Both my mum and myself have used Vanessa’s photography services and we could not be happier with the entire process & end results! Mum had hers dogs photographed and I had my daughter photographed with Santa.

It was the most comfortable my daughter has ever been around Santa, she didn’t even cry once! Just a little while into the session and she was having full conversations with Santa and that’s just never happened before! It’s so much nicer not being rushed through Santa photos at the large shopping centers. This year was truly an experience my daughter has not stopped talking about! I will definitely be coming back for future Santa photos.

My mums dogs are usually quite unsettled and even they were at ease in Vanessa’s lovely studio. Vanessa had no problems getting great shots of the dogs.

My mum is already booked in for another photoshoot for 40 over forty project. I will be going back for a family portrait and some model head shots of my daughter. Vanessa really does it all! We are so glad we’ve found Vanessa Van Straaten Photography! She really is great at her job, she’s professional, very personable & all round excellent value.

After my first photography experience with Ness, I knew it wouldn’t be my last. 🧡 I’m not a fan of being in front of the camera. I feel awkward, uncomfortable and very self-conscious. My first shoot with Ness was a ‘40 over 40’ makeover session. From the very first contact with Ness right through to receiving my photos in print at the end, I felt completely thought about, valued, comfortable, pampered, special and totally hot!!!🔥 The photos were amazing and on first glance at them, I actually skipped over them as I thought it was somebody else! 🤣 They were incredible and Ness was promptly booked for our wedding. And those photos were beyond amazing too. And we had the best time laughing, having fun and enjoying our wedding photos being taken – and all done in natural, easy normal poses. Ness has the unique ability to capture the essence and feeling in each photo. Ness manages to invoke feelings into her photography that totally moves and takes me back to the actual moment. You will come away with so much more then just a photo – you come away with a little bit of magic in each photo. 💜

Professional photographer, very welcoming, fast service, easy to work with and is great with kids! I am so happy I found Vanessa as she is absolutely amazing with kids, very patient, friendly and she does her job at its finest! My three year old daughter loves her, she did a great job on the shoot because Vanessa was very lovely. She had fun and that can be clearly seen on the images we got. All our photos turned out amazing! I think Vanessa is also a great photographer because she loves what she does. I felt the love and passion she has for her craft and that is why she is successful on her field. I highly recommend Vanessa to our friends and family. Excellent service, the best images, definitely worth it! Thank you again Vanessa for your wonderful work and I am looking forward to our next photoshoot.

I highly recommend and commend Vanessa. I worked with her for our clothing business and she gave us the most amazing images! With many emerging photographers now, it is quite hard to find someone who takes incredible images, at the same time has outstanding editing skills, great work ethics and truly passionate about her craft. It is evident that she has been doing this for several years. Vanessa is very professional, flexible and is impressively efficient!
It is truly an honour to be able to work with a highly respected, hardworking ‘Boss Mum’ like Vanessa. She knows her craft and she is very good at it. Quality service at a reasonable price. Worth every cent! We would definitely love to work with her again.

From the moment you met Vanessa you can tell she is passionate about photography and loves her job. I have always hated getting photos taken and it often brings anxiety, however Vanessa instantly put me at ease. She was professional, welcoming and incredibly patient with me.
She made the experience relaxing instead of my usual awkward and produced the most beautiful photos. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Vanessa is unique. I met her a few months ago when I enquired about her ad. Her encouragement, positivity, creativity, and sheer commitment to the job at hand was nothing short of brilliant! Together with her can do attitude, she produced images of me I thought were lost. As a 60 something woman, I felt I had nothing else to offer. She builds self esteem, confidence, and a reason to like yourself again. Vanessa really brought out my personality and this is testament in the photos she produced of me. Funnily enough, when I speak of Vanessa Van Straaten photography in conversations, others will say things like ‘ oh, I’ve heard of her, Apparently she is amazing’. Apart from being a fabulous photographer, she is a great person and I’ve noticed she takes time out of her day to promote other small businesses in the area.

Working with Vanessa was an absolute joy and such an amazing experience. Vanessa made me feel alive gorgeous and we had so much fun. I was so nervous as I had never done anything like this before but by the end of it my face hurt from smiling and laughing. The photos I received at the end were so beautiful and captured me, the true me. I still look at them and love them and remember what a great time I had. Vanessa makes everybody feel comfortable and gorgeous for who they are and I will always be grateful for that.

Vanessa took some great photos of our kids and captured both their personalities perfectly. We loved them so much that we then got her to do family photos for us and loved them too! We then went back for our kids to enjoy the Santa experience last year and really loved those photos!! Vanessa takes such amazing photos, that you just can’t help but to keep going back! She makes you feel so relaxed and really captures some great moments that I love looking back at time and time again.

Vanessa is such a professional both in her approach and her product. She makes you feel at ease and natural which definitely resonates in the photography. Vanessa recently took pics for promotion of my business. It was solely her passion and initiative for sharing her talent to promote local small businesses that we met and I would highly recommend her to everyone who needs a genuinely kind and highly talented photographic artist.

Vanessa came to me one day like an angel offering me to take pictures of me. She saw potential in me that I didn’t even know it existed. When I saw the final result it was like the picture was reflecting what she saw on me before she even take the picture, I was seeing through her eyes, she saw me as I never did to myself. From there my confidence went up to the moon. She is so talented and funny and friendly and professional. I have only have good things to say about her and her work. Looking forward to my next session with her
