One of the questions couples ask me most frequently is; Where should we have our engagement shoot? The truth is, as with wedding venues or locations, the sky’s the limit. If you read my post earlier this year on Why Engagement Shoots Are Important, you would know that I see them as a little record […]
Explore Ithaca
I had spent most of the summer in Greece and it had completely stolen my heart. After leaving, it took me all of 2 weeks to decide that I wanted to move there permanently… I had expected to be met with obstacles but, instead things had fallen into place. I now found myself sitting in Italy, making lists of […]
Greece, The New Adventure
“Maxeen, look at the size of South Africa,” she said pointing at the screen. “Yes,” I responded. “Ok, then look at the size of the UK. It probably fits into South Africa about six or more times.” “That’s right,” I said. “And now look at where you are going to move to! It’s not even […]
Stockholm, Sweden | Travel Photography
In August last year I made my way to Stockholm. I had visited Sweden before and I was looking forward to making the return journey and catching up with old friends. The most wonderful thing about revisiting a place, is that you get to go back to the bits you loved the most the first time. […]
London Portraits – Louise Beukes
I am so blessed to know so many strong, driven and wonderful women. Last week Tuesday, 8th March, was International Women’s Day and I decided that this week was a good time to introduce you to a woman who has inspired me, supported me and cheered me on when things have not gone according to plan. […]
London Portraits – The Du Plooy Family
In late November I caught up with Dallyn and Tereza and the little addition to their family, Keegan. I previously shot the couple’s engagement, wedding and maternity photos, so to be asked to now do a family shoot for them was such a joy. I usually organise my family photography sessions to take place outdoors. However, winter […]
Why Engagement Shoots Are Important
“But I don’t look good in photo’s… and my fiancé, well, he hates them! Why would we ever want an engagement shoot?” – I have been faced with this question many times. My clients completely value photography and understand how important it is to document their big day. They love my work and we get along […]
Finland | Travel Photography
When I visited Finland, I would be lying if I said I knew what to expect. I had seen photo’s of gorgeous landscapes, stunning forests and vast lakes, but aside from that, I was clueless. I had met Maria, who I was visiting, in high school. She was an change student and her and I got […]
London Wedding – Adrian & Moema
In May last year, I shot a wedding in Hampshire. It was a beautiful day and as part of the evening entertainment, the couple had booked a Mariachi Band to kick off the party. They were fantastic and as I was packing up my things to leave, we all got chatting. Months later, when I […]
You’re Engaged! Now What?
Hands up who got to celebrate the New Year with some new sparkle on their finger? If you said yes to forever over the festive season, you are probably still reeling from all the excitement. By now you would have called your parents, your best friends and no doubt celebrated with many a cocktail (or at least […]
