Loved this session with Nadene and Francois expecting their first little one. Portrait sessions for another photographer is always such an honour. Nadene, you look absolutely stunning! Enjoy this precious time and thank you for asking me to capture this special time in your life as a family.
Met another stunning family on holiday in our beautiful part of the world. Love all the moments captured in this session. Family portrait session in our day and age are more about capturing memories than creating only picture prefect portraits.
Congratulations Johann & Danielle! This was a very cold and wet, but warm hearted session. It was a huge honour to capture this special moment.
I met the sweetest little boy! LJ was all smiles and a pure joy to work with. I had the honour to capture these memories of their first family holiday. Thank you for an awesome session. You are a beautiful family, hope to see you again
Close-knit family: Anel, Eben and Ané. Loved meeting this beautiful family.

No matter how much you try to plan something, the outcome is never in your hands. Thankfully we serve an awesome God who always know best.
Luan and I initially planned a surprise picnic on friends of mine’s farm just outside Hartenbos, thank you dear Karien for all your help. Everything was set, decor rented, food bought and a beautiful bottle of sparkling wine. The weather was however hectic, rain pouring out every now and again. At the last moment we opted for a spot at Pinnacle Point were Luan and Deidré was staying for a weekend away. I met Luan at Pinnacle three hours before the planned session while Deidré was out for a bit of pampering with Marojean de Bod from MJ Artistry. Once Luan saw the beautiful scenery, as you exit the walkway tunnel, he knew this was the perfect spot to propose.
We were blessed with a break in the rainy weather and the most beautiful light by the time Luan and Deidré arrived. It was such a special moment and surely blessed as everything turned out perfect. Congratulations and thank you that I had the honour to capture this awesome moment. I cannot wait to capture your wedding next year in Swellendam, one of my favourite towns in South Africa.
The wonder of expecting your first child, few thing in life can compare to this. I love everything about this session. Gorgeous couple, beautiful scenery and perfect light. Enjoy these last few days awaiting her birth!
Another awesome session with the beautiful Andries family. I am blessed with so many awesome returning clients. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your family life with me.
Always a pleasure to work with a beautiful local family. The first time I met Amy and her daughter was for Elmi’s 16th birthday celebration. Hard to believe it’s been so long ago! Elmi has grown into a beautiful young woman. It was a pleasure to meet the male side of the family. Thank you for a great session, it was a pleasure to work with you all.
Cindy booked this session with me for Juné’s 15th birthday celebration. Loved meeting these gorgeous girls, we had so much fun. I decided to also capture a few images with beautiful mom Cindy, so glad I did as this mom and daughter is magic in front of the camera. Hope to see you again!
Family is what life is all about. It is not just about the family we were born into, but more about the family we create. I love family photography because I get to meet beautiful families like this one. Thank you for an awesome session, it was great to meet you all!
