nelius for ages. Ok, only almost 4 years. Anel has been in res with me since the beginning and she is probably one of the main reasons that I passed my BComm degree. In first year when everything seemed vague and I just wanted to switch courses, she spent hours and hours explaining concepts to me.
Nelius has always been by her side. They’re a wonderful couple who’ve always inspired me.
So. Congrats
