Family

I

“I’m inspired by you. Let me show you how much.”

I am dedicated to photographing the love, energy, and connection of you and your family so that you can take home a set of compelling images that you’ll cherish a lifetime.

My custom sessions are a full service that allows plenty of time to capture a variety of images of your family in my studio or outdoors.

We’ll chat beforehand so I know exactly what you are wanting: something casual or more
dressy. And I’ll send you more info about the best times for your session,   

                        some clothing suggestions, and what to bring along.                                

The Outdoor Experience

I aim to document the most natural moments of you as a family, showing your family’s unique visual story. I’ve found that I get the most from an outdoor photo session when children feel relaxed, and can play and explore. Your job is to stay present and interact with your children and leave the rest to me.

I always offer gentle direction to ensure that all the various photo combinations are covered, so that you get a combination of natural and naturally posed.  I generally do outdoor shoots on one of Cape Town’s lovely beaches, in a forest, or in your garden if the space permits.
