Good day, and welcome to my website and blog.
My name is Coreen. I’m a photographer, caretaker, lover of everything beautiful, and mother.

I’m from Cape Town, South Africa, but I spend a lot of time in North America with my partner who lives in Texas.

I am grateful for my family and friends, as they have been a great support system for me. It is because of their encouragement that I am here today, typing and posting to my photography blog.

I have always loved photography, and even though I didn’t have a decent camera, it didn’t stop me from taking photos with my little Pentax and Kodak cameras. In 2009, my ex-husband bought me my first DSLR, a Canon EOS 500D, and my dream of becoming a photographer became a reality.

Although I had no formal photography education, I believe that God gave me a talent, and I am thankful for the opportunity to capture the beauty that surrounds me. To improve my skills, I started reading up on photography, refreshing my memory, looking for ideas in magazines, and following other bloggers. Every day is a learning experience, and with each shoot, I can see improvement.

I enrolled in a photography course at The Photography Institute after returning from Scotland in 2019 to take my photography skills up a notch. I am proud to have graduated on June 10, 2021, and have learned a lot about myself as a photographer and my camera.

If you want to become a photographer, it’s important to get to know your camera and gear, take your time to get the shot right the first time, push your boundaries and try something new, go out and look for that wow photo, enjoy what you do, and practice, practice, practice.

I put my heart and soul into each photo, particularly when I’m doing a photoshoot of a family. My goal is for my clients to enjoy their photoshoot, which results in lovely photos.

On this blog, I will showcase some of my work and inspire and motivate others. I may post some personal stories from time to time and share some photos from my travels, along with information about the places I have visited.

All of my photos are for sale, and I will tag the post with #photoforsale. Additionally, all of my inspirational and daily affirmation photos are also available for purchase. If you want more information, please email me.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoy the photos and stories.
