Here is a quick glimpse into my shoot with Ohna

Conversations with my camera… In my studio is where I am able to hold space for you. This is what the RAW sessions are all about. Stripped down and simple, just conversation. No pro hair or makeup - you do you. No photoshop, no fuss. Celebrating the beautiful REAL you that is perfect, just as you are - right now…

The RAW Session is a very personal study in black & white, allowing the focus to be on you AS YOU ARE, creating an unforgettable experience to remind you that you are more than “worthy” or “enough”. We are led to believe that only perfection is beautiful… how untrue. We are made perfectly imperfect - and that right there - is beautiful…

This transformational session works differently to the classic luxury sessions

  • images are delivered in Black & White

  • no retouching

  • no professional hair or makeup

But, our full service experience is still available to you, where each session includes

  • a personal consultation ahead of time to structure your session

  • one-on-one communication during the session that lays the framework for your images


Sessions start from R4 600 and includes:

1 - 1,5 hours in studio

Complimentary refreshments

Your favourite 20 digital images

The option of purchasing additional images or printed products

In all honesty, these RAW Sessions are not for everyone. It requires that we are present with ourselves, and allow ourselves to be vulnerable and to let go of “traditional” beauty standards that make us feel less-than. It requires that we, instead, challenge those thoughts and voices to appreciate that every part of us is infinitely amazing exactly as we are.
