I met up with Nikee while shooting an event in Franschhoek recently. It is such a beautiful place to shoot ! I found a pretty flower-filled sidewalk and used it to create some interesting colours and blurs in the image. When an image is not interesting to me I always find something to shoot through…

Tori & Martin
I recently shot an engagement shoot for Tori and Martin. We opted for a green forest location which gave the pictures a beautiful dreamy effect. We had perfect morning light which shone through the trees every now and then as the clouds rolled in providing us with beautiful soft lighting. The above image is my…
Zoe Brown – Outfit Shoot
Zoe and I met in Bree Street one morning to photograph this cute outfit! I loved how the location I chose complimented the colours of her outfit. Sometimes we, photographers, cannot shoot in the perfect early morning/evening light as clients only have a certain amount of free time available – this was the case for…
Beach Maternity Shoot with Aaisha
I had a wonderful shoot with Aaisha at the end of last year. We met one evening while she was visiting Cape Town and photographed this gorgeous maternity shoot. I absolutely loved how her dress flowed in the wind – and that flower band ? How stunning!! Our shoot started off with soft sunshine and,…
@misskayellis – pink drinks & greenery
Kay and I met at Raptor Room recently to photograph her outfit. I’ve always wanted to visit the restaurant and finally had an excuse to make my way to a side of town that I rarely visit unless I’m buying photographic equipment. Kay always has such wonderful locations and I enjoy working with her before…
@flourishingfitmoms x @onemodernmom x @kellylubbee
I captured a stunning fitness shoot on the beach for Flourishing Fitmoms recently. My models were fit-moms, Kelly and Lisa. I was worried about the light getting harsher as the morning progressed but we were treated to the most amazing soft mist which gave our photos a beautiful hazy look. The soft mist was like…
Sun, sea, sand with @bakedonline
I was so excited to shoot with Aisha Baker-Parnell again! This time we ventured out to “my side” of Cape Town, where we met up to shoot a few pics in the fresh, crisp morning light. I’m always hiding away from the sun for moody, shade located shoots in the city so I was really…
@fitnessgirlZA x @cottononbody
I shot for Tracey Lusty in studio recently. We worked with Cotton On Body to showcase some of their beautiful pieces & to create content for a special blog post they shared on their site featuring Tracey. It was Tracey’s first time revealing a little more skin than usual & I was honoured to capture…
Campbell Wedding – Suikerbossie
Jess & Alistair Campbell came out all the way from the UK along with family and friends, to celebrate their marriage with UK & SA guests. The ceremony was held at a church in the Southern Suburbs & the reception was at Suikerbossie Restaurant. Jess got ready at a beautiful home in Camps Bay with…
Head shots with Josie
Josie and I met in studio recently to shoot some head shots for per portfolio/ press photos. I opted for a very soft look for the images – I’m not a fan of the high-key lighting kind of studio shoots. I opted for one light with a white umbrella for a nice soft, evenly dispersement…
Swimwear with @candibod
Candice and I met up at sunrise to shoot a swimwear concept that she needed in order to announce some exciting news! When we arrived, the gloomy clouds did too… I really loved the contrast between the sun shining on Candice and the dark grey clouds in the background…but as the image was for an…
Portraits with Melissa Magiera
Melissa and I collaborated on this portrait shoot recently. Lately I am loving nature-based shoots and wanted to capture something dark and wintery. I contacted Georgie Rattle Apparel (she has the most amazing faux fur coats) and asked her if she’d like to join us in collaborating. For shoots like these, I only ever shoot…
