"I aim to capture, create and celebrate beauty inspired by day to day life."
Originally from the beautiful Cape Winelands in South Africa and after being part of the rich and beautiful hot pot of Dubai my family and I relocated to Atlanta, Georgia. We are finding ourselves still daily awestruck by the wonderful nature and scenery our new town of Alpharetta has too offer. It was our families move to the UAE that gave me the opportunity to design a whole new career for myself. And the obvious choice, without a doubt, was Photography.
Photography for me is not only a skill but one of the most diverse forms of artistry. People, spaces and fine art, being my preferred genres. With portraits I am always fascinated by how the individuality of each person contributes to the end-result and how with nature, space, form and color you can evoke such emotion in the viewer. I believe that the images created is the combined creative result of the subject and the photographer.
I love that what I do gives me the opportunity to meet wonderful people and experience all that gives color to our lives.
I look forward to meet you.
P.S I love books, experiencing new places and spending time with family and friends.
A photoshoot with me blends both posed and candid moments, creating an enjoyable experience that fosters genuine connections. I use a suite of creative tools to capture real emotions, natural expressions, and meaningful interactions. My aim is to help people feel comfortable and express their true selves in front of the camera, resulting in stunning, authentic images.
My goal is to make every session a fun and memorable experience, where even the most reluctant participants end up enjoying the process. These sessions are cherished by everyone involved, and I take great pride in capturing the true essence of each moment—often exceeding expectations.

"" Thank you Louise for documenting this special time of our lives. Not only are you a very talented photographer, you know how to get the emotions out of your subjects and make them shine in the most beautiful way. Our maternity shoot was such a fun and playful experience, especially with a husband who is not fond of the camera. We highly recommend Louise van Aarde Photography." Ané"

""A very big thank you to Louise van Aarde Photography for capturing unforgettable memories of our family. We did a beautiful family maternity shoot as well as a new baby family style and studio shoot with her and cannot recommend her enough. Her style and eye for capturing just the right moments are amazing. She’s super fun, creative and patient, making sure everyone is comfortable and happy. Will definitely be using her for all our photo shoots in the future. Thanks Louise!"
