I’m busy throughout the year, so the earlier the better. My busiest times are the school holidays (April, June to July, and September to October), and especially from the beginning of December to mid-January. If you’d like a date in one of these periods, I’d suggest booking well in advance.

If it’s raining, or the weather makes it impossible to shoot, we’ll find a suitable alternative location or choose another date together, at no extra charge. If your date can’t move, for example a family celebration, we’ll find an alternative location, and if that isn’t possible, my studio is there as a backup.

My studio, Studio 039, is in Sea Park on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, and I’m happy to travel.

Yes. There’s no travel fee between Umzumbe and Umtentweni. Beyond that, a travel fee applies, and for destinations further afield, travel and accommodation are included in your quote.

It depends on your collection and the number of people in your session. Each family, maternity and couple collection includes a set number of edited images, while corporate, event and property work depends on the brief. Everything is set out clearly in your quote.

Family, portrait and couple sessions are delivered within 4 to 8 weeks, often sooner. Maternity sessions are delivered within 2 to 4 weeks, so you have your photographs before baby arrives. Corporate and property work is delivered within seven working days. Rush turnaround is possible for an additional fee.

Every image is hand-selected by me and individually retouched. Posed portraits are retouched for a natural, polished finish, and lifestyle images are colour corrected or graded, with small distractions removed. More advanced work, such as composites or major changes to a scene, is quoted per image.

Every project is different, so pricing depends on the type of session, the location and what’s included. Send me an enquiry and I’ll get back to you within 48 hours with a written quote.

A 20% booking fee secures your date, and the balance is due one week before your session. Payments are handled through Studio Ninja, my booking system, and you’ll receive a secure link with your quote.

Yes. I offer photographic prints, canvas prints and albums, made by trusted professional suppliers.
