Hi, I'm Carike {Ca-ree-ka}. My husband and I emigrated from South Africa in 2017 and became Canadians in 2022. During that I became a mother, and the realization of how fleeting the time with my little one was inspired my love for Motherhood Photography.
I wholeheartedly believe Motherhood is extraordinary and should be documented as such. My approach is gentle, slow and relaxed and I strive to capture genuine connection in a timeless way. I go out of my way to make sessions easy and stress-free for mamas. It's my superpower to make moms look and feel absolutely gorgeous! Moments with your little ones should be documented and preserved.
If this sounds like the kind of photographs that you would like, I would love to chat more about creating beautiful, heirloom pictures.
Scroll on for a few things you really need to know!
Hello there! I'm Carike, your photographer and mom-friend.
Behind the Camera
Hi, I'm carike!
I draw inspiration from interior design (I am always busy with a design project in my own home or in the garden.) Seeing my flowers come back year after year gives me endless satisfaction.
