There are probably not a cellphone these days that doesn’t come out with a little built-in camera, and at basically any department store it is possible to buy a decent camera to do the job of just capturing the family’s vacation, or baby’s smile, or your eldest first year at university. So that there still are a need for professional photographic studios to record people’s lives, is what makes us tick, and we’ve realized that people REALISE, that getting something done professionally, is the best way to go, if you don’t have that skill yourself.

We wouldn’t be in this profession if this is what we wanted to do, and although there are many people out there in the unfortunate position of being in a job that they detest day to day – we feel ourselves blessed, to use our talent and our keen eye, to make memories with everyone out there wanting to capture life’s moments. And sometimes hard stages happen which has to be dealt with and be worked through, and it’s then when you appreciate your loved ones more. They grow so fast, and have cunning things they do at certain stages, and being in the position of still having elderly parents might change any day.

We enjoy all sorts of families that come to our studio, as our market seems to be very divers, which keeps it interesting, and every family is unique in set-up and personality, which is why this profession will never get boring – the wonderful people that we get to see, keeps it interesting.
