I'm Jess and I want to be your newborn and family photographer.

​

I'm a gentle creative with a life-long baby addiction. I've been working with newborn babies and their parents for the last 20 years; first as a trained nurse and midwife, and then as a photographer. I love "Love" and nothing represents love to me more than a brand new baby. ​I have combined my knowledge and understanding of newborns with my photography skills to safely create precious images for new families to cherish.

​

I run a dedicated newborn photography studio in Stellenbosch, South Africa. If I'm not posing little clients or creating unique newborn photography props to incorporate in my shoots, I'll be photographing kids and families all over Cape Town.

​

My best friend and I are raising two gorgeous teenage girls surrounded by the imposing mountains and lush vineyards of the Western Cape. In between parenting and figuring out this maddening, wonderful, terrifying, magical journey called "Life", I have loved welcoming fresh little humans and their brand new mums and dads into my home studio to capture moments through the best family and newborn photographs in Stellenbosch.

​

Because that's essentially what I do: I freeze time.

​

And this is an invitation for you to join me for a photoshoot that will freeze time for you and your family. I want to shoot the best photograph of you, your baby and your family that you have ever seen. I want to walk a part of your life journey with you and capture memories of your baby's first year and beyond. I want to create breath-taking family photographs that you will treasure forever.

​

If you are expecting a baby, have a baby, have children or love your mother enough to present her with an exceptional set of photographs of yourself or them, well, I'm your girl. Call me!

​

Much love from Stellies.
