Vanessa van Straaten Portrait Photographer

Vanessa did our Christmas photos and they are just beautiful. So happy with how they turned out.

Vanessa made us feel relaxed. Prompted us nicely and was very friendly and easy to deal with. Photo turn around was very fast too!

My family and I really enjoyed our experience having a make-over and photo shoot with Vanessa and her team. She is truly committed to making the time special and the photography process enjoyable for all. We love the photos that she took and will treasure them well into the future. ️

Vanessa is amazing. We used her for our wedding photos and then a whole family shoot. She listens and you get amazing results.

Amazing lady and photographer - Happy with the results and will use again! Highly recommend. Nikki Knights

Vanessa is not only a super talented photographer, she is also a beautiful and kind soul. She took her time with me and made me feel super relaxed, comfortable, and beautiful. The result is just amazing, I am so happy with my pictures. Thank you so much Vanessa.

I recently has the pleasure of working with Vanessa for a headshot photoshoot, and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with her professionalism, expertise, and creativity. From start to finish, Vanessa made the entire process a breeze and ensured that I felt comfortable and at ease throughout the shoot.
Overall, I would highly recommend Vanessa Van Stratten for anyone in need of photography services.

Would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone wanting high quality photos. She made the whole experience comfortable and fun. She is highly skilled and professional, she knows how to take the perfect shots and to give you great guidance in posing. The atmosphere at her studio is very warm and welcoming and I was able to feel at ease and not nervous. The photo’s exceeded my expectations. Thank you! ️

I got to know this place through the introduction of one of my acquaintances and it was a comfortable time and passionate work while taking pictures. The results were perfect as well:) Highly recommend

We had some Santa/Christmas pictures this year with Vanessa and the whole experience was just magical! She made my very wary 4 year old feel comfortable and settled and we didn’t feel rushed at all. She captured the most beautiful pictures that we will treasure forever! We will definately be back to capture more precious memories in the future!

A fun day that I will treasure forever.

I was nervous about the photo shoot but as soon as I arrived I was greeted by happy Vanessa and her talented hair & makeup assistant. I was offered a refreshment … and I immediately felt comfortable and relaxed.

Vanessa taught me how to position my body and how to look into the camera and smile for the camera.

I felt invigorated and Vanessa made me feel beautiful during the shoot and even though I KNOW I’m not photogenic and I hate every photo ever taken of myself, I had a good inkling that these photos would be fine.

Ha! What was I thinking! I look stunning in the photos. I don’t know what trickery Vanessa uses because not only do I look slimmer, prettier and more radiant in the photos, I still look natural.

If you’re wanting a special day out and photos you can be proud of, get yourself into Vanessa van Straaten studio and JUST GET IT DONE. I promise, no, I GUARANTEE you’ll love your photos.

Big hugs, Vanessa. Thank you for your brilliance and care xx

Vanessa is very friendly, she made me feel comfortable so I could relax so she took nice pictures of me. Thank you Vanessa️

Absolutely loving my images!
Highly recommending Vanessa and her team.
I had such a great experience that assisted me to gain confidence.

Vanessa is a delightful person and great photographer. She did my first modelling portfolio and successfully made a group of new models at ease to capture perfect group and individual shots. She has a beautifully setup studio too?

Vanessa was great! She will get a smile from you and capture great photos. Her studio is nice and pleasantly cool in the summer.

I had an amazing experience with Vanessa. She made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is skilled, professional and nice too! I love how my photos turned out. Not only is she a skilled photographer but very talented as well! She knows when to snap the shutter to capture my best shot! Would definitely recommend!

From the moment you walk in her door, Vanessa creates a welcoming and fun atmosphere. You are pampered with a glass of champagne (if you wish) while your hair and make up is done. Then the fun starts; you barely notice that she is busily snapping away with her camera as she gently guides you through a variety of poses. All in all a wonderful and great fun experience. Do yourself a huge favour and go see her.

I loved working with Vanessa.
From the very first phone call, to a cup of tea during the shoot, her patient direction (with many laughs in between) and the stunning final product.
I recommend Vanessa, she is warm, professional and a delight to work with.

Vanessa,
We just wanted to say thank you for doing such a wonderful job for Irene. We were so pleased with the photos you took. We have had so many positive comments about it. We will definitely recommend you to family and friends. Thank you for being lovely to work with.

I would highly recommend Vanessa at Your Boudoir Photography Studio! I am amazed by the outcome of the photos and how empowered I felt after seeing the results. Vanessa does such a great job at making you feel comfortable in yourself while she directs you into different posses. I never once felt out of place or uncomfortable and I feel as though Vanessa makes sure of that!
