My name is Janine Pretorius. I am a born and bred Free Stater but now call the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg my home. I am a mother, wife, beauty queen, and of course, a photographer. I am the proud title holder of Mrs. Africa 2022, and I use every aspect of my photography business to grow, learn and reach out to others around me.  

 

When I am not photographing weddings or families I like to spend my time with my husband and son. I also love doing charity work and helping aspiring models to reach their full potential.  

   

My photographic journey started in 2008 when I graduated from high school. I gained lots of experience after many years of learning, growing, assisting, and second shooting with other photographers. I photographed my first wedding in 2014 and my first family session in 2012.  

   

I left my full-time teaching career at the end of 2019 to full-fill my dream of owning my own business and being home with my son.  

   

I also have a studio at my home, where I create adorable cake smash sessions and also mini-sessions for every celebration of the year.  

   

Having the opportunity to photograph a session, is something so special and something so incredible. Not only is each session COMPLETELY unique, but I also love the whirlwind of emotions and the little moments going on in-between everything.  

   

I pride myself in the following:  

   

My work is HONEST. I capture what I see.  

I love creating styled sessions with a twist.  

 

I love meeting people and would love to tell your story as honestly as possible.  

Please feel free to contact me for information, pricing, or even just a chat!  

   

Janine
