What families actually say.
From the memorable experience in the studio to the most gorgeous photos you could ever expect, there is just no one like Cecilia! I truly believe she is the best out there. She has such a passion for newborn photography, every photo is taken with love. Thank you for the most stunning memories of all three of our babies Cecilia.
This is the baby whisperer. She is absolutely the best when it comes to newborn photography. Take it from another professional photographer.
A true professional! She went out of her way to accommodate us (even though my little one cried throughout the whole session) and displayed the patience of a saint. Her setups and props are really stunning and her photos are just too gorgeous. Really wonderful experience.
An absolute experience! My wife and I took our daughter on 11 days old to Cecilia to be photographed. She made all of us so comfortable from the very beginning. We walked into such a calm environment and everything in the room revolved around us. She worked so gently with our baby and made us feel right at home. We would definitely recommend her to anyone and we’d definitely love to go back again.
We had such an amazing time today with Cecilia. Her love, passion, calmness, professionalism and most of all her kind words are so inspiring. We highly recommend her. Her photographs tell a story which we will treasure forever.
Wow, what a talented and caring person you are Cecilia. We loved watching you work with such love and attention to detail. We are grateful for a relaxing time while you captured the special moments with our new little bundle of joy. We would recommend you a million times over.
It's never just one session.
The calm room
A quiet studio where the session runs at the baby's pace, for as long as it takes.
The setups and the props
Fifteen years of collected wraps and florals, styled fresh for every baby.
Back for the next baby
The same families return for the sitter session, and the next newborn.
A quiet studio in Pretoria, since 2011.
Cecilia Bouwer photographs the very start of a family, newborns in the first two weeks and the milestones that follow, plus maternity by arrangement. Sessions are unhurried and led by the baby, in a warm studio near Centurion or in your own home.
Families across Pretoria, Centurion, Fourways and Sandton don't book Cecilia once. They book her for the next baby, and the one after that.
"A true professional, and the patience of a saint."
