Yesterday was my Aunty Tinni’s 73 rd birthday, she doesn’t look a day over 60 and she has the zest and energy for life as any 20 year old. We helped celebrate her birthday with a portrait shoot. When she was younger she was a successful model in Paris for many designers and she still has all the right moves and confidence in front of the camera, the camera really loves you baby. We chose an area in the house that had good light but also showed off some of her incredible artwork. The piece behind her is called Butter Flies. She has many artworks around the house that are very colourful and full of life. Most are hers but she also has some from Grandmother and Uncle Rudi. There is a long history of artist in my family and although I have chosen photography I think one day I will more seriously put my inspiration on to canvas.
Later in the day all of her lovely friends and family came to the party and we had a great time with beautiful food and a great BBQ. The food never seemed to end and we had sate with awesome peanut sauce. It was also a good day because it was the first time the four Van de Wint cousins were together in the same room at the same time. Paul Jan, Gijs, Rud and Darren.
