Winter cuddles
The last few days it has been freezing. (Well for me at least). I do get cold by just the mention of winter so by no means should you use my heat standards as the norm. When I schedule family shoots, it is always something to consider if we are shooting outdoors. No one wants to get sick after a photoshoot. So if you are hiding from the cold like me, perhaps consider a cosy indoor photo shoot with your family.
According to my google dictionary, cosy refers to warmth and a small space; “a cosy nook near the fire” or “snug in bed”. So let’s get cosy. Let’s plan your winter photoshoot.

Planning your winter photoshoot
- Combine warm colours rather than cool colours that will give a colder vibe.
- Wear layers that you can peel off if you getting a bit warmer especially if you go outside.
- Keep the kids moving – it will help to keep everyone warm.
- Find a small but warm spot in or around your home or special location.
- Embrace each other, kiss and hug. Not only will it keep you warm it will create beautiful meaningful moments between you and your family.
- Add a familiar activity – could be reading a storybook or drinking coffee. It can be simple activities the family do every day, like bedtime antics.
- Dress the part – not a lot of people are happy when they are freeing.
- Consider something new and exciting like a walk in the CBD.
- Shave and a haircut! For a creative family, photo shoot march your matching outfits to a fun venue like a barbershop.
- Combine textures – it creates beautiful images.
- Brake the rules, like for example, jump on the bed or host a tickle party in the kitchen.

Winter Weddings
Photography has been a beloved pastime of mine for years, and for the last 6 years, my full-time career and dream come true. After years of being a Social worker and working in high-stress situations, I decided to pick up my camera full time. I enjoy looking for beauty in unexpected places. My passion is to deliver beautiful images that tell your story.
Every story is beautiful
Every moment is precious and I would love to be able to tell your story.

The Girl Behind The Camera
When I am not behind the camera you will find me browsing street markets or devouring large amounts of dark chocolate and coffee with friends. I love my Labrador Retriever puppy, named Faith ( 4 years still count as a puppy ? ). She is part of Guide Dog Association of South Africa. Definitely, a life-changing moment when you see how a puppy, that is now grown up, become the eyes of someone that cannot see. It changed how I view my world – and how I look at the world I see through my lens.
