When last were you photographed professionally?
It’s not your job to be ‘photogenic’ or ‘good in front of a camera’. It’s my job to help you through your entire photo shoot and to show you the most beautiful photos you have ever seen of yourself
you deserve to spoil yourself
I take the stress out of having photos taken
I can promise that my photo shoots are easy and fun, and it’s an experience that you will never forget. We do your hair & makeup, provide assistance on what to wear based on your personal style, and you will end up with the most beautiful photos that you have ever seen of yourself.
My goal is to show you how beautiful you are; to help you reconnect with the woman you see in your portraits, and be awed by her again.
Sound familiar?
This is me in nutshell. And being the photographer in the family doesn’t help at all!
I have used a photograph from my wedding as my “headshot” for more years than I care to admit - let’s not even discuss the divorce that happened 7 years ago!
I want you to be able to pull out a favourite photograph of yourself at the drop of a hat. You deserve photographs to enjoy every single day.
1.
pre-consult
To give you the best possible experience, we start with a complimentary consultation (usually on a video call).
We chat about what you want from the shoot and who is going to join you. The goal is to make you comfortable with what to expect, and leave you excited for your shoot.
2.
wardrobe and styling
During your consultation we also discuss what you are going to wear. I’ve found that 4-5 outfits is a good number to bring with you, which mixed with different backgounds, gives you a nice variety of photographs from your shoot. Not sure what will work best? Take me on a virtual tour of your wardrobe, and we can make this decision together!

Your shoot
On the day of the shoot, you arrive at my studio, we chat a little more, and you get to see all of the gorgeous products in person. If you have an idea of what you would like to purchase later, please let me know so that I can give you the best possible options. My hair and makeup artist works her magic on you (usually this takes 60-90 minutes), and then we begin your shoot. The shoot itself lasts about 90 minutes, and then you’ll be on your way back home, looking and feeling fabulous.
4.
Posing
You’re not photogenic? I’ll argue with you until I’m blue in the face that there’s not such thing as being “photogenic”, there’s just knowing how to pose, and that’s MY job. I take special care to pose every single person to look their aboslute best. Tweaking each pose to make it “just right”. You just need to show up and we’ll work together to make you look your absolute best.
5.
Reveal and Ordering
Two weeks after your shoot, you are invited back to my studio for your reveal. This can also be done virtually, should it be required. I will show you your editied photographs, and you get to choose your favourites. There are packages available to give you the best value for money, as well as a la carte options, leaving you in complete control of what you spend.
What does it cost?
Your luxury photoshoot experience costs R 3,950 including professional hair & makeup. At your reveal session, you only pay for the imaeges that you absolutely love, with collections starting at R8,000 including both printed photographs and high resolution digital files. A la carte prints are available from R900 each, framed prints, and canvas prints start at R2,000 each. All printed images are delivered with the matching high resolution digital file.
