Big News!
I am so happy to share with you some BIG NEWS!!
Due to the recent knee operation that I went through, it forced me to look at my business and re-evaluate the way going forward.
I came to the conclusion that I need some help. I made the big grown-up decision to expand my business by hiring a second photographer.
Now, don't worry - my style will be copied by this amazing new photographer so the look & feel of my photography will remain exactly the same. I will still be the one doing all the editing to ensure that you receive an amazing end result, with the Samantha Jackson stamp of approval.
Now, the exciting part.....Introducing to you....
Caré de Wet
Caré is an amazing photographer. I had the pleasure of watching her do her magic in my studio. She recently rented my studio for a photoshoot and we immediately hit it off.
I am so happy to introduce her to you, my wonderful clients. I can assure you that her photography is amazing and she is such a lovely person.
We decided to have some fun with this introduction....so we asked her some "get-to-know-you" questions.
Here's what she had to say.
1. Do you prefer colour images or black & white?
It depends on the style of images and the colours in the original setting of the photos. Some photos have a moodier feel to it and then I love to play with black and white to enhance that. But if the light, colours, etc. are beautiful to begin with, I don't see why I would make it black & white.
2. What is your favourite movie?
This is a tough one. I'm torn between any Harry Potter movie (I know!) and How to lose a guy in 10 days.
3. Are you an animal person?
You can ask my 6 month old spoilt Spaniel 😆 I'm a huge animal person, preferably dogs, but any animal has the power to make my day.
4. Would you say you are an introvert or extrovert?
I'd say I'm an ambivert. I have a constant struggle between wanting to be left alone and the need to be surrounded by people. Put me in a room of people and I have a great time, but there's no turning back when my social meter reaches its limit.
5. Do you prefer drinking coffee or tea?
COFFEE! I don't like tea at all.
6. Name 3 things you would take with you on a deserted island?
I've been asked this question multiple times and I still have no idea. But my boyfriend, his Leatherman and a tent would probably be somewhere at the top.
7. What is your favourite meal of the day?
Dinner. Nothing like a wholesome meal after a long day.
8. What's your favourite tv show?
New Girl
9. Where is your favourite holiday destination?
I'm a sucker for the Karoo where there's nothing. Or anywhere along the West Coast.
10. Why did you become a photographer?
The idea of doing what I love and being able to make money from it has always been an appealing thought for me. Everyone has a unique story to tell, and for me, photography has the capacity to transform them into memories that will last a lifetime and would otherwise be forgotten.
Caré de Wet:
" I specialise in lifestyle and product photography for local brands, but recently expanded my area of expertise to include couple, family and engagement shoots as well.
In the little spare time my Cocker Spaniel puppy allows me to have, I love being outdoors, trying new recipes or reading a new book. And although photography kind of became my full time job, I still really enjoy capturing pictures of my life and those around me.
I’ve now been a photographer for almost 5 years, and I am grateful that my job takes me to some really amazing places and allows me to meet some great people as well. Each shoot is different from the last, and I love being challenged to capture fantastic photographs no matter what the occasion is, or what the weather is like.
My style of working on shoots is incredibly relaxed. I like the spontaneity and emotions that characterize each person. "
Welcome Caré, I look forward to working with you!
