A few days ago, I stepped away from my laptop and deadlines to spend the day with my family at the Chelsea Flowers in Stanford. The blooms were breathtaking, but so was the reminder that balance doesn’t come easy when you work remotely. It’s hard to pause, harder still to feel like you’ve earned it. But time with loved ones, beauty and stillness… that’s the real work too.
And yes, I know how tempting it is to keep pushing, to always be “on” but stepping back is part of showing up fully.

Sometimes I look around and feel a deep, quiet gratitude. This little business didn’t appear overnight, it’s been built with grit, grace and a whole lot of hard work. I’ve studied, stretched and driven to Cape Town more times than I can count, chasing every chance to learn and grow.
I’m deeply grateful to the loyal clients who took a chance on me, the new ones joining the journey and the friends and family whose support, encouragement and belief in me have helped me keep going, especially on the days when it’s anything but easy.
So here’s to the journey, the joy and the people who make it all worthwhile!

A few days ago, I was photographing a client’s beautiful business, capturing the textures, the light, the little moments that make a space feel alive. We paused for a short break and she handed me a cup of coffee that I’m still thinking about. Smooth, rich and served in the most charming flower-covered mug… like Spring had quietly joined us at the table.
It was one of those unexpected pauses that reminds you why you love what you do. Not just the creative process, but the connection. The way a shoot becomes a conversation, a collaboration, a shared moment of care.
Now, as Spring officially begins, I’m holding onto that feeling. The reminder that new beginnings don’t always shout, they arrive softly, in warm mugs and kind gestures, in fresh ideas and the courage to start again.
To my fellow creatives: may this season bring you gentle inspiration, bold new chapters, and the kind of work that fills your cup, literally and figuratively.

A tail-wagging thank you, Swellendam! 🐾
When my client and I put out the call for a dog to star in a photo shoot for Kaylie’s Place, a pet- and family-friendly self-catering gem, we were absolutely bowled over by the response. The whole town joined in, sending in the most delightful doggy portraits. From scruffy charmers to regal fluffballs, each one brought a smile to our faces.
After much tail-wagging deliberation, Charles, the dashing pup of Yanou Ceulaers Olderwagen, was chosen to take part in the shoot. He was a natural in front of the camera, what a star!
Thank you to every single person who shared their beloved pets with us. Your kindness, enthusiasm, and community spirit made this moment truly special. Swellendam, you never fail to show up with heart.
📸 Special thanks to Margaux Tait, MT Studios – Photographer extraordinaire!

Remote Workers Networking Meet-Up
This past week, I had the pleasure of joining a heartwarming gathering of remote creatives at Grace + Merci in Swellendam. The meet-up was initiated by the inspiring Jenni van Niekerk and graciously hosted by Bev Missing.
As someone who often gets deeply absorbed in work, it was a breath of fresh air to connect with others who share similar paths. We swapped stories, shared skills and reminded each other that behind every screen is a vibrant, talented human.
Grateful for the connections and for the reminder that community is just a conversation away ☕

Level up alert: Strategy in one hand, latte in the other!
I’m beyond excited to join the Coffee Colab with Margaux Tait, MT! Even in our small town, because our client portfolios span South Africa and beyond, our skill sets rarely overlap.
But when we do share clients, we’re the ultimate dream team. Margaux owns the visuals; styling, shoots, all the vibe, while I dive deep into the strategy and backend; digital/hospitality marketing backend, online listings, channel manager setups and social media.
I’m expanding my photography skills and Margaux has been the best mentor, showing me lighting tricks, composition tips and styling secrets. Working alongside her creativity is pure inspiration!
Here’s to blending brains and beauty, strategy and style, one coffee at a time. ☕️💕
Thank you to Alison and her team at Schoone Oordt Country House for making this such an incredible experience!

Working alongside Margaux Tait's creativity is pure inspiration! ✨

I had the privilege of experiencing “Fragrance & Flavour Fusion” first-hand last week, an extraordinary interactive workshop experience masterfully crafted by Bev Missing, an offering that redefines what it means to engage the senses and ignite curiosity. This is not just a workshop; it’s an inventive journey where scent and taste intertwine, whether you’re a traveller looking for a unique adventure, a local business wanting to elevate your guest experiences, or simply curious about the magic of hospitality done right, “Fragrance & Flavour Fusion” brings together the best of Swellendam’s warm hospitality and inventive spirit.
Bev, your vision and dedication shine through every detail. The creativity, relentless attention to beauty and sheer care poured into both planning and ex*****on are nothing short of mind-blowing. Attendees are immersed in a world where each nuance is thoughtfully curated, creating moments that surprise, delight and inspire.
This is a rare, unique and truly curious experience—one that elevates hospitality, leaves a lasting impression and sets new standards for what an industry workshop can be. “Fragrance & Flavour Fusion” comes highly recommended: a testament to what happens when passion and innovation collide. Well done, Bev, on launching something so beautiful and unforgettable!
