My first matric farewell shoot of the year, and what a lovely way it was to start with!

This year is a little different for me. I usually photograph one matric farewell a year, sometimes only one every second year but this time I have THREE, one after the other!

These two were my very first session and they made it such a pleasure. They were comfortable in front of the camera and carried themselves with so much elegance.

But one of the things that makes a matric farewell so special is seeing the families and friends who come together to celebrate these young people. It's such a big moment in their lives and there's so much more to it than just a beautiful outfit or a few photographs. It's about celebrating a milestone, making memories and marking the end of one chapter before another begins.

I'm so grateful to have been part of this special day and to capture a little piece of it for them.

And now, two more matric farewell shoots to share!

Tiny smiles, curious little personalities and a whole lot of cuteness... that's what filled my camera.

This year's theme was all things autumn, with the cutest two pumpkins and most beautiful leaves, and every single child looked absolutely adorable. Although I'm only sharing a few photos of one little boy and one little girl, I can honestly say every child photographed beautifully.

One of my favourite parts about photographing this school year after year isn't just the photos, it surely is the children. Watching them grow, seeing familiar faces run up to me because they remember who I am, and then meeting all the new little ones and slowly winning them over... there's just something really special about that.

Every child walks in with a different personality. Some are full of confidence, some are a little shy, some have endless stories to tell, and some just want to show me their favourite shoes or tell me about their dads Bakkie that almost looks like the one I came with. That's what makes it so much fun. No two sessions are ever the same.

I'm incredibly grateful to be trusted with these memories year after year. It's a privilege I never take for granted.

A camera, good company and a day with no agenda... that's sometimes all you need.

My cousin, my daughter and I decided to spend the day walking through the streets of Stellenbosch, taking photos of one another and trying out a few new ideas. We laughed, explored little corners we'd never noticed before, and of course ended the day at our favourite spot, 4Tea.

And yes... we did all of this with the cutest little toddler tagging along. He was an absolute champ!

Somewhere along the way we spotted the prettiest naartjie tree. Naturally, we thought we should taste one... or a few.

Alright, I'll admit it... I was the one who climbed the tree while my cousin stood ready with the camera. A few scratches later, I proudly climbed down with enough naartjies for all of us.

On the drive home my cousin volunteered to take the first bite. She looked at us with the biggest smile and it seemed like her eyes were turning to class, but she confirmed it tastes so good!

Well... my daughter and I didn't hesitate.

I've never regretted trusting someone so quickly in my life. They were SOooooo sour! The kind of sour that makes your whole face cramp up. We laughed so much... and to make it even better, one of them came with a little worm inside. Safe to say we'll be buying our naartjies from the shop next time.
...It's never just about the photos. It's always about the memories made while taking them, the unexpected moments, and the stories you'll still be laughing about years later... or at least this is true for me personally.

Here's a few favourites of my cousin from our little Stellenbosch adventure.... aaaand the very last, a sneak of her beautiful boy.

After three years of dedication, perseverance, hard work, and determination, she can finally celebrate the incredible achievement of graduating from UWC. What a proud moment!

This session was about so much more than graduation photos for me. We actually go a long way back. Her mom and I served together in Sunday School years ago, and both she and her brother were part of those special days. Over the years I've had the privilege of photographing their family, capturing her matric farewell, and now standing behind the camera once again as she celebrates another major milestone.

It is incredibly special being invited back time and time again to document life's biggest moments. It is an honour that I never take for granted. Watching this beautiful family grow and celebrating these milestones alongside them has been such a blessing.

And can we just take a moment to mention that she is not only beautiful inside and out, but she also sings sooooo beautifully!

On a side note, visiting UWC was an experience all on its own. I honestly wasn't prepared for how impressive the campus is. It felt like stepping into an entirely different world. Almost a city within a city. Between exploring the campus, celebrating with the family, catching up with everyone, and taking photos, I found myself thinking...... "Is this not the dream?"

