Investmentguide
01 · WELCOME
Hi friend, I'm so glad you're here
Thank you for taking the time to explore what this could look like for you. This guide is a place to slow down, get a feel for my work, and see what might fit this season of your life.
I don't want perfect. I want honest. The kind of images that feel like memory, not a performance of one.
I'm drawn to the moments we don't usually stop for: the quiet ones, the familiar ones, the ones that feel like nothing special until time passes and suddenly they mean everything. If you choose me, I'll show up with presence and care, ready to notice the things you might forget to, and give them back to you to keep.
02 · APPROACH
An artful, heartfelt approach
I'm not here to create perfect moments. I'm here to notice the real ones. My approach is quiet and observant, with gentle guidance when it helps, and space for you to simply be.
Little hands and the way they hold on
Light through a kitchen window
The in-between moments no one plans
The way your family moves together
I won't ask you to pose or perform. You can hold your child, tuck hair behind an ear, move through your home, or just settle into the way the day feels. When you look back, I hope the images feel like your life did.
03 · COLLECTIONS
This is where our journey begins
Every collection includes a vision questionnaire, gentle planning together, and a private online gallery edited by hand.
Collection 01
Your Quiet Hour
R3,500
A gentle, unhurried glimpse into your world. A slow morning at home, a quiet stretch of afternoon, or a little season you want to hold on to before it shifts. Simple, honest and grounded.
- About an hour together
- Vision questionnaire to understand your rhythms
- Gentle guidance where needed
- 70+ edited images in a private online gallery
Collection 02
Your Unhurried Chapter
R4,500
A little more room to breathe. Time to settle in, follow the energy of the day, and lean into the in-between moments that become memory later. Lovely for newborn days, early parenthood, or transitions that feel like becoming.
- About two hours together
- Vision questionnaire and simple planning support
- Home or outdoor storytelling, or a mix if nearby
- 100+ edited images in a private online gallery
Collection 03
Your Full Story
fromR6,000
For stories that don't want to be condensed: a long family afternoon, a meaningful event or an intimate celebration. We plan the time together so the story can unfold without pressure, and your gallery grows with your coverage.
- A minimum of three hours of documentary coverage
- Pre-session questionnaire and planning support
- A gallery that grows with your coverage
04 · Add-on
The Film Keepsake
Photographs hold the frame; movement holds the breath.
Captured quietly between photographs, a 60 to 90 second nostalgic short film of your time together: toddler steps, belly laughs, wind in hair, and the everyday sounds of your family. Edited gently like an heirloom home movie, set to music, and delivered with your gallery.
05 · QUESTIONS
You have questions
If something isn't here, please just ask. No question is too small.
Reach out directly or book through my online booking page. Weekend dates go quickly, so getting in touch about two months ahead is best. A 50% payment secures your date.
I'll send your invoice with the other admin pieces. 50% secures your date, and the balance is due one week before your session, so you can arrive relaxed. For newborn sessions, the balance can be settled once baby arrives, any time before our session. Payment plans are available.
I love in-home sessions. I also photograph on location and can send you my location guide, or you're welcome to suggest somewhere that already means something to you.
I'm based in Craighall Park and happily book sessions up to an hour from home. The first 40 km (round trip) is included; thereafter travel is R4.95 per km.
Your immediate family and pets, always. For grandparents or extended family, we'll adjust your collection.
In-home sessions usually begin from around 07:30, when the light in your home is softest. Outdoor sessions are at sunrise or golden hour. I'm always happy to work around naps and feeds.
Maternity between 28 and 35 weeks. Newborn from seven days, or 7 to 14 days for the sleepy, brand-new look. I photograph babies of every age, though.
Any of them. My collections are shaped around time rather than session type, so it really depends on how much time you'd like. Your Quiet Hour holds a short, sleepy morning at home. Your Unhurried Chapter leaves room for feeds, cuddles and big siblings getting used to someone new.
Still photography is always my focus. I quietly record short clips of real movement throughout our time together, then weave them into a 60 to 90 second film set to music, delivered in your gallery.
Four to six weeks after your session.
Almost everyone is. There's no need for perfect poses, weather, outfits or locations. It's about holding a feeling in your hands, and I'll be right there with you.
Kind words
“You manage to capture absolute magic!”
I don't know how you do it, but you manage to capture absolute magic! Thank you so much, I can't wait to see the rest.
