“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still” – Dorothea Lange
Meet Sanette, your photographer.
Photography has always been a hidden passion of mine. I never knew how much until I got my first DSLR camera as a birthday gift from my hubby. A month later my eldest daughter had her matric dance and I hired a professional photographer to capture those special memories – and YES of course I had my camera in hand too. I snapped away as if there was no tomorrow, trying to capture a few good shots behind the scenes. The bug bit me big time! I did every course I could lay my hands on. The rest is history.
Here are a few quick, random and totally true facts about me!
v My husband and I got engaged after seeing each other for only 18 days, which was spread over a period of 4 months – I lived in Pretoria and he in Durban at the time. Love at first sight! (It really does happen!!).
v A childhood dream of mine was to become a ballerina – well, I still dance in my head when I hear beautiful music.
v I was a professional Flamenco dancer in my younger days – Olé!
v At one stage in my life I was thinking of becoming a doctor – but the sight of blood doesn’t agree with me (Eek!).
v Before Photo Nette blossomed, I was a computer geek!! YES! Systems Analyst and SQL developer. At the end of 2007 I opted to leave the corporate world in order to spend more time with my girls at home. My “baby” is now in her final year of high school!
v Roast chicken, pumpkin, green beans (the way my mom makes it!) and roast potatoes is my favourite dish to eat!
v Baked cheesecake – Oh yes please and thank you!
v My business name is derived from my own name and means “Clear picture” in French (hubby was the clever one here 😉)..
