The story of mila photography
My upbringing in an art-loving family instilled a deep appreciation for creativity and design. I've always had a deep fascination with art, photography and cameras. Looking back, it seems my path was clear from the start, I always preferred being behind the camera, capturing moments rather than being in them.
I initially studied Food & Consumer Sciences for two years at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology which eventually led me to switch my focus to photography. My formal journey into photography began with studies in both film and digital photography in 2005, which I absolutely loved. Learning to process film and print images in the darkroom truly ignited my passion for both photography and art. I discovered a love for working with people and found my speciality in wedding, lifestyle and birth photography. I'm grateful to have found a career that allows me to express myself artistically.
With over 20 years of experience, I'm confident in my ability to create beautiful images and capture your most intimate and candid moments. I consider myself an artist, and it brings me immense joy to be a part of any special event or milestone.
