Serious case of blog neglect

February 1st, 2011 | Families, Park, Portraiture, Raanana Portrait Photographer, Sarah Raanan, teens

Hmmmmm, slap of the wrist. Have some really great sessions that never made it to the blog, due to house moving craziness

Like this session. Two brothers who miraculously agreed when their mother told them they had to get together for a photo session. Not only did they agree, but they had FUN!

Take a look….

Bees & Bats and Snakes..oh my!!!

October 24th, 2010 | Children, Families, Portraiture, Raanana Portrait Photographer, Sarah Raanan

We had planned this session for many months and were very excited that the date had finally arrived. Michal had deliberated over the family’s wardrobe and everyone was dressed and beautifully coordinated. All that was left was to find a great location with plenty of greenery and place for the kids to run around and have fun. First stop, Park Canada. Not very much green but we decide to compromise….until the bees arrived. I have to say, I was trying to be brave but i am PETRIFIED of bees! There was no way we could carry on because Michal smells way too good and the bees were all over her :)
Not feeling pressured by time or anything but this had now eaten up about 30 mins of our session time and we had to find a new location FAST!
We ended up in the most perfect strip of green just outside of Ramat Beit Shemesh, with plenty of trees for shade and the green that Michal so wanted in her images. (We’ll just gloss over the dead bat and the snake part…)
As the sun started to set it created the most dreamy halos of light and we ended up with some of my fave images of all time. And we all lived happily ever after
The End


Holiday Beach session

October 17th, 2010 | Beach, Children, Families, Portraiture, Raanana Portrait Photographer, Sarah Raanan

Ok so i’m not the fastest blogger in the world, but i get there in the end. This August beach session was great – met up with old friends from England that I havent seen for many many years. Starting to feel a tad old that i can now say things to people like “I havent seen you for 15 years”

I was warned beforehand that getting a photo of the 3 of them together was going to be a challenge, as was getting them all to co operate and generally stay still. Well, i love a challenge, and who says they need to stay still?! :)

Delicious kids, lots of fun and sooooo good to catch up with old friends after all these years and see them all as a family, very special. I love my job.


My Glamour Girls

September 2nd, 2010 | Bat Mitzvah, Children, Families, Portraiture

Ok, not sure how on earth this slipped through the net but I was just about to get started on a new blog post when i suddenly realised that I hadnt blogged one of my fave sessions from way back in May!
One man, so blessed with 5 beautiful women! Leaves me wondering what his secret is to surviving all those female hormones ;) ….
Until very recently, we were neighbours and thankfully we are all still good friends. We were so lucky to fall upon such good neighbours when we first arrived here and now that we have moved, we will really miss seeing them every day & popping across the road barefoot to borrow onions, sugar, and various other random items!
Anyway, we got together to take some post Bat Mitzvah images of Adina and all the family, after all the excitement of the day had calmed down a little. I have (as usual) so many favourite images that these really dont do it justice. Maybe i’ll post a slideshow here in a few days so you can see all the images!
I loved photographing them all, they are all so gorgeous and so unique. I will be grabbing the older two for some very funky, grungy modeling sessions soon so keep a look out!


Thank heaven for little girls!

Oh my! 4 young ladies, each with their very distinct look and personality. It’s sessions like these where I wish I had an hour with each child, but we made the most of it and boy did I enjoy them!

I always love that part at the end of the session where the mother looks at me and says “do you think you got anything good?” and i just smile sweetly and say “yep, i think so”. then I go home, upload their gallery and just wait for the “OMG!!!” email!

I enjoyed the tree pictures at the end of our session the most, getting the kids up in to the trees and dying laughing trying to get them all down again. We decided against putting the baby in the tree….

Thank you guys, it was a treat meeting you all and you were a total pleasure to work with. Am coming over in a few weeks to make sure that canvas is hanging in your home :)

Let’s go fly a kite….

July 29th, 2010 | Beach, Children, Families, Portraiture, Raanana Portrait Photographer, Sarah Raanan

Another great session on the beach! we took a couple of kites and some lollipops and that was all it took. (Note to self: lollipops and sand dont mix too well)

There are so many shots here that I love – everyone really got in to the session and had fun with it (even mum & dad managed to enjoy themselves with a water fight in the sea!)

I totally failed in trying to narrow the images down to a top ten  – so here’s my top 17 :) You can click on each image to enlarge it….
