These Then & Now photographs are not simply photographs.
They are a record of time passing — of love growing quietly across years.
Becoming a mother changed how I see.
It taught me how quickly moments slip into memory, and how deeply we long to hold on to what matters.
To make these portraits, I asked whoever was nearby to press the shutter.
They are not always perfect photographs.
But they are real.
They are us.
This collection reminds me why I photograph — as a portrait photographer in Johannesburg — to witness what is fleeting, to honour connection, and to create what will endure beyond the moment.
In sharing it, I hope you see your own story reflected — the people you love, the memories you carry, and the moments you never want to lose. Where you might discover echoes of your bond and moments that feel quietly familiar.
