Emotive Lifestyle Family Photographer

Based in Cape Town, South Africa

Organic and client led is how I approach each shoot. Sessions are revolved around what your little(s) feel like doing.
My aim is to simply capture you as you would be and as you are; to have these photographs capture your organic interactions with each other.

I encourage you to be in the moment, to be present with your family, to focus only on each other to make the most of your session.
Let your story naturally unfold in its most simple state.
These are photographs you will be looking back at for decades and you want to be thrown back into that happy moment when you do!

Client Reviews

“When a family photo shoot doesn't feel like a family photo shoot but a rather special moment to bond, connect and have fun with your loved ones. The end result being an album of beautiful, raw and emotive images to cherish for years to come. Alex has crafted the art of taking snaps of subtle moments that turn into beautiful and captivating photos. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the lens that you forget she's even taking photos of you. Thank you for capturing the essence of our family, Alex. Also, for reminding us to have fun and for making us look SO good while doing it!”

- Jeandre Le Roux, Netherlands

“Being a photographer myself you naturally become more critical when looking for your own family photographer but Alex exceeding all expectations! I was looking to capture true family connection and that’s exactly what Alex delivered. I have 2 extremely crazy boys and she managed to capture our family as wild and free as we are, with all the emotion and chaos that goes with it. She captured the essence of our family exactly as we are and we love all our pictures so much”

- Lisa Reid, Cayman Island

“I just want to say a big big (huge) thank you for your beautiful photos! We are absolutely blown away by them and will treasure them forever.  I have had so many people comment on how beautiful they are. Aside from the photos, I wanted to add that we both agreed on the car journey home from the beach, that it was really special to do that and will be a lovely memory for us. You really put us at ease and we felt like we were just out for leisurely walk (albeit a windy one!) in a special place. What an amazing job you have (I’m envious!) and you are really amazing at it.”

- Rebecca Hardy, UK

“We highly recommend Alex for family vacation photo shootings!
We spent an evening with her at the beach. Even though Alex gave us some ideas how to best put ourselves into scene, we mostly just played with our daughter and had a good time. Alex than did a great job in capturing this free and playful atmosphere. The results are some of the most beautiful family vacation memory pictures we own. We can still feel this awesome atmosphere that evening on that beach every time we look at the pictures! Many thanks, Alex!”

- Leander Heilmann, Switzerland

“ "Completely and perfectly incandescently happy" One of Alex’s favourite quotes from Pride and Prejudice, and absolutely apt!! Alex, thank you for capturing this precious age and stage so perfectly!
These photos do our emotions such justice! I cannot recommend this whimsical joy of a woman enough - what a pleasure!! Each meticulously edited images is exquisite! Her patience in nappy changes, ability to make her awkward subjects (us) feel amazing, and her willingness to go above and beyond to achieve the images and capture the memories most important to us, made this whole experience exemplary. Will definitely be using her again, regularly.”

- Samantha Petrotta, South Africa

“I can't express enough how thrilled I am with our beautiful family photographs.
Alex has a magic way of making everyone feel totally comfortable and at ease and is an absolute joy to be around. Our photos are nothing less than exquisite and I am totally obsessed with every one.”

- Lynn Shapiro, UK
