What families say

★★★★★
Kobus did an amazing job with our extended family photo shoot! We’re absolutely thrilled with the results. He was incredibly efficient and handled our large family — including small babies and some less-than-enthusiastic participants (read husbands) with such ease and professionalism. He kept things moving smoothly and made the whole experience enjoyable. We also received our beautifully edited photos very quickly and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. I can 100% recommend Kobus!

Kobus was excellent with my family and extended family. We got fabulous photos and wonderful memories. He’s also very relaxed with kids, which helps when you have crazy toddlers. We’ve done more than one shoot with him and will surely book again in the future!

Kobus has done our extended family shoots for 2 years now. He is VERY patient when trying to rangle the family together and really captured beautiful moments. He was excellent with the two toddlers and was able to take some wonderful photos of them playing together. Would highly recommend him.
