About Me

Hi there and welcome to a little slice of my life.

I am a South African, born and bred – Living in Durban, with my best friend and husband Luke. He’s a copywriter and I’m a photographer. So where he thinks in words and language, I think in light, visuals and motion. We can drive each other crazy at times but still love each other to bits.

A Personal quirk – I often start singing/humming an old school tune from obscure movies or bands quite out of the blue; which could be from growing up in the Natal Midlands – where river tubing and running in the fields barefoot was the norm; and learning to dance the waltz on my dad’s shoes while listening to his Vinyl collection was a holiday tradition.

While growing up, I found I was taking mental images all the time. But now I get to pick up my camera and capture those life moments for real. To treasure and look at when the mental memory of it becomes a bit sketchy.

Sharing in so many special life moments with the beautiful, diverse, genuine people of South Africa, and hopefully one day the world, is something I consider to be a privilege.

Favorite life moments – Thunderstorms, under a duvet with a good book.  |  High Tea with the girls – loads of clotted cream on my scones. (Yes, Please!).  |  Conversations with a great glass of wine…and friends.  |  The hilltop outlook on the family farm at sunset.  |  A groom’s first look at his bride walking down the aisle.  |  Browsing antique furniture & “nik-nak” shops.  |  the smell of a proper breakfast fry up.  |  Visiting local farmer’s markets & tasting new cuisine.  |  Meeting & working with genuine people.  |  Crying with laughter.  | when big families get together and start talking another language.  |  The ‘father-daughter dance’ at weddings.

I am always inspired by the ability a still image has to evoke the emotions experienced at the time and tell the story in may different ways… I only hope that my images will do the same for you. Thank you for visiting my site.
