Signature experience

A gift that keeps on giving
We know how important a great portrait can be. An image that perfectly captures the character of the people we love can hold us, inspire us and sustain us through the hardest of times.
Not just a photograph
Each portrait is a work of art; composed, lit and edited to be something you will cherish. Our final artworks are beautifully printed, mounted and available in bespoke presentation frames.
Made with love
From beginning to end it's all about you (or the people you love). We want to get to know you so that we can create a selection of portraits that beautifully represents you.
The choice is yours
It's up to you how many portraits you take away from the session. We'll make sure that you have a great selection to choose from and be on hand to advise, if you can't decide.

Three easy steps...
1 - Schedule
Contact us using the form below and we will schedule a call to get to know you and book a studio session to suit your schedule. After the call we will send you a bespoke style document as inspiration for the shoot.
2 - Shoot
Our studio shoots are unlimited but are usually up to three hours. We have a stylist and makeup artist on hand. Bring as many wardrobe changes as you like and we will take care of the rest. Your job is just to show up and enjoy the day.
3 - Select
A week later, you come back to the studio for the portrait reveal - a fun, one hour session where we look through all the portraits together and you choose the ones that you want.

Our studio is based on a leafy, quiet street in the suburb of Melville, Johannesburg. We are available from 10:30am to 5pm every week day.
Final images will be delivered within 3-5 working days of the portrait session, once the balance is paid. If you need the images urgently, let us know and we will fast track them.
In the lead up to the portrait session, we will discuss your needs and send you a mood board and style guide. Together we can pick out the best colours for you and the most complimentary backgrounds.
Every portrait that comes out of our studio is a work of art. When you buy a portrait from us you get a beautiful mounted print (11" x 14") plus the digital file of the image. The cost is the same if you just want the digital file.
