For a number of years photography has been purely a hobby, something that I am very passionate about. Here and there I succumbed to requests by friends and family to take photos on their behalf and even though I was always a little apprehensive and nervous about capturing their most precious memories, I was always pleasantly surprised by the results.
However over the last couple of months I have been receiving more and more of these requests and I’ve come to realize that there is a genuine gap in the market when it comes to photography.
Generally photographers charge an arm and a leg when hired to capture the images for a special event or occasion and understandably so. Their expertise is priceless and their equipment state of the art and they provide a package containing a large variety of prints, enlargements etc.
However there is a need out there for something less extravagant, more affordable and less formal. Moms just wanting a couple of snaps of their kids birthday party, a couple of shots of their son playing little league rugby, a couple of images of a matric dance, a graduation, grannies 80th or baby’s christening. Candid shots just capturing the memories and preserving them for the future.
……..and this is where I come in. If you are curios to find out more, feel free to contact me at

These are just some of the shoots that I have done for clients. If it's worth remembering, it's worth capturing so let me capture your memories.
Dear Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI received the photos and I still can't stop looking at them! They are AMAZING and beautiful. It is just way beyond what we expected... absolutely exquisite!!!! I feel honoured to be your first "model" and can truly say that the images you took were brilliant. I hope you know that you're booked for every other special occasion in my life! Thank you for your patience and co-operation throughout the whole photo shoot! I enjoyed every second of the weekend and the pictures you took just captured the whole story so perfectly and beautifully. You made my day extremely special and it is definitely something I can treasure and never forget. I have seen some of the other images on your blog and it's just as lovely as the ones you took for my Matric Dance. Your work is stunning!!!! Thank you soooo much! Please feel free to post as many of the images as you like. I'm sure everyone will appreciate your work just as much as I did.
lots of love...
Nicole
