Hi there, I'm Dominique

Portrait photographer, born in South Africa, based in London.

I have been telling stories with my camera for 10 years, from my start in South Africa, to living in Hong Kong and Japan, and now, London.

I am all about creating a relaxed, joyful experience for you and the ones you love, to capture that intimate connection, in those in-between moments, where all the magic lies.

Preserving your milestones, no matter how big or small they may be. These memories will only appreciate with time.

I'd be delighted to turn your vision into a reality.

“We literally cannot sing Dominique's praises enough! Thanks to her ability to make everything flow seamlessly, it was the most relaxed, comfortable, natural, fun shoot.

We just love our photos - her professionalism and dedication to her talent are evident in every shot. We will treasure these memories forever. ”

KIND WORDS FROM MY CLIENTS

“I cannot recommend Dominique highly enough. From the outset she made the entire process stress-free and genuinely fun, which is no small feat, especially when kids are involved! Our kids not only co-operated, but truly enjoyed the experience. The quality of the photos themselves are outstanding. Although the shoot felt casual and spontaneous, the final results were great, and I'm a bit of a photography snob. The tone, final edits, and the quality of the images are exactly what we are looking for. her skill, coupled with her warm and engaging approach, makes her an excellent choice for any family looking for some great memories."
