Hey there, I’m Chanelle.I am a natural light lifestyle photographer based in Cape Town, and I am completely in love with documenting the unscripted, beautiful moments that make your story unique.Whether you are celebrating a milestone, capturing your family’s laughter, or elevating your personal brand, my goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel like a warm embrace.

My approach

 

I don’t do stiff poses or forced smiles. Instead, my approach focuses on raw emotions, shared glances, and the magic of real connection. Living in the Mother City means we are surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world. As a local lifestyle photographer, I have spent years learning how the light dances across our coastlines. You will most often find me with my camera in hand at my three absolute favourite

beach locations:

Camps Bay: Where the iconic palms and dramatic Twelve Apostles backdrop create the ultimate golden hour magic.


Clifton: Perfect for intimate, wind-sheltered sessions against giant granite boulders and turquoise water.


Llandudno: A secluded paradise where the wild Atlantic surf and raw, rocky shorelines make for unforgettable, cinematic portraits. My goal is to make our session feel less like a formal photoshoot and more like a relaxed beach stroll with a friend. Whether we are catching the sunrise at Llandudno or chasing the last rays of light at Camps Bay, I can’t wait to meet you and tell your story.
