Emma O’Brien is a photographer mom who has climbed Kilimanjaro to raise money for the SPCA (for whom she’s the official photographer), gone into delivery rooms to take the most magnificent birth photos, and literally juggled twins and equipment during shoots.

She also has the most amazing energy and humour (always necessary when shooting and coordinating babies, families and dogs), and she’s just introduced cake smash photography to her repertoire.

Joburg-based Emma takes pics of cake smashes for first and second birthday celebrations, and until the end of July, she’s offering a special rate of R1 500 (it’s usually R2 250), which includes the shoot, an A5 brag book with 20 photos, and the selected digital files.

You can call Emma on 076 564 4365, or you can find her on Facebook.