What makes this achievement even more inspiring is that this isn't the finish line for her. Instead of closing the books, she's choosing to continue her studies and pursue even more. That kind of commitment, determination, and passion for growth is something to be admired, and I have no doubt that there are many more milestones waiting to be celebrated.

Congratulations on this incredible achievement. Your hard work has paid off, and this is only the beginning of an exciting new chapter. May God continue to guide your steps and bless every dream, opportunity, and challenge that lies ahead.

And here they are… the beautiful family I was there for

After sharing a little glimpse of this special place (and sneaking in a few moments with my own girl), I’m so excited to finally share these.

But truly, they’re not just any family to me. They run their own little nursery school and aftercare, and I’ve had the privilege of photographing for them over the past few years — from the school to their own family moments, which makes it all the more special.

I absolutely love how they always know exactly what they want and where they want to go next for their updated photos. It makes every session feel fresh and intentional

And I have to say… I completely love (and maybe slightly envy) how mom prints and frames their photos every year. Different frames, all beautifully displayed. It is honestly so special to see those memories come to life in their home. Definitely something I dream of doing one day too!

Grateful for clients who become familiar faces and moments that keep growing year after year.

And this location… still not over it. The colours, the light, the feeling it gives.. it really brought something extra special!

Thank you for trusting me to capture your memories.

At the start of the year, I wrote down a few places I really wanted to visit. Just little goals and dreams on our board at home. And then out of nowhere I got a message asking me to do a family shoot at one of those exact places.

I mean… how could I say no?

I had never been there before, but it's like I missed the place without even knowing of it! So of course my daughter came along as my little plus one. And then before and after the actual shoot, we definitely stole a few minutes to take some photos of our own, but not enough!

I’ll be sharing the beautiful family I was there for a bit later and all the really bright and beautiful spots … but for now, I just had to post this.

If you’ve been following my page for a while, you’ll know I usually lean more towards softer, neutral, natural tones… so editing these bright colours was something completely different for me. BUT honestly? I loved every second of it!

Safe to say… I definitely WANT to go BACK!

Some mornings just stay with you and This was one of them.

I got up early, after doing all the research, and arrived at the beach while it was still completely dark with just the sound of waves and that quiet, almost unreal stillness before sunrise.

And then… my very first sunrise shoot.
Not just any shoot ... a maternity session !

Honestly, they looked like something out of a storybook. Her red hair, those beautiful eyes, the soft, flowing dress… and the gentle wind catching her hair and dress just perfectly it was just perfect...in my opinion.

The light, the landscape, the moment… everything just came together so perfectly, it honestly felt like a piece of art. I found myself turning in every direction, taking it all in, making sure I captured every angle, every bit of that beauty.

Sunrise sessions?
Completely worth it. Every early alarm, every second.

This little one celebrated surrounded by nature, and you all know I’m a complete sucker for an outdoor setting — this venue was absolutely perfect.

To his mom, I take my hat off to you. The decor, the thought, the detail... everything was done with so much love and total perfection. You could see it in every corner. On top of that friends, family, little ones playing and laughter everywhere… I honestly couldn’t stop smiling.

I have to admit though… it was one of those properly hot days or I am simply getting older. By the end of it I’m pretty sure I blended right in with the kids who’d been enjoying the water slide! But honestly, when the setting is this beautiful and the atmosphere this special, I don’t even mind one bit. I would go back and do it all again in a heartbeat.

These are the kinds of days that stay with you. Joyful, slightly chaotic, full of love and completely worth it!

I couldn't just choose a few photos so do yourself a favour and just go look them all!

One very brave little guy arrived with a broken arm and still showed up like an absolute champ — smiling, laughing, and enjoying every moment as if nothing could slow him down.

Those who’ve followed me for a while know this venue and my ongoing fear thanks to a certain slithery incident. So of course, as I was walking backwards and stepped straight into a hole my heart skipped a beat and my mind went immediately there again. Quick explanation to the family, a few deep breaths… and we carried on!

I truly loved meeting this special family and getting to share small conversations in between shots, getting to know them just a little more.
