Well Hello There

I am a photographer based in Zululand, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. I work primarily in Richards Bay, Empangeni and Mtunzini however I am more than happy to travel for a photo-shoot. I am fun-loving and enthusiastic. I pride myself on making you feel comfortable enough to completely relax and enjoy every moment we spend together to create emotive photographs. I believe that freezing these moments eternally so that we can always relive their glory is completely magical!

I grew up in the small town of Mtunzini where I was surrounded by the natural beauty of our beach, lagoon, wild animals etc. This sparked many passions including photography.

My Passion

Photography is one of my huge passions and I am always excited about becoming more creative or using new ideas to get the ultimate shot. So please always feel free to offer me new ideas or opinions. The perfectionist side of my soul ensures that I will do just about anything to get that perfect shot (so you will have to bear with me making funny noises and faces at your kids or lying down in the grass to get you at a good angle). I enjoy photographing people, weddings, model portfolio's, family photo-shoots, maternity shoots and nature (I pretty much will take a photograph of anything if you give me the opportunity).

It is an amazing feeling to be able to share in some of the most precious times in peoples lives. I am blessed to be able to becomes apart of people's weddings, having their babies, the birthday parties and maternity shoots etc. (Thank you to each and every beautiful soul that has allowed me to become a part of your lives and bare witness to your most precious moments).

Second Photographer for Tay Photograhy

I am the second photographer for Tay Photography, which means that I get to work at the big events and wedding days. I partner with Tatum and together we enjoy capturing the best moments of people's lives!

Tatum and I have been friends since we were kids and as we grew older we both developed a love for photography. Although we have two unique styles (as photography is art) our styles compliment each other perfectly. The fact that we work together effortlessly makes your wedding day easier and simpler for you. So that you can relax and enjoy your big day with no fuss from your photographers.
