Family Photo Session
Kids Grow So Fast!
📸 “The days are long, but the years are short.” – Gretchen Rubin
One day, these tiny hands won’t be so small anymore. Let’s preserve the little moments before they slip away.
Outdoor Family Shoot
Special family memories
It is always a privilege to have clients come back for more. My number one goal when photographing clients is recognizing and celebrating the special bonds and connections within each family, and capturing those moments of love, laughter, and joy that make them unique and special. As well as offering packages that create moments to celebrate loved ones.
When clients come back for more, I feel like I’ve executed this goal for them.

My journey
Ignorance can help you push through your own boundaries.
Even before I started my photography business, I’d been a photographer for as long as I knew. Not necessarily a good one, but I had a burning desire to be a photographer and by the looks of it (through my own eyes). I wasn’t taking bad photos at all. It took me many years to go from “I want to be a professional photographer” to gathering my guts and finally putting myself out there.
Each shoot I did was an amazing experience for me. I had to learn so much, I was determined and motivated to succeed. I watched many professionals doing what they do best, learning and practicing every bit of information I could get for free. Soon that was not enough and I started paying for quality education to take me to the next level. To this very day I am still learning, making sure I learn about all aspects of my business, not just posing.
I am grateful for my ignorance.
When I started I believed I was an amazing photographer. In a way I was right, at that very moment I was the best I could be. When I look at those images now I cringe. I wasn’t as good as I had imagined myself to be, but I had to go through that to move to where I am now. Today I know I’m not the best photographer ever, but I’m the best photographer I can be right now.
In the past 8 years I’ve had highs and lows. I remember 3 distinct times where I was ready to close my business and walk away. There were so many of these moments, where I just wanted to give up. But somehow I manage to just keep going. Sometime it was an image that I captured that would save me and remind me why I loved photography so much. To not give up.
Reflection brings about healing.
If I knew then what I knew now things would have been different right. But I had to learn, I had to grow, I had to feel pain and pleasure. I only hope to learn from my experience and grow in character as I go forward.
May you enjoy this journey with me.
Before and After Photos
Don’t get me wrong, I am so very proud of all these images but there is quite a difference as you can see. I cannot wait to get even better in the next few years.
Outdoor Family Shoot
Beautiful Outdoor Family Shoot with Dimakatso and her family. Everyone was just amazing and once again the wardrobe worked out really well. The only objection I would have is dad shirt. A smaller logo would have been more ideal but honestly this family was so much fun that I almost don’t even notice it.
