Perfect Moments Photography | A Rene Pallesen Journal

Going through some old photos I came across these of my great grand parents (on my mothers side).

I am pretty sure that the little girl on the left is my Mum (So the photos must have been taken around 1943-1944) and the other two girls are her sisters (My Aunties) Eli on the right and Yrsa in the middle.

I assume that the women in the back are their grand parents (my great grands) with the woman on the right being my grandmothers (mormor's) mum and the one on the right being grandad's (morfar'd) mum.

Here is a family photo of what I assume is my grandmothers (mormor's) family. I think it is my grandma in the middle right behind my great grandmother.

I assume this is my great grandparents, but I cannot be certain.

This must be a birthday for my grandmother.

This was taken outside the farm where my mum grew up. It is my grandad (morfar) in the middle on the right and it could be my grandmother (mormor) on the stairs with her mum. The farm is still there today owned by my uncle.

This must be some of the family on my grandads (morfar's) side, so possibly some of his siblings.

Open day photoshoot - Valerie Peovska

17. April 2014 06:04 by Rene Pallesen | 0 Comments

I did a couple of different sets with Valerie. Depending on the makeup she would look totally different and unrecognisable.

I call this my 'Get Lost' photo...bit of attitude.

Open day photoshoot - Edyta Jedrzejowska

16. April 2014 16:04 by Rene Pallesen | 0 Comments

The last of the girls that I shot at the window set was Edyta.

She has got a bit more of a rough look to her...a bit like Geena Davis in 'Long Kiss Goodnight'.

Being at the window with soft light everywhere the tough look didn't work for me, but I did manage to get this photo which emotionally is a bit more on the lighter side.

Open Day photoshoot - Britney Williams

16. April 2014 08:04 by Rene Pallesen | 0 Comments

Another Natural Light shoot that I did was with a girl called Britney.

She has a very photogenic face if done right. I also did a couple of shots in one of the sets but I just couldn't make it work as well as with soft natural light.

Again I was shooting with the Samyang but it was a bit later in the day so it was easier to control the light.

Open day photoshoot - Sarah Lucien

15. April 2014 16:04 by Rene Pallesen | 1 Comments

In Kenya we would just camp somewhere in the bush whenever we went out on safari. In the evening we would sit around a camp fire and on more than one occasion were we visited by lions either wandering past or approaching the camp site at night.

One night my mum woke up with a lion starring into the tent and we had paw prints on the car next to the tent.

Some of the sights were truly amazing such as the extinct volcanoes.

Or Lake paradise in Marsabit in the middle of the desert.

Or lake Nakuru with all the flamingoes (and as I discovered, ancle deep poo).

And the locals were always friendly.

France 1983

4. May 2015 12:05 by Rene Pallesen | 0 Comments

When I was a kid we spent a lot of time in southern Europe.

In 1983 I went with my mum and dad through France and through Avignon.

We were camping on the opposite side of the river just where the half bridge would have met the other bank.

One night there was a firework and we got showered in debris from the exploded rockets.

Tender Embrace

1. May 2015 17:05 by Rene Pallesen | 0 Comments

Last weekend when we went to Eastgardens I spotted one of the shops were setting up new clothes on the mannequins. Two of the arms were placed on the floor perfectly for this tender embrace.

Fox Easter family show

17. April 2015 16:04 by Rene Pallesen | 0 Comments

Sunday we went to the Easter show at the Fox studios.

This year we bought an unlimited rides pass for all of us. This mean that both Lucas and Aiden could do a lot of rides with bot Kim and I.

Aiden was feeling a little sick but he didn't let that stop him and Lucas was a bit more hesitant and spend the first couple of hours refusing to go on any rides but once he got started he wasn't to be stopped.

We went with a couple of friends and everyone had fun.

Except he who had to take Aiden on all the rides that make me seasick.

The also had a 1:1 size Lightning McQueen car and Mack truck, but Aiden wasn't in a mood to say hello or have his photo taken.

Symbio Wildlife park

17. April 2015 13:04 by Rene Pallesen | 0 Comments

On the weekend we went a trip to Symbio wildlife park. We have been there before, but we managed to purchase some cheap tickets and it is a great place for small kids as they can pad and feed the animals. Aiden especially loves animals and is getting good at feeding them himself.

Even Lucas who is normally terrified of animals eventually took courage to touch a Joey (baby kangaroo).

But he was too scared to approach the larger ones.

We also looked at some of the other animals there, such as the crocodiles.

The Dingo's.

The snakes.

The Emu

And the chameleons.

And the red panda.

Le Noir - or The Dark and intimate side of Cirque du Soleil

29. March 2015 08:03 by Rene Pallesen | 0 Comments

This week Kim and I went with a couple of friends to Lyric Theater to see Le Noir.

It was a bit of a last minute decision day before as cheap tickets suddenly came up.

It was really good with death dying stunts and great performances and rancy sexiness to enjoy.

Bedstefar visiting

18. March 2015 13:03 by Rene Pallesen | 0 Comments

I February my dad came to visit for a couple of weeks with Connie, mainly to see the two boys.

Aiden was very excited to have him here and Lucas was initially a bit shy but eventually warmed up.
