About Esther Reid

My absolute love of photography was established in the early years of my life, and I have fond memories of my Dad holding a cine-film camera at each and every family event. Whether it was a birthday celebration, a wedding and yes - sometimes even a funeral – he believed it was important to be there to document all of life’s significant milestones. I inherited his passion for capturing the unforgettable moments in life.

About Me - Esther Reid

My love of photography was established in the early years of my life, and have fond memories of my Dad holding a cine-film camera at each and every family event. Whether it was a birthday celebration, a wedding and yes - sometimes even a funeral – he believed it was important to be there to document all of life’s significant milestones. I inherited his passion for capturing the unforgettable moments in life.

T wo years ago, we made the best decision ever – and relocated from the busy city-lifestyle of Cape Town to Plettenberg Bay in the heart of the Garden Route of South Africa. It has been a great opportunity for making new friends and spending more quality family time together - all while still being able to fulfill my passion as a lifestyle photographer.

I have a gentle, sensitive approach and completely understand that many people are camera shy and feel vulnerable when a camera is turned on them. The anxiety they feel is very real!

Trust and integrity are very important to me and I take special care in creating a calm, fun environment putting everyone at ease and many of my clients consider me more of a friend. This enables me to beautifully capture the sincere and natural moments shared amongst them.
