, lifestyle photographer, Children... specialing in working with neurodivergent and interactive school portraiture
Family shoots, functions, events, bat_ and barmitzvahs, portraiture, weddings… Little wonder she was nominated by Your Baby magazine as one of South Africa’s top 10 children’s photographers. Childhood is a time of wonder, innocence, joy and curiosity. To best reflect these magical qu

alities, Safra works with children outdoors or in a relaxed environment. Her innate understanding of children means that she appreciates each child’s natural temperament and mood. Fun, fresh and at time serious, her work is nuanced and timeless. Safra’s pictures have graced the covers of many children's magazines. She has exhibited alongside Cape Town’s top photographers to raise funds for CHOC (Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa). Photographing children at play is no child’s play – but one that requires a leading children’s photographer of Safra’s calibre. She snaps children peeping, laughing, thinking, leaping, playing and on that rare occasion just being still. Safra's photographic repertoire includes individual portraiture, particularly children, and group photos of families,birthdays, weddings, religious ceremonies as well as private and corporate events & functions.

Eric Miles Cheshire Home has a very special place in my heart. It's a home with heart to 30+ physically disabled adults tucked away in Milnerton, largely dependent on donations from the public.

One of my all-time favourite photos. Shot on film long time ago (negs long time lost sadly, just a low res scan of a print left)... my cousin's first baby's first time of feeling grass on her feet. They live in the US, and I'd just started my journey as a professional photographer. Mom brought her outside wearing this gorgeous little dress and a pair of socks, with a blanket to sit on. Not on my shoot :) Off with her socks. And put her on the grass she was directed. Me not knowing too much about photographing babies, I wasn't prepared with stimuli or props, but my eye caught the nearby daisy bush and it generously gave me some of it's blooms for our little model. I shot it on film. Click. Done. There's still that feel of knowing when I've got the shot even though now digital does make one (not allowed to say the word) txxggxx happy :)

Fifty years of service and love !! What an amazing milestone to celebrate... 🩷

Rex de Waal was a service dog, trained by his loving human who raised from a tiny puppy. He intuitively knew when she needed his support - the bond between them was profound and the love they shared was so deep.
When Rex's body started showing signs that he had completed his duty in this form, I was approached to do a shoot to honour this beautiful boy and the love shared between him and his human mama.
His mom chose one of his favourite places, the beach, and knowing his hips were tired, we chose a time an place where the sand would be hard and the tide low ... and spent a morning creating these special forever memories amid a plethora of emotions.

I was further honoured to be with Rex and his mom when he gained his angel wings a week later ...

ALWAYS AND FOREVER SHOOTS are very close to my heart and everything about them is different. They carry with them layers of emotions that have to be navigated in both the planning and carrying out of the shoot.

Matric Dance marks a transition from one phase to a whole new world of possibilities.
This shoot was sooo special as I've known this amazing young lady and her family since she was tiny ...
I work both with and without flash to create different ambiances and to cover in situations where the light is unpredictable. And here I was asked to use the flash to create the feel of studio lighting :)
It was also so special to have the grandparents share in this special day...
