One Day, These Will Be the Photographs You Treasure Most.
Not because everyone was perfectly dressed, or because the children behaved. Because they capture the people you love, the person you are and the moments that deserve more than a passing glance on your phone.
A little less posing. A lot more you.
Some people arrive knowing exactly what they want. Others haven’t a clue what to do with their hands. Both are absolutely fine. I’ll guide you through the session, look after the lighting and create photographs that feel like you, only on a particularly good day.
More than a face in a frame.
Whether it’s a portrait for yourself, a milestone worth celebrating or a photograph with someone special, the best portraits reveal a little personality. We can keep things classic, relaxed or get rather creative. There isn’t one correct way to look like yourself.
People change. These moments stay.
Families are rarely perfectly coordinated, and that’s part of their charm. From two people to three generations, I’ll create a mix of natural connections and beautifully composed portraits. Yes, we can include the dog. We may even get everyone looking at the camera at once.
A chapter worth remembering.
Pregnancy has a way of making time feel both wonderfully slow and impossibly fast. Your maternity photographs can be soft and simple, intimate with your partner or more artistic and dramatic. You choose what feels comfortable; I’ll take care of making it beautiful.
Apparently, I’m Quite Good Company Too.
The photographs matter. So does enjoying the experience of making them.

★★★★★“Peter is absolutely brilliant. His fun nature and of course excellent photography skills makes for an amazing experience.”
“His style elevates any shoot from boring and the usual to exciting, unique and exquisite.”

This is an optional add-on to your booked package. Your package’s professionally finished images remain included. Additional JPEGs are supplied without individual retouching. Test frames, duplicates and technically unsuitable images are excluded. Original camera RAW files are not supplied. Additional images are available for purchase for up to 30 days after your session, subject to file retention.
Beautifully Finished. Clearly Explained.
Every photograph included in your package receives professional attention. That includes exposure and colour correction, contrast, cropping, colour styling and appropriate portrait enhancements.
Sometimes a photograph needs more than polishing. Replacing backgrounds, combining people from different photographs, changing the colour of clothing or removing significant objects is advanced editing, not standard photographic finishing.
I’m happy to discuss these requests. I’ll explain what’s possible and provide a price for approval before beginning the additional work.
A Fair Approach to Revisions
Your package includes one round of reasonable minor adjustments to the finished photographs. Please send your requests together within 14 days of delivery so I can address them consistently.
If an agreed edit has been missed or I have made a technical editing error, I will correct it without charge. Further changes of preference, or new requests after the included revision round, are charged at R150 per image for minor adjustments. More extensive changes start at R350 per image, with a quotation provided before work begins.
Once your requested revisions have been completed, further subjective changes are treated as new editing work.
Editing & Revisions
| First round of minor revisions | Included |
| Additional minor revisions | R150 per image |
| Substantial further revisions | From R350 |
Advanced Editing
| Background replacement | From R450 |
| Significant object removal or alteration | From R650 |
| Combining separate photographs | From R950 |
| Complex creative composites | Quoted individually |
Prices are starting rates per image. Complex composites are assessed according to the source photographs and time required. No additional editing is undertaken without your approval.
A Few Questions, Answered
Do I need to know how to pose?
Not at all. I’ll guide you through the session, from where to stand to what to do with your hands. Looking comfortable is part of my job, not yours.
Can my partner, children or other family members join?
Yes. The Essential includes up to 2 people, Signature up to 4 and Complete Portrait up to 6. Additional people can be included by arrangement at R350 per person, provided the session allows enough time.
Is makeup or hairstyling included?
No. Both are optional, so you only pay for them if you’d like them. Professional makeup is R1,200 and hairstyling is R500, arranged in advance.
Do I receive every photograph taken?
Your package includes the stated number of professionally finished photographs. Additional finished images are available to purchase, or you may choose the optional Complete Image Collection of usable, unretouched JPEGs. Original camera RAW files are not supplied.
What editing is included?
Professional colour, exposure, contrast, cropping and appropriate portrait finishing are included, along with one round of reasonable minor revisions requested together within 14 days of delivery. Editing mistakes and missed agreed instructions are corrected without charge. Further preference-based revisions cost R150 per image for minor changes, while more substantial work starts at R350 per image. Major alterations, background replacements and combining separate photographs are additional services quoted before work begins.
Can we photograph outdoors or at another location?
Absolutely. Tell me what you have in mind when you enquire. We’ll discuss what works best for your session, along with any applicable travel or venue costs.
Where is the studio?
My private studio is in Randpark Ridge, Johannesburg. Exact arrival details are provided when your session is confirmed.
The people you love won’t look quite like this forever.
That’s rather the point. Whether it’s a portrait of you, the whole family or a new chapter on the way, I’d love to photograph it properly.
