Me & May

Destination Family & Wedding Photographer
BASED IN CAPE TOWN
Hi! I'm Lizel, the lady behind the lens. I'm obsessed with capturing meaningful moments and telling authentic stories through my imagery. Whether it's the tender moments between parents and their children or the joyful laughter of two newlyweds in love, there is nothing more fulfilling than helping others preserve these special memories for years to come.

I like to think that photography can disclose a lot about a person. Shooting portraiture is a uniquely intimate experience that can unspokenly reveal someone's personality. I'm always interested in people's stories and find myself drawn to photos that offer a glimpse into someone's life. But I often find myself thinking if a client were to take photographs of me, what revelations would they capture?
HERE ARE JUST
A FEW THINGS THAT
MAKE ME, ME:
I am an old soul at heart.
As a photographer, children are one of my favourite subjects. I love their innocent nature, playfulness, and their unbridled, un-manufactured quirkiness.
If you're not finding me hiking in a forest, dreaming about building a little garden cottage where I can live off my land, or doodling, you'll find me listening to music and working tirelessly :p
I find that I connect best with others who share my love of nature and view the world with an open mind.
Music is an essential component of my life. I have a diverse taste in music but often find myself listening to timeless 80s classics while editing.
Most importantly, I'm a dedicated mom to my beautiful curly-haired, ocean-eyed girl.
