I am based in Gauteng, more specific, Pretoria East. I travel once/twice a month to the Garden Route. As far as distance of traveling, I LOVE to travel, so feel free to direct your request to my contact details for further discussion.

I simply love the golden look of the sun touching the earth. The only time of the day where we can get that look is with sunrise or an hour before sunset. It creates that golden, gorgeous, warm and soft romantic light for photos! It is best to plan your shoot around that {if the weather plays along!} With cloudy days, don’t worry – as long as it is not pouring, we can still shoot and be creative!

YES! I highly recommend that =) The more effort you put in the shoot, the more of the WOW factor your photos will have.

A photo shoot is meant to be FUN! Be yourself, laugh, be adventurous and just have a great time! The right LOCATION is key in creating beautiful images… Choose a location that has a lot of natural light so that I can play with my best friend, LIGHT! =)

My biggest piece of advice would be to look like a unit. Avoid looking like an unfinished Rubix cube. Choose a colour scheme and mix and match accordingly. Natural toned colours or soft pastels usually look amazing! In other words, coordinate your wardrobe as best possible! It’s not lame, it will look good, I promise! I’ve been doing this for long enough to know you’ll be much happier with the end result! This will give you beautiful natural looking photos and it won’t look like I gathered a few strangers from the street to have an impromptu shoot.

This is a great tip for the ladies: GET YOUR MAKEUP DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.. Yes, I’m yelling a little. I can’t stress enough what difference this makes to your photos. Even if you only want a natural look, PLEASE still book a professional artists and ask for that.. I promise you will thank me afterwards! Budget for it or ask for an early birthday gift, whichever way, just do it.. I’m happy to make recommendations.

Having a nice camera doesn’t make you a photographer. A good photographer understand their gear and chooses the equipment that most suits their needs to create their art. A combination of talent, an eye for detail, time of the day, passion, love for what you do, people in the photograph, emotion, the perfect location and camera gear makes up a good photograph. By saying that, see below the equipment that I use:

• Canon 5D mark IV camera body
• Canon 24-70mm USM F2.8
• Canon EF 70-200 L USM F2.8
• Canon EF 100mm F2.8 Macro
• Canon EF 135mm F2.8
• Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG ISM Art Lens

NO, sorry! I only book a date once I received the R500 non-refundable retainer fee.

YES! I first studied Bcomm marketing at Stellenbosch University for 3 years. After I graduated, I studied Commercial Photography at Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography.

If La’ane Photography’s photographs are published on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, magazines, or any other media, the necessary credit must be given.

If you are running late, please let me know as soon as possible by calling me on 082 210 9662. As a natural light photographer the sun is my best friend. If you are late, keep in mind that your session will be shorter as we only have a few minutes of that golden late afternoon light. I know traffic can be hectic, but please plan ahead. If you are more than 15minutes late, the shoot will be cancelled and you have to rebook your shoot.

I do have a home studio in Pretoria East, but it is only for my styled / fine art newborn shoots. If you do want a studio shoot, we can rent a natural light studio at an additional cost. 

Family, maternity, couple, portrait etc shoots are done on a location of your choice. After your R500 retainer fee (to secure your date) is paid, we can discuss the look and feel you want for your photographs. We can then work together to come up with the perfect location. Please keep in mind that most venues/locations do ask a venue fee. 

The styled / fine art newborn session takes place within the first 5-10 days from birth. This makes it easier for me to pose the baby. If you book a lifestyle newborn session, anytime within the first month is perfect, but the sooner the better.
