Hi, I’m Nats.

I’m a family photographer based in Hout Bay, Cape Town, specialising in family, maternity, and lifestyle photography. With over a decade of experience, I create natural, relaxed images that feel honest and timeless.

I began my career running a busy advertising stills company in Johannesburg before moving to Germany, where I became a mom and fell in love with photographing families. Living abroad sharpened my eye for connection and story. Back home in Cape Town, I bring that same care, efficiency, and warmth to every session.

Many of my clients are international visitors—especially from Germany and across Europe—who want to document their time in Cape Town. Whether you’re here on holiday or local to the city, I’ll guide you through a relaxed shoot at beautiful Cape Town locations and deliver images you’ll treasure for years.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me walking in Hout Bay or adventuring with my son, Noah.

If you’re looking for Cape Town family photography that feels real and joyful, send me an email to start planning your shoot.
