I couldn't believe that this beautiful woman is 51.

Robyn came into my studio in Bergvliet to have her hair and make-up done and then her two daughters, Georgia and Erin joined in so we could create some mother and daughter portraits. Her hubby, Mark joined us for the last few minutes of our session for an updated family portrait. She also brought in an outfit for an updated headshot to use on social media and LinkedIn.

I photographed headshots for Nikki two years ago and this time photographed her in my studio in Bergvliet with her two beautiful daughters, Sophia and Abigail.

I cannot believe that this woman is sixty years old - how lovely is she? Brigitte came into studio for some updated headshots and she also brought in her violin as she plays in an orchestra - which made for a fun prop.

This gorgeous family live in Lesotho and were down from Cape Town for a few weeks on holiday. Ziona is also a photographer, shooting mainly newborn babies....as well as an amazing cake artist. Their family had never had a professional photo shoot before and Zee was looking for beautiful portraits that captured emotion and the emotional connectivity between her family... which is what I just love to do! We met over Skype a few weeks later and narrowed the photos down to Zee's favourites which she chose to be displayed as fine art mounts.

Corne and Angelique are a very stylish and glamourous couple - it was so much fun having them in studio. Angelique is the such a sweet woman and is a complete Marilyn Monroe lookalike.

I photographed Denise and her beautiful family a few years ago at their home in Joburg. This time they where in Cape Town for a weekend and wanted some updated portrait photographs. We did half of our shoot in my studio and then moved onto location for something different and to show some of Cape Town. These are some of the portrait shots. I absolutely love photographing this family - not only are they all just gorgeous but they are some of the nicest people I've had the priviledge of meeting.

Nikki is an actress in Cape Town who needed some updated headshots for her agency since she had chopped her hair off since her last photoshoot. She brought two outfits into studio and had her hair and make-up done by the lovely Tarryn Fox.

David Hufton was recently appointed as joint CEO of Sygnia in Cape Town. Their marketing department hired me to create some business portraits for PR use as well as for his online presence. I visited their offices in Greenpoint to create some different portraits and then we also did a session in my home studio in the Southern Suburbs for some more polished business headshots.

Delaney is a pilates and yoga and instructor and while it's true that she has a flipping rocking body, she is also one of the nicest, most gentle, warm, sincere and lovely humans you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. As she is so fluid in her movements and comfortable with her body, we played around with creating some tasteful near-nude shots and something with more of a 'boudoir' feel more than classic portraits.

I have photographed Justine several times over the past few years with her husband and little boy, Cameron. This time she came in for a portrait session on her own. We did some casual, glamourous and sexy images for her session.

Heather contacted me to create some personal branding-style headshots for her online presence for her new business and website. She doesn't wear a lot of make-up but I encouraged her to have her hair and make-up done as it adds such a polished and professional look to photos... and she still looks like herself. She brought in a few different looks and colours for her brand and website and I had so much fun hanging out with her and watching her enjoying lose her inhibitions and feel comfortable with herself and enjoy the shoot. Everyone who walks into my studio starts off feeling shy and tells me that they're 'terrible in photos' and I just love to relax people and draw them out of themselves.

Emma came in for portraits with her mom and dad before her end of school dance when she was all dressed up and looking beautiful. It is a beautiful idea to do a shoot at this time - to mark the end of a chapter.

We did this shoot to mark the end of a chapter ... Hannah finishing school and leaving her home and family in Joburg to explore the world on her own as a student in the Cape at Stellenbosch University. At only 18 years old, Hannah is so beautifully confident, mature and lovely. They both came into Cape Town to my studio and had their hair and make-up done and then I spent a bit of time photographing Hannah on her own, creating mother and daughter portraits and also some of Ang on her own. The rest of the family joined in at the end so we could get some portraits of the other kids and the family together. How lovely are these two women?

When Nadine first walked into my studio, she told me how she needed to lose a few kilos, how she is so unphotogenic and about how gorgeous her friend is. I was looking at her and thinking how lovely she is and think that she is incredibly photogenic and beautiful in front of the camera.

This gorgeous woman came into my home studio to have her hair and make- up done and then brought in a few outfits for some different looks. She wanted to create some images to celebrate her African heritage as well as some updated shots for work. Her 9 year old daughter and family also joined in for the shoot so we could create some beautiful mother-daughter images and family portraits but she asked that I don't share those on the internet.

Sam is the owner of a marketing consultancy called Grow. She needed an updated headshot for her new website and decided to make a full session of it with bringing in a few extra outfits. She had her hair and make-up done, we photographed her in a few different outfits and then her daughter's joined her for some photographs towards the end of the session.

I've known Karin since we were 18 at university together and she has always been confident, doesn't put up with rubbish, can be brutally honest knows what she wants and goes after it and is also one of the biggest softies with the hugest heart. When she asked me to do a portrait shoot with her at my studio in Cape Town, I was so excited as she is gorgeous. She came into studio and had her hair and make-up done and brought in a few outfits - her favourite one was her fluffy coat. We're going to print this one quite big for the wall....

Neebashnee contacted me a little while back to have a photoshoot of herself in Cape Town as she had moved down from Joburg a few months ago. She has also recently turned 40 and wanted to have a photoshoot in celebration of this milestone as well as moving cities. She brought in some beautiful outfits and Tarryn Fox did a beautiful job with her hair and make-up.

I knew that Donna would be just beautiful to photograph - she has a lovely and warm way about her and a beautiful presence. This is what she had to say about her shoot: "Now, to say that I am NOT comfortable in front of the camera would be an understatement. In fact, my initial response to doing this shoot was a hard NO! Doing a photo shoot and having to express myself in front of a camera is absolutely terrifying, and could easily be compared to being forced to go bungi jumping, honestly, for me it is on the same level. I did not, however, factor in Jules. Her easy manner and expert skills made me feel right at home in her amazing little studio. I wasn’t embarrased at all, and Jules gently guided me in getting the perfect shots. She made me feel like a SUPERMODEL. I strongly feel like every woman should be fortunate enough to experience this. It was WAY more than just a photo shoot. It was EMPOWERING. It changed how I see myself, and afforded me the opportunity to see how I could look if I gave myself half the chance to feel beautiful. As women we are SO hard on ourselves, especially when we get older! Now, as a professional person (over 40 mind you) I have some beautiful, PRO images and head shots of myself and I am so very grateful! Jules, you are a self-esteem boosting wonder woman, ridiculously talented, and so easy to get along with. Your studio is an absolute ray of sunshine and a really happy place for women."
