Whether you're visiting Cape Town for a family holiday, honeymoon or special celebration, I'd love to help you capture this unforgettable chapter of your story.
As a Cape Town family photographer, I know some of the city's most beautiful locations, from iconic beaches and breathtaking mountain views to peaceful forests and hidden gems. Together, we'll create relaxed, natural photographs that you'll treasure long after your holiday has ended.
One of the best parts of planning your photography session is choosing the perfect location. Whether you're dreaming of iconic mountain views, endless beaches or peaceful forest walks, Cape Town offers something for every family.
Every location has its own unique charm, and I'll help you choose the one that best suits your family, the season and the style of photographs you're hoping for.
CAPE TOWN'S ICONIC TABLE MOUNTAIN BACKDROP
Iconic views of Table Mountain, wide open beaches and spectacular sunsets. Perfect for relaxed family sessions with plenty of space for children to explore.
MOUNTAIN AND OCEAN SCENERY
Known for its spectacular mountain and ocean views, Camps Bay is a wonderful choice for photographs. During peak holiday periods it can become quite busy, so if you're visiting in December or January, I'm happy to suggest alternative locations that offer a similar Cape Town feel with a little more space and privacy.
WIDE OPEN BEACHES
With its long stretch of unspoilt coastline and relaxed atmosphere, Noordhoek is ideal for families looking for a quieter beach experience. It's one of my favourite locations for capturing natural, genuine moments while your family enjoys everything this beautiful part of Cape Town has to offer.
PANORAMIC VIEWS
With panoramic views of Lion's Head, Table Mountain, the Atlantic Ocean and the city below, Signal Hill offers a variety of spectacular backdrops in one easily accessible location. It's an ideal choice for those looking to capture the beauty of Cape Town at sunset.
PEACEFUL WOODLAND SETTING
For families who love nature, Tokai Forest provides a calm and beautiful backdrop throughout the year. The soft light filtering through the trees creates a timeless setting for relaxed, natural photographs while children have the freedom to simply be themselves.

"Jo was absolutely amazing. We are incredibly happy about the outcome of the photos and she was so great with our children, a toddler and a baby. My husband who generally dislikes doing photo shoots, said he enjoyed it. We were both afraid of how awkward it can be but Jo made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her. I would recommend her over and over again."

"Joanne did an amazing job capturing our family photos. The photos came out so great!! It’s worth going back to Cape Town from Norway in the future just to do another shoot with Joanne."
