Captured Photography

Sonja Walker was first bitten by the photography bug when she was about ten years old and she had the opportunity to use somebody's camera on a school outing. Photography soon became a form of escapism from a rather tough childhood and Sonja soon became known as the girl with the camera. Sonja found the whole concept of capturing moments, especially those moments that involved family, intriguing because other than one faded photo she had of herself as a baby, there was none of her childhood.

Today, Sonja lists one of the happiest days of her life as being the day she purchased her first camera, a second-hand Canon 550D. After that, there was no stopping her and she still marvels at the fact that she has been blessed to be involved in an industry that has become her passion.

Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, so it's up to you to document your today. Sonja Walker will customize a unique package to suit your individual needs. Captured Photography offers value-added services such as advice on beauty stylists and function venues. Sonja is available to help you with anything you may need (photography or not) to ensure your photo-shoot is a happy and memorable experience. Photography shoots include but are not limited to:

• Family
• Engagement
• Wedding
• Maternity
• Birthing
• Fresh 48

Photographer, Sonja Walker, is very sensitive to the needs of pregnant women. Being a mom of three lively kiddiewinkles, Sonja understands first-hand that pregnant women and moms need breaks and she never rushes the session. Sonja only books one client for the day and the one-on-one attention soothes her lovely models and brings out the best in them. The feeling of not being rushed radiates from all of Sonja’s photos. Whether you chose to have specific moments of your pregnancy and birth captured or you decide on a full package that includes the whole wonderful journey of pregnancy, birth and motherhood, First Breath Captured Photography will be by your side every step of the way.

First Breath Captured Photography is proud to be the only registered birth photographer in the Overberg. Sonja is registered with the International Association of Professional birth photographers, Winelands Birth Photography and the Birth Association. Working closely with your birthing doctor or midwife, Sonja will be unobtrusive in the hospital room or home birthing area as she captures your precious babies arrival in a tasteful and stylish way.

Fresh 48 is a photoshoot that is held within the first 24-48 hours of your baby’s birth and is for those new parents who would like the first few hours of their newborn’s life captured without having the entire labor or birth documented. These lifestyle sessions are perfect for remembering that first day forever. The shoot is unposed and without props and Sonja will capture your baby’s sweet new moments in a fresh natural way!
