A documentary approach to the candid moments and connections that make each story unique.

Meet your photographer
Landscape photographer at heart. Coffee snob. Plant mum. Lover of the beautifully unplanned.

Raw passion. Real emotion. Beautiful light. Adventure. And just love. So much love.
Being invited into your world for a few special days is the part of this work that means the most to me. I’m there for the big breaths and the small moments you didn’t even know were unfolding.
I’ll bring a little calm, a few terrible jokes and plenty of enthusiasm when the light gets good. Mostly, I want you to feel comfortable enough to be yourselves.
What it feels like to work together

When the camera is down
I’m a pansy-shell hunter, a serial snacker, a Formula One follower and a fiercely protective mum to my golden teddy bears. The sea is usually calling, and there’s always room for a little more adventure.

A documentary approach to the candid moments and connections that make each story unique.

An eye for family dynamics and the beauty of authentic connection.
I’m based in Plettenberg Bay, photographing weddings and elopements along the Garden Route and across South Africa. Closer to home, family and couple shoots make room for the everyday chapters too.
A landscape photographer’s eye brings the place into the photographs. A documentary approach keeps the people at the centre of them.
