Never start painting your house on a Friday.
It sounds productive.
It feels responsible.
It is a lie.

Friday painting never stays on Friday. It spills confidently into Saturday and Saturday doesn’t just bring paint, it brings projects. Suddenly you’re installing air conditioners, because obviously now is when you realise summer is coming.

Then the dust arrives.
Everywhere.
On surfaces you didn’t even know existed.

At this point, you’re no longer painting, you’re deep-cleaning the entire house like a contestant on a reality show, questioning your life choices.

And then, at exactly 17:00, it happens.
You stop.
You freeze.
You remember.

You have not edited a single one of your clients’ photos.

So if you’re wondering what I’m doing on Sunday…
I’ll be editing.
With freshly painted walls.
Clean air.
A spotless house.
And absolutely no free time.

Moral of the story:
Never start painting on a Friday.
It’s a trap.

Press forward. No pauses. No rewinds. 🚀

Your future self is watching , and every choice you make today is setting the tone for what’s next. 💥

Matric exams? DONE.
Matric farewell? NAILED. 💃🕺
Now it’s time for Lee-Angelo to hit the dance floor, celebrate the journey, and step boldly into the future with his crew by his side. 🎶✨

This was the last Matric shoot of the season, and honestly… what a way to end it.
Big dreams, fresh chapters, and main-character energy only from here on. 🔥🌟

One year down, a lifetime of love ahead ✨
ONE already, and the fun’s only just begun 🎉

Big love, big laughs, and a beautifully close-knit (slightly crazy 😉) family, because that’s where the magic lives 💛

I had the absolute pleasure of capturing this little angel’s very first birthday, wrapped in love, laughter, and family magic 🤍📸✨

Sometimes, an ordinary red poppy can tell an extraordinary story.

In the stunning gardens of Vergelegen Wines Estate, where sunlight dances on dew and whispers weave through the leaves, this single poppy stood, delicate yet defiant. Its scarlet petals caught the morning light, glowing like embers against the dark earth, a quiet reminder that beauty often blooms in the simplest forms.

I was inspired by the red poppy and the symbolism it carries, a flower of remembrance, not only for fallen soldiers, but for friends and loved ones who have touched our lives and left their mark on our hearts. ❤️

Through the lens, it became more than a bloom, it became a tribute, a reflection of love, memory, and the gentle passage of time. Each petal drifts away like spring memories carried on the wind, fleeting, tender, unforgettable.

In the heart of a shimmering kingdom, a young woman prepared for her matric dance. Her gown, woven from the midnight sky itself, shimmered with tiny stars that awakened with every step she took. The mirror reflected not just beauty, but a quiet kind of power, laughter soft as crystal bells, eyes bright with wonder.

As she descended the grand staircase, the ballroom fell into a hush. Candles flickered in awe, and enchanted lanterns drifted gently through the air, wrapping her in golden light. She moved as though born of starlight, graceful, unhurried, alive with joy.

That night, she danced like the wind through moonlit fields, her smile painting color into the air. For a heartbeat, the world forgot itself , and it felt as if magic had returned, breathing softly through her every step. ✨

You may be tiny, but you’ve already made the biggest impact. 🌸
Your smiles, your laughter, and your little giggles light up every room you’re in.
Loved beyond words by her family and I absolutely loved capturing her family and all the joy that surrounds them. 🥰📸🎂✨
