Sometimes a shoot is more of an opportunity to meet someone than simply capturing some images and getting the job done! I enjoy my photoshoots where we spend most of our time chatting in-between shots whether it is getting to know each other or catching up! You can see the difference in the images where…

@KamaraGoddess
The Goddess, aka Kamara had her very first shoot with me some time ago. I have worked with Kamara a few times, photographing her Vada -by Sivada clothing brand which she co-owns with her sister so I was very excited to finally be working with Kamara in front of the camera.
8 tips for great photos
I recently lost my phone to an unfortunate run-in with brake fluid in my car. I spent some quiet time off social media with a basic phone while I waited for my new one. While waiting for my new replacement I came across the HTC One M8. A phone with a camera is everything to me…
Highlights of 2014
Before sharing my new work I thought I would post about a few of my top favorite shoots for 2014: In no specific order: Elrico & Ritza’s special day was set in the farmlands, surrounded by vineyards. We shot in perfect light which resulted in a lot of soft, warm images. I photographed Courtney…
Sea, Sand, Swimwear
I thought I would post something a little warmer today! Winter is on its way and as much as I love shooting winter themed photoshoots, I do miss Summer terribly! I photographed a personal photoshoot for Tomomi a little while back and would love to share a few edits with you! I am also launching…
Bunny Blur
I photographed this Easter-inspired look with Aisha recently and have been dying to shoot a full black & white story. I took this opportunity when she showed me this all-black outfit. We both wanted to shoot something with strong lines, high contrast and also in a neutral location as the outfit has details that cannot…
REHORP – using talent for good
Last week I visited the REHORP horses in Phillipi, Cape Town. I visit the area and photograph the new horses as they arrive to be rehabilitated and re-homed. I have met such lovely personalities throughout my two years of working with them. Last week I met two ex-racehorses, one so big that I could not…
The Dance
I was lucky enough to be a part of Bilquees’ special day and photograph her matric dance experience. I have photographed alot of matric dance dresses lately and I enjoy it as it is a nice break from the usual work and the girls always look tooooo beautiful! Bilquees looked absolutely gorgeous and…
Keep it Real
Aisha and I had a meeting last week and I got to test out my new lens which I bought specially for SA Fashion Week. I love how with THIS lens I can zoom, so I can catch people unexpectedly and get REAL, RAW photos. Aisha and I are in JHB currently, check out her…
Summer vs Winter hues
I shot this wintery look with Aisha recently and she released it today, on a cold, gloomy Monday in Cape Town. Aisha and I loved our dark, reflective location and I made sure I shot at a low light allowing all of the textures in the dress to show. In post production I added a…
Sivu’s Photoshoot
Sivu and I have been trying to organise a photoshoot for almost a year now, we have both been super busy and our shoots are always cursed by bad weather, but finally, our day arrived and all was perfect! I have found that I have been needing an assistant more and more lately and this…
Desert Dreams
I finally got to shoot at this location with Aisha Baker and we had the perfect outfit to compliment it! I had been begging Aisha for months to shoot here and was over the moon when she told me she had the perfect outfit for it! On the day it was a little bit cloudy…
