This is an incredible experience in my journey of life that I felt compelled to share...

Feeling relaxed enough to allow an almost complete stranger to look down the lenses of his various cameras; long enough to capture a moment in my life that I will cherish for the rest of my days is almost miraculous and definitely magical.

My friend Ross Grieve (also a photographer now based in Wales) had strongly recommended Johan because he had studied his results with keenness. The feeling I got from Ross was that he was impressed by Johannes’s creativity and innate ability to produce captivating yet creatively simplistic shots, inspirational even to a photographer.

I am controlling by nature and someone who believes strongly in fate and meant to be so for reasons beyond my knowledge, I knew when I met Johannes that it was in my best interest to give him total creative freedom during the shoot. My first impression after meeting was one of nervous anticipation crossed with absolute relief.

A genuine, caring and trustworthy guy with a strong desire to bind together information, thoughts and feelings, delivering a magical photo collection that would last a lifetime.

I have three gorgeous boys 8, 10 and 12 and never had the confidence to take such a brave step during past pregnancies. I have often since looked back (as many women do when it is too late) and wished I could’ve just let go. This was a huge breakthrough for me on so many levels.

For many years I have always been camera phobic and any sign of a camera NEAR me sent shivers down my spine. The exciting thing about me giving such a talented artist creative freedom, is that I get to experience an amazing outcome I never imagined possible.

From one creative being to another… Thank you
