family storytelling

Photographing your family is more than just capturing faces—it's about preserving memory. These images become part of your family's story, shaping how your children will one day remember their early years—not just what they looked like, but what life felt like at that moment.

I create photographs so that, years from now, your children can look back and say to theirs, ‘This was our life. This was us.’”

Let's make some

Capturing the Everyday

and the Extraordinary

Photographing and hiking with the Johnston family was a powerful reminder that true connection and presence often emerge in the simplest, most ordinary moments.

This session was a Christmas gift—not of things, but of time and shared freedom. Together, the family and I moved with the Fynbos landscape, allowing wildness and spontaneity to unfold naturally.

This photoshoot honours the subtle, often overlooked threads that bind families.

Parada Family Reunion

This session was a celebration of togetherness — each person bringing their own rhythm, and way of being. Some communicated quietly, others with laughter and movement, each expression adding to the story.

We chose a place they knew well. I didn’t direct. I followed their rhythm, letting the day unfold.

Because when we make space for every body and every mind, we don’t just capture a moment—we witness something true. Connection, unguarded. Presence, unforced. Love, exactly as it is.

Charlie’s Last Day With Long Hair

He had never cut it before. It grew with him—an extension of childhood.

The day before he let it go, his parents felt the weight of the moment. A quiet rite of passage. A Goliath moment.

They chose to mark it—not just as memory, but as part of the family archive.

The Chan Family back in Cape Town

I’ve been photographing the Chan family since 2017. Every few years, they return to Cape Town, and together we set off on another small adventure — a chance to document their time here, their connection, their ever-growing story.

With each visit, the girls have shifted — taller, more sure of themselves, stepping quietly into who they’re becoming. Watching that unfold through the lens has been one of the quiet joys of my work.

This is why I photograph families: not only to mark milestones, but to trace the thread of time — to hold something of the in-between, the ordinary moments that become memory. From those first portraits when they were tiny, to now — Cara preparing for her A levels — it feels like returning to an ongoing story I’m lucky to be part of.

A sunset reunion - Betty's Bay

This gallery documents a reunion, the first in five years, as loved ones gathered from near and far in Betty’s Bay. I didn’t direct or pose; I simply witnessed. What emerged was a tapestry of emotion, connection, and honesty.

These photographs don’t just show who was there, but how it felt to return, to belong, to remember together.
