The Experience
Be yourself and enjoy spending time with your loved ones.
A photo session with me isn’t just about photos. It is about spending time with your loved ones, creating memories, and having those captured.
These can be little adventures by the beach, in the bush, in your home, or wherever you want.
Forget about posing, I want you to be yourself and capture the unique spirit of you and your loved ones.
Of course, we can do some posed portraits but let’s have fun and focus on those candid and magical moments because those are the ones you will treasure the most.

FAQ
Why is a 50% non-refundable deposit required?
The process of booking and planning a session requires a lot of time. I am 100% committed to my job and our session and I require your commitment, too, in order to create the most enjoyable experience for both of us.
How long does it take to receive the photos after the session and how will they be delivered?your team?
You'll receive your precious photos within 3 weeks after the session via an online gallery. You can download them, order prints through me, or get them printed yourself.
How many photos will we receive?
The amount of photos you’ll receive depends on the package you choose. My philosophy is ‘less is more’. Instead of quantity, I focus on quality, which is why I offer fewer photos than other photographers. However, I do spend more time developing each photo so that you can treasure them even more.
Can we have the RAWs?
No. I see RAW images as a piece of unfinished art. Through developing (editing), I add my own unique style to the photos.
My packages solely include retouched photos.
Please look at my work carefully before booking in a session to be sure that you resonate with my style. Not liking the end result because of style is no reason for receiving a refund.
Do you travel for sessions?
Yes, I am trying my best to accommodate your wishes regarding shooting locations. However, I'm currently only on a Learner's license, which means I am slightly limited.
But we’ll find a solution that works for both of us.
Can we reschedule our session?
Yes, but a rescheduling fee may apply if reasons for within your control.
Reasons like sickness or weather do not require a rescheduling fee.
What happens if it is rainy or stormy?
If it is rainy or stormy 1-2 hours before the session we can decide whether we want to go through with it or reschedule.
What should we wear?
Whatever you feel comfortable in. However, I highly recommend neutral, earthy tones like white, cream, beige, brown, etc. Overall the simpler your clothing is in regards of colour and pattern, the better. The more people participate in a session, the more important this is. It might not be as obvious but planning and coordinating your outfits makes a huge difference in the photos. You want yourself and your loved ones standing out in the photos, not your clothing.
I'm more than happy to help with coordinating your outfits if you would like some help.
