Cape Town’s festive season is a magical time, filled with sun-drenched days, vibrant energy, and breath-taking scenery. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with a wonderful family visiting from London, who chose Cape Town for their holiday escape. Their excitement to explore the beauty of the Mother City was infectious, and I couldn’t wait to capture their memories during a family photoshoot in one of my favourite secret spots past Clifton 4th Beach.
Clifton is known for its pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and iconic rock formations. As a Cape Town family photographer, I’m always on the lookout for locations that provide both natural beauty and a unique atmosphere. This hidden gem, tucked just beyond the bustling 4th Beach, offers sweeping views of Lion’s Head and Table Mountain. The dramatic rock formations created stunning backdrops, adding depth and texture to every shot. With the festive season in full swing, the atmosphere was alive with holidaymakers enjoying the sun and sea, adding a lively energy to our session.
The family—a lovely couple and their two children—were naturals in front of the camera. We began the session with candid shots of the kids exploring the rocky terrain, their laughter echoing against the backdrop of the ocean. The parents joined in, creating heart-warming moments as they held hands, shared smiles, and soaked in the South African sunshine.
I made sure to incorporate Cape Town’s iconic landmarks into the composition. Lion’s Head loomed majestically in the background, while Table Mountain’s distinctive silhouette added a sense of place to the portraits. The golden light of late afternoon bathed the family in warmth, enhancing the natural tones and creating that signature glow that makes Cape Town family photography so special.
