Capturing the Heart of Wholeness

Photographing the lovely Jana reminded me of the power of visual storytelling. It’s not just about capturing a person; it’s about conveying the heart and soul of a person and photographing a holistic coach is about conveying a sense of calm, clarity, and connection they have with their clients showcasing their dedication to empowering others on their journey to balance and harmony.

When Jana and I met in person, we chatted as if we had always known each other.  I love working with clients like this, it made capturing the essence of Jana’s transformative work much easier.  As a lot of Jana work is done remotely, we wanted to capture the essence and commitment of her profession, all the while being mindful of representing her in her absolute authenticity. 

Listening to Jana’s passion for nurturing body, mind, and spirit was inspiring. Her devotion to helping others find inner peace and self-love shines through.  Our session was a beautiful blend of indoor and outdoor settings, from meditative moments to operational visuals, every shot was infused with Jana’s warmth and compassion.

What struck me most was Jana’s genuine passion for empowering others. Her presence is calming yet energizing – a true embodiment of wholeness.

Contact Jana to help transform your life from within, restore your energy, and reclaim your peace and inner balance.

Additional Photography Offerings

Some photographers offer a variety of additional services from book printing, canvas prints and in my case, guest information guides for guesthouses.

In the hospitality industry, every establishment strives to provide a unique and memorable experience for its guests.

While comfortable accommodation and excellent service are fundamental, it’s the little touches that often leave a lasting impression. One such touch involves an information guide about the guesthouse as well as local attractions, restaurants, and activities in the area.

Through carefully curated recommendations and tips, guests can discover hidden gems and create unforgettable experiences during their visit, enticing them back for another stay.

Additionally, collaborating with my proprietors all work can be done remotely after photography services are complete. Alternatively, they can provide me with photographs they already have.

Small Studio Photography

The biggest challenge when working in a small studio is having to manoeuvre around light stands, tripods, and other equipment which can take up a lot of space challenging the creativity of various compositions for your subjects who may have their movement restricted in the space.

Despite the space challenges, it’s a great opportunity to be creative by using unconventional shooting angles and using unique props.

A small studio is however well suited to product photography allowing for an efficient workflow and being able to easily manipulate lighting, backdrops, and props to create the desired ambiance to properly showcase a product.

Wax and Looms

Wax and Looms provides well-tailored handmade clothing, accessories, and household decor items using traditional Ghanaian techniques of hand printing fabric using wax, weaving by looms, and bead making using traditional ovens.

Their products are made by designers and artisans in both Ghana and Mauritius to bring the goodness of authentic handmade items with a modern twist in a manner that remains true to Ghana while attracting global clientele.

Their mission is to share the goodness of handmade clothing, accessories, and household decor items that are sustainable and stylish while empowering communities to safeguard their traditional techniques.

Wax and Looms celebrates beauty and femininity in all shapes, sizes, and skin tones with their clothing and accessories being designed in colours and styles to compliment all women.

Interior Design Photography

Whether it’s the polished elegance of a corporate headquarters or the cozy charm of a family home, interior design photography invites viewers to explore, to dream, to imagine.

Whether it’s corporates seeking to embody their brand’s ethos or a personal client yearning to translate dreams into reality, interior design photography transcends mere imagery, right down to the small details of the knickknacks

For corporate clients, interior design photography serves as a crucial tool in shaping brand identity and conveying organizational values. Every nook, every texture, every hue becomes a canvas upon which the brand’s story is painted.

For private clients, interior design photography takes on a more intimate dimension.  Every corner, every ornament, every beam of light holds significance.

In the vast tapestry of interior design photography, the lines between corporate and private clients often blur, giving rise to a symphony of creativity and expression.

Family Love Captured


A family gathers, not just to capture a moment in time, but to weave the threads of their love into a tapestry of memories.

It’s not just a photoshoot; it’s a symphony of laughter, embraces, and family fun.

Each smile holds a story, each embrace a chapter in the book of their lives. They are not merely posing for the camera; they are baring their hearts to the world, inviting us to witness the beauty of their bond.

Amidst the laughter and joy, stands the pillars of wisdom and grace, the grandparents. Their weathered hands tell stories of a lifetime, each line etched with the wisdom of years gone by. In their embrace is a warmth that transcends time, a love that knows no boundaries. They are the keepers of tradition, the guardians of heritage, passing down tales that span generations like precious heirlooms.  Their hearts swell with pride and gratitude, knowing the legacy they have built will live on in the hearts of those they hold dear. In their presence, there is a sense of continuity, a reminder that love knows no age, no bounds, and that family is the truest treasure of all.

In the tender embrace of a mother’s arms, we see the embodiment of unconditional love – a love that knows no bounds, limits, or conditions. Her eyes, aglow with pride and tenderness, speak volumes of the sacrifices made and the dreams nurtured. Beside her stands a father, a pillar of strength, his gaze filled with unwavering determination and quiet devotion. He is the anchor, the guiding light.

And then there are the (grand)children – the embodiment of hope, innocence, and endless possibilities. In their laughter, we hear the echoes of a thousand dreams waiting to be realized, of a future waiting to unfold. They are the promise of tomorrow, the keepers of the flame that burns eternal in the hearts of their parents.

Capturing each moment, freezing it in time, there is a sense of magic in the simple act of being together, of sharing laughter, of celebrating the journey that brought them to this moment.

Colourful Mauritius

We are lucky to call Mauritius home for the second time.  It’s a culturally rich and diverse tiny island bopping about in the Indian Ocean – 45km wide and 65km in long.  The home of the extinct Dodo.

Looking back on photographs when we were a younger and slimmer and recalling the memories, living here again feels richer, more fulfilling – could just be being that much older or possibly having more knowledge of the island.  That being said, I have only experienced a fraction of the kaleidoscope of experiences that the island has to offer.  Either way, it is a mecca for a wide variety of photography.

Wildlife Photography

Encountering wild animals is a breathtaking experience. Whether it’s the tranquillity of watching a buck graze or the exhilaration of seeing one of the big five.

It is always a privilege to have the opportunity to observe and photograph animals in their natural habitat witnessing their behaviour and interactions.

It is also a reminder that so many aren’t able to see animals in their natural environment which reinforces the appreciation of how special it is to be in the presence of the untamed creatures.

Navigating the Challenges and Joys of Pet Photography

Pets are more than just companions, they are beloved members of our families, and capturing their essence through photography has become increasingly popular although pet photography presents a unique set of challenges and joys.

One of the biggest challenges in pet photography is the unpredictability of animals. Unlike human subjects, pets can be restless, easily distracted, or even uncooperative during a photoshoot. They may not understand commands or directions, making it difficult to capture the perfect shot.

Patience is not just a virtue but a necessity when photographing pets.  It often takes time to build trust and rapport with the animal to capture authentic and candid moments. Waiting for the right moment when the pet is relaxed or engaged can be a test of patience for any photographer.

One of the most rewarding aspects of pet photography is the opportunity to capture the genuine personality and emotions of the animal. Whether it’s a playful romp in the park or a tender moment of affection, pets have a way of expressing themselves that makes for truly heartwarming photographs.
