I will never forget how over the moon I was when Elizabeth contacted me years back for her wedding. I often saw her before then and thought how stunning it would be to get this classic beauty in front of my camera. Well after the wedding it has been her first maternity session, Lafras’s newborn session and now expecting little Linmari. How awesome to share in such precious times, thank you!
I first met the Maartens family four years ago when I had the privilege to capture Carmen’s senior farewell portraits. Such a blessing when clients return! We started off with some formal portraits in the studio before venturing into the rain. Just love the rainy shots, thank you for being such great sports.
The student council decided to treat their headmaster with a gift-voucher from my studio. Wow, what a stunning family! Loved every minute of this session with them and hope to see them all again.
From couple session, surprise engagement, pre-wedding, wedding, maternity and now newborn. How blessed to capture real life and to see how a couple grow from being in love to becoming mom and dad to such a sweet little baby girl. Welcome little Imke, I am looking forward to many more life capturing moments with you as you grow.
The images of this wedding speaks for itself.Thank you Donovan and Marike for sharing this gorgeous day with me!
Note from the bride, her words touched my heart and made me cry:
“When I started with the planning of our wedding, I had to search for all my vendors and suppliers from scratch, except one – our wedding photographer. I was already a big fan and follower on Facebook so I had no doubt in my mind that Lynelle simply had to document our special day from beginning to end. I think I might just have moved our wedding date had she not been available!
As a photography enthusiast myself I looked at her photographs as an inspiration. Her play with light and composition in her photos is always so stunning. But what really sets her apart from the rest is the emotion she captures in her images, and that is something that can never be taught.
She was such a calming energy to be around on our (sometimes stressful) wedding day. She is rarely seen but always there. Professional yet she feels like someone you’ve known forever.
Lynelle, I can’t tell you how many compliments I’ve received about our photos. You made our memories all the more beautiful. Thank you!
I can’t wait to return for more special life moments captured in your uniquely stunning, talented way.”
I was once again such a privilege to work with some of our leading vendors:

Wedding Dress: Leali Bridal Studio
Hair: Inferno Hair Studio
MUA: Donique Leonard
The super special part about this session was capturing this little guy’s first steps! He is a super happy child, no wonder with such cool parents.
Taking the time to do a bit of a personal project is always rewarding! Inge only wanted a few studio portraits to remember this precious time of expecting their first little one. I asked her to extend the session with a bit of a project for me. The recent fires in Dana Bay was scary and tragic, I am also a Dana Bay resident and was directly affected by this. I do believe that one should rather focus on the positive than the negative. Thank you Melissa, you were such a great sport for helping me! Makeup by Gabriella Netto.
Another stunning session with a combination of studio and location portraits. Love seeing clients again. The last time I did a session with the Haasbroek family was when this little guy was just a newborn. This time around the grandparents from both sides joined in. Hope you all have a blesses 2017!
I wish more people would book studio sessions! Our studio space is so versatile! We had a blast with the very handsome Vorster family.
How precious! One of the girls decided to surprise mom with a family session. I enjoyed meeting this family and feel honored to do their first family portraits session for them. Thank you!
Late afternoon session with the Minnaar family. We had to face the wind as this was their last day on holiday in the Garden Route. We were literally eating sand! Thank you for being such great sports! Looking forward to see you all again!
We almost missed our session with the Ferns family. We innitially booked an earlier date, but wind was a nightmare! Fortunately we had a gap on Tuesday with awesome cloudy weather.
