Indoor & Outdoor Photoshoots
the nude form is nature's mantle without the crustThere is no limitation in the wonderful surroundings available to us. Both couples and solo photoshoots are available outdoors, whether in the nude, strolling a beach, an artistic setting.
We are photographers, yet also artists, and as such, we challenge ourselves continuously to raise the bar in technical and posing abilities.
Telling your story, reflecting your authentic self is important to us.
Outdoor settings make us come alive where we melt into a natural surrounding.
We also offer model shoots.
Boudoir is
Choice and Decision
It is Personal
Everyone of age in a straight or same gender relationship is human.
There is more to life than being just male, female, straight or gay - we love people, free spirits, creative souls, and their inner beings for the stories they tell in photographic memoirs.
Just BE. Show your willingness to make yourself attractive to your partner as your partner does to you! Every person should accept him- or herself for who they are and can enjoy all the emotions of our beingness; to be gentle, loved, appreciated and cared for.
Honour the rituals of your heart, mind, soul and spirit.
To say "I Love You" differently

Antonovsky called it "coherence".
Maslow called it "transcendence".
Frankl called it "meaning of life".
We call it simply "being".
At Asna Photography™ we call it "beingness"

Boudoir Intimate Portraiture
Body-Positive, Value-Adding Rituals of the Mind, Soul & SpiritThis is an experience that reminds yourself how beautiful you actually are. Most clients do a session for themselves first, and sometimes as a gift to someone special second. Yes, you may think, I have never done this before; I am not beautiful, I am not sure if this is for me...
And yet, every person or couple, who engaged in the step of revisiting their 'selves' inside, have simply been awarded with the outcome of feeling liberated, feeling that they completed a challenge they put to themselves.
Couple Nude Fine Art
Our Togetherness, in a Photographic and Artistic ContextFor couples, I offer my understanding of the language of the nude, our otherness and sameness in our togetherness, in a photographic and artistic context. This aims to be a unique take on the photographic memoirs and documentaries I create of their togetherness and beingness - to help write their stories - in their natural nude form with each other.
As in dance, various messages are captured in stance and pose - also in our body language with one another; our feelings of appreciation, love and respect.
Solo Nude Fine Art
Honour Your BeingnessMany secretly consider this type of shoot. Yet everyone who has dared to do so, has been liberated, has found value-adding comfort in their decision to re-assure themselves of their beingness; that it is okay to have their skin wrapped around their souls as they have. As a photographer, I cannot begin to fully describe the wonder it is to see someone finding reassurance of their inner beingness during a photoshoot, where they can be their authentic selves in the privacy of a controlled and safe environment.
Artful Artistic Soul Nude Fine Art
The Primary Goal of All Art is to Tell a StoryArt, in itself, is to imitate life. However, art photography is to see beyond life.
Art is something we do - a verb, our expression of thought, sharing the way we experience the world, which for many is an extension of personality.
It is the communication of intimate concepts that cannot be faithfully portrayed by words alone - a means to state an opinion or feeling.
Art always involves the conscious use of creative imagination to express technical proficiency, beauty, emotional power or conceptual ideas.
Maternity
A Grand Adventure is About to BeginAt 36 weeks, your baby is curled up and cramped inside your uterus. They weigh about 2.5kg and measure about 34cm from head to bottom now. If your baby has engaged, you might notice your bump has moved down. In the last month of pregnancy, you might feel quite breathless as the baby presses against your diaphragm. Beginning week 38, your baby is ready to be born.
You should plan to do a maternity photoshoot during the weeks of 32-34 - make a booking to capture this wonderful story in good time.
Mother and Baby
Mother and baby photography can be a truly joyful experience.We help moms capture all the amazement and wonderfulness, and are here to accompany her through her journey. How? With the help of a camera and a delicate taste of mother and baby photography.
We welcome every future mom who decides to take this artistic journey with us. There is no need to feel anxious or nervous, we love to capture these feelings and moments, powerful and long-lasting memories

To see yourself
the way your partner does,
can change your world!
It’s one thing to take a picture of what a person looks like,
If we make self-love or body acceptance conditional, the truth is, we will never be happy with ourselves.
The reality is that our bodies are constantly changing, and they will never remain exactly the same. If we base our self-worth on something as ever-changing as our bodies, we will forever be on the emotional roller coaster of body obsession and shame.
ASNA Photography™ provides a safe journey for self discovery, positive self affirmation, and space to embrace a new-found confidence, helping you step into your value and stand in your power through intimate and powerful portraiture.
IT’S ANOTHER THING TO CREATE A PORTRAIT OF WHO THEY ARE.
If you are into:
- Self-Love
- Growing in Confidence
- Rediscovering Lost Parts of Yourself
- Remembering Your Worth
- Celebrating Your Inner Beauty
- Empowering Yourself
- Overcoming Self Acceptance Fears
- Reconnecting with Your Partner
- Special Gifts for Your Partner
We can compliment every step you take!
We believe we can add more value than just beautiful images.
We never try to change who you are - we add to your 'beingness' and the beautiful soul.
