It’s pancakes on the kitchen floor at midnight. It’s a two-person dance party on the roof of the parking garage. The way your hands fit together just right as you promise your lives to one another. It’s pillow fights with the kids, followed by tickles and then cuddles. The way their little faces snuggle tightly into the nape of your neck and the sound of that giggle when you pull a silly face.
It’s your life, EXACTLY as it is right now – in all it’s natural beauty.
Derryn has been our photographer from the very beginning, doing every shoot, from our wedding to each annual family shoot. She is the most gifted photographer, and her talent goes beyond just the photos. It’s the way she makes you feel when she is capturing your most special and raw times in life.
She is incredible in every sense of the word!
“I’m so glad that we did our engagement shoot with Derryn Schmidt Photography.
We were given enough direction to not feel awkward, without feeling as if the shoot was too scripted. It was way more enjoyable that we were expecting. Even for Ryan who didn’t think he’d enjoy himself at all!”
“We are so happy about the wonderful pictures Derryn has created for us. She shot our wedding in 2021, and captured some images of us once our family grew.
She puts us at ease, and we thoroughly enjoy her calming energy“
It’s pillow fights with the kids, followed by tickles and cuddles. The way their little faces snuggle tightly into the nape of your neck and how they look at you when you laugh. It’s your life – in all it’s natural beauty.
Tarryn and I have known each other since we were 3 years old, and were in school together the whole way through. It’s wild that here we are all these years later celebrating her pregnancy.
It’s not been a straight road for this friend of mine, so it felt like a huge honor to celebrate her journey through this portrait session. She deserves all the brownie points, high fives, hand shakes and pats on the back.
Your world is about to change T 🧡🧡🧡
This little girl has been chosen for you - a Mom who waited and worked so hard to share her heart with her child.

December is just around the corner, which means it’s time to start planning those extended family photo sessions. If you’ve been thinking about it, now’s the time to reach out so we can find a date that works.
For the first time ever, I’ll be taking a little time off over the Christmas period to slow down, disconnect, and just be with my own family. December is usually such a whirlwind, and this year I’m hoping to soak in a bit more of the magic that comes with it.
Thank you to the Roberts family for inviting me to their family home to photograph the 3 generations at a place very sentimental to them all. @learningfromluke
I have another wedding for you to enjoy. This is Hannah and Jordy who came over from the UK to get married in the presence of family and friends. @theweddingcosa created a magical event at the @thegalleryweddingvenue in the KZN Midlands.
