IT IS YOUR TURN TO BE SEEN

You have spent years last on your own list. Not any more. Each edition, I photograph ten women in a guided, magazine-style session. Your only job is to arrive.

CHOOSE YOUR SESSION

Portraits: a celebration of the woman you are, right now. Guided, unhurried and entirely about you.

Branding: a library of images that look like you and sound like your brand. And still, one framed portrait of you to keep.

YOUR AT LAST EXPERIENCE

STEP 1 OF 4 · PORTRAITS

We plan it together

We talk on a short Zoom call. Tell me how you want to feel and how you want to be photographed. I plan your session around you.

You are spoiled

When you arrive, a professional artist does your hair and make-up. You decide how glamorous you want to be. You deserve this.

A model for the day

I guide you into simple poses that show your personality. We match your outfits to different backdrops. Not photogenic? I hear it every week, and it is never true.

just because

Before we finish, we try one shot that is completely out of the box. Something bold, playful or a little unexpected: a dramatic hat, a flower crown, or that idea you have always wanted to try. Just because. (And honestly, why not?)

You see what they see

About two weeks later, you come back to my studio. We watch a slideshow of your best images together. You choose your framed portrait, and any other favourites. You only buy the images you love. A virtual reveal is also possible.

Your brand, and a portrait just for you

I guide you through every shot. We capture you at work: with your product, in your space, with the details that tell your story.

While you are here, we also take a portrait that is only for you. Not for your website. Not for your clients. Just because. (And honestly, why not?)

QUESTIONS

What is the difference between portraits and branding?

The experience is the same: a consultation, hair and make-up, a guided shoot and a private reveal. With portraits, we celebrate the woman you are. With branding, we also capture images for your business. You choose when you enquire.

Do branding clients also get a framed portrait?

Yes. While you are here for your brand shoot, we also take a portrait just for you. Just because. You leave with it framed, with its digital file. At your reveal, you choose your favourite brand images, one by one or as a collection. You only buy the images you love.

What does it cost after the session fee?

Extra images are R 800 each, digital or with a matching print. Collections of 10, 20 or 30 images cost less per image, from R 6 000, in a folio box or album with matching digital files. You choose at your reveal, and you only buy the images you love. I share the full price list at your consultation. If you would love wall art or an album, plan for a total investment of R10 000 to R15 000.

Can I book with my daughter, my mom or my best friend?

Yes. A mother and daughter session costs R 7 950, with hair and make-up for both of you and one framed portrait for your home. For best friends, it costs R 8 950, with a framed portrait for each of you.

Do you photograph families and matric dances?

Yes, through At Last. A family session can be in my studio or on location, and a travel fee can apply for some locations. Hair and make-up for one person is included. Hair and make-up for each extra person is R 1 500.

I’m not photogenic. Will this work for me?

Yes. Nobody looks natural without guidance. I guide every pose and every expression, so you never wonder what to do.

Do I need to lose weight first?

No. Come exactly as you are. My free What to Wear guide helps you choose outfits that feel like you.

What if I can’t come to the reveal?

No stress. We can do your reveal online.
