Capturing your story one frame at a time
My name is Joanne, and welcome to my website!
People often ask me if I'd ever change careers, and my answer is always the same, a big no! I genuinely love what I do.
For more than 20 years, I've had the privilege of photographing families, couples, weddings, events and businesses, and I still get excited every time I pick up my camera. One of the best parts of my job is meeting new people and capturing genuine moments that will be treasured for years to come.
Based in Cape Town, I specialise in family photography, intimate weddings, corporate and event photography, and I'm always happy to travel for sessions.
Have a look around my website, and if you like what you see, I'd love to hear from you. Together, let's create beautiful memories that you'll treasure for years to come.

"Jo is kind, funny, professional and extremely good at her work. On our wedding day, she felt present but not in one’s face. She was punctual and stayed as late as possible, ensuring every special moment was captured. She blended in and became an essential part, laughing with and crying with us.
She was authoritative with taking family photos, yet funny and kind.
Looking back at the photos, she captured every hidden moment in such a way that makes one relive the photos."

"This was our second family photoshoot with Joanne in Cape Town, after our stunning first we had to come back for more! Joanne is relaxed and gives directions throughout, and she has an eye for special locations. We will be back again!"

"We had a shoot with Joanne in January 2023 when we were home in Cape Town visiting family and it was such a lovely experience. Joanne is a true professional. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed because she was so good at posing us. The photos are absolutely beautiful and I love how she captured us with a mix of posed and candid moments. I am so grateful-not only to have such special keepsakes from our time in Cape Town with our family, but also for how easy and enjoyable the whole experience was."

"Joanne photographed our wedding in Seychelles about 9 years ago. Every year we come from Europe to South Africa and she takes our family photographs. It's always totally relaxed, informal and fun. I am always amazed at our fantastic and professional photos at the end.
Thank you Jo for giving us such wonderful memories."

"Since more than seven years we let Joanne accompany us photographically on every South Africa vacation. We are thrilled by her creativity and spontaneity every time and always look forward to the great photos. Our children are always very enthusiastic because Joanne knows exactly how to motivate them to do their best. We are already looking forward to next year and the photo shoot."
