Capturing life’s magical moments with a sprinkle of soul 🌟 | Fun-loving 🎈 & grounded 🌱 | Your go-to for heartfelt family & wedding snaps 📸 | Upper Highway’s own visual storyteller ✨ | By Gaylene Diedericks “Photography gives us the ability to remember the moments, the expressions, the light in someone’s eyes long after we have forgotten everything.” Gaylene Diedericks – Wild Soul Photography

I am

Gaylene, I am a photographer, a good one. This art is a never ending learning process and I love to find new ways to take better photos. Every photographic session is new challenge, a new opportunity to find magic in that moment I am in. I revel in making someone smile, catching a carefree laugh in my frame and knowing that in 5, 10 or 20 years time someone will look at this photo in fondness and love. Creating sweet memories, priceless glimpses into the past is part of this job and those who do it well do so because they allow themselves to feel and connect with the people and things in their frame. Every family I meet, every couple I share a wedding with, every single person has a story and my goal is to encapsulate that version of them, their essence, the soul behind the human, wild and free and express it in a way that is true and honest. You don't have to choose me, you can choose someone "less" or someone "more" and that would be okay. I only hope that you will take the time to see my work and know that in this story I am the story teller and you will not find anyone more invested in telling your story as authentically as possible.

✨ FAMILY SESSIONS | WILD SOUL PHOTOGRAPHY ✨

One day, these will be the photographs you treasure most.

The way your child still fits into your arms. The ridiculous laugh. The little hand reaching for yours. The way your family feels together, right now, in this season of your lives.

I’ve been photographing people and families for over 15 years, and for me, a beautiful family session is about so much more than everyone looking at the camera and smiling.

Yes, we’ll get those gorgeous photographs for the wall. But we’ll also make space for the real stuff. The laughter, cuddles, movement, connection and all those tiny in-between moments that actually tell the story of *your* family.

My sessions are relaxed, warm and gently guided, so you don’t need to know how to pose or worry about what to do. You simply arrive as yourselves, and I’ll take care of the rest. 🤎

📸 Family Sessions
30 Mins - R1950
45 Mins - R2750
1 Hour - R3500
1.5 Hours - R4500

15 Years experience

• Upper Highway area
• Beautifully edited high-resolution digital images
• A relaxed mix of gently posed portraits and natural, candid moments
• Perfect for couples, children and families

These aren’t just photographs for Facebook.

They’re the photographs your children will look back on one day and say, *“Look at us. Look how little we were.”*

And I think that’s pretty special.

There is something deeply beautiful about freezing a moment that will never exist again.

The way your child reaches for your hand without thinking. The laughter that wasn't planned. The quiet moments between the posed ones. Those are the memories that matter most.

At Wild Soul Photography, I don't just take photographs. I tell stories. I capture connection, emotion and the little moments that often become the biggest memories years later.

Whether you're looking for family photographs, couples, maternity, lifestyle portraits, branding, or beautiful images with your animals, my goal is always the same: to create authentic, timeless photographs that feel like you.

With over 15 years behind the camera, I know that the best photographs aren't created by forcing smiles. They're created by making people feel comfortable enough to simply be themselves.

If you've been saying, "We really need to book photos one day," perhaps this is your sign.

Because life keeps moving. Children grow. Grey hairs appear. Horses get older. Seasons change.

The photographs you don't take today are the memories you can't recreate tomorrow.

📍Based in Durban, travelling throughout KwaZulu-Natal.

If you'd like to chat about a session, send me a message. I'd love to help tell your story. 🤍
