FAQ
Do you have any questions?

I’m based in George and regularly shoot in Plettenberg Bay, Knysna, Mossel Bay, Wilderness, Oudtshoorn, Stilbaai, and surrounds—covering beaches, forests, Karoo, and mountain backdrops.
-
I recommend booking 4–8 weeks ahead, especially for peak seasons (Easter & Christmas). Availability for major periods opens early — e.g., Easter bookings open 1 Feb, and Christmas from 1 Oct.
-
Use the online booking calendar to pick a date/time, complete the form, receive a confirmation and invoice, and finalize your booking after payment. Alternatively you can send me an email or text.

Absolutely. You can shoot at beaches (e.g. Glentana, Great Brak), indigenous forests, mountains (Outeniqua) or your own home. I’m happy to suggest locations based on your favourite look.
-
Sessions range from ~1 hour (standard portrait) to 3 hours (couples/matric farewell), and up to 5 hours (day-in-the-life maternity/family documentary shoots).

Yes, I offer a range of high-quality print options and custom photo albums to beautifully showcase your photos, all available from your online gallery.
-
Aim for a coordinated palette — soft shades, semi-formal, avoiding big logos or brands for a timeless look. Accessories (hats, blankets) and kid-themed outfits are encouraged.

Yes! Pets are part of the family. Just mention them early so I can recommend pet-friendly locations.

-
I blend classic portraiture with informal, documentary-style storytelling—capturing both posed elegance and natural moments.

Golden hour (sunrise 5–7 am or sunset near 6 pm) is ideal—soft light, fewer crowds. Forest or indoor shoots have flexible timing.
