The Jamal Family Tokai Forest Maternity Shoot It's a rarity to meet a couple and feel a tangible peace and calm in their presence. This was the case when I met Sapna and Abdulwagied for their Tokai Forest maternity shoot. Having self-professed as "awkward", they proved to be the furthest from it. They breathed in…

The Helfensteins Family Shoot  - Rondebosch Common -  November 2022 It always amazes me how quickly the Common changes with the seasons. It seemed only a few short days ago it was thick with greenery, and already the dryness of summer has set in, bringing with it fields of gold. Meeting the Helfensteins for their…
