I am Louise Diesel – photographer, businesswoman, wife and mother of 3 beautiful children. And I am blessed to be able to do what I love and love what I do.

I just love photographs!! I have always loved photographs…. as a little girl, I loved posing for them….. and as I got older I loved taking them.

From little, my dad allowed me to use the camera and taught me some basic tricks of the trade. I loved it and became the family photographer and videographer.

My brothers were both really good sportsmen and I think I filmed or photographed most of their sports growing up!

We had albums full of photographs and I treasured them all – I still do….

Becoming a mother of 3 beautiful children reignited my passion for photography, and I have never looked back.

I decided to make my hobby my profession and I love every minute of it!

I am a pofessional lifestyle photographer and photography is my passion. I would love to share my passion with you while capturing the special bond you share with your loved ones, while preserving the lifechanging moment when you make the biggest promise of your life or producing stunning imagery of your brand-new Ferrari…

My experience in the photography industry has taught me to produce technically superb images while capturing the very essence of everything I photograph.

Being followed by the lens of a professional photographer is a daunting experience and that is why I believe in making a shoot fun and enjoyable for every person present and voila – great photographs!

Driving to Durban normally takes roundabout 5 hours, do you agree? Add at least an hour and a half when you are travelling with me as I just can’t resist taking a “few” great landscape shots on the way. I am so engulfed in my passion for photography that sometimes I find it hard to define where I begin and my photography ends.

Being a woman I experience everything emotionally and strive to capture the magic of your special moments honestly.

Together You and I will create images that stir every emotion!
