I have been photographing lots of personal shoots lately and find that many of my clients did not know that I photograph personal shoots as well as commercial shoots. Here are a few of my favourite personal shoots I have done, there are tons more to follow in the near future: Matric Dance dress shoots……

Candy
“Candy” is a shoot I did for a makeup artist that goes by the name “Eye Candy Makeup”, she wanted something very different for her website and so we collaborated with Angies Attic in Sea Point and Cillicious Bakery to create this shoot. Cillicious Bakery supplied us with adorable cupcakes that had makeup elements…
Colouring Outside the Lines
A sunny day in Cape Town today reminded me of this shoot I did with Leah Wicks. I photographed a lovely girl in Kalk Bay this morning under the Baked The Blog Style Special -and her shoot, as well as the weather, reminded me of my colour-blocking shoot on the railway with Leah. …
Mythology of Colour
This was the shoot that created my love for fashion photography. I photographed this shoot in the beginning of my final year of college and from then on, fashion was all I photographed. This shoot was also the start of a long photographic relationship with Lisa Harrison, a great model who I often work with…
Black Cake Couture Head Pieces
When I read a lovely post about Black Cake yesterday, I realised that I had not shared the shoot on my blog- so here is the shoot I did with the Couture Head Piece brand! Black Cake is a Couture Headpiece brand that began in late 2012. I was lucky enough to be the first…
The Ruins
This is one of my favourite locations for portfolio and test shoots. Ashleigh B (model), Kirsty Williams (makeup) and I all met at this location a little while ago to photograph Ashleigh’s Model Portfolio. Here are some of my favourite images: Ashleigh was a stunning model to work…
Autumn Forest
This is a portfolio/test shoot that I photographed on a warm Autumn evening. As you all know, I love the forest at this time- the lighting, the colours- everything. I have been showing alot of commercial photoshoots this month and am going to post a few more personal shoots I have done. Many people who…

The clothing and styling was done by Kate Maclennan, makeup by Helen Becker of MAC and the model was the talented, Leah Wicks. A recent chat to a friend reminded me…
90’s Suburbia
I love the shoot I did with Gabi from The Dollhouse Collection titled “90’s Suburbia“. This story was about a bored, rich teenager in the 90’s causing trouble in her hood as Gabi would say- “a bad-ass bitch”. Our model, Courtney, was absolutely amazing! Her make up was done by Megan Moses…
Vintage Vixen
I collaborated with LoneFolk quite some time ago to create this vintage story and, today I am feeling for some vintage living so I thought I would post about this shoot that I didn’t blog about on my old blog. This shoot was another “day in the life” themed shoot. This was…
Big Dreams, Big Changes
After attending the Elle Magazine Rising Star 2013 event I got some great feedback from the best of the best in the blogger world about my blog. I am completely and utterly inspired by all the lovely people around me and, although the fashion industry can be difficult, mean, back stabbing (the list goes on),…
Ebby Weyime
I recently photographed Ebby Weyime, a Kenyan model who was in Cape Town for season with Grace Models. Helen Becker from MAC did Ebby’s makeup. We went for a soft look and added some bright lips towards the end of the shoot. Ebby was such a lovely model to work with, I was not…
