A short background
I GREW UP ON A DIET OF ADVENTURE BOOKS, CAMPING TRIPS AND CLIMBING TREES. I BELIEVE IT’S ONLY BY EXPERIENCING WILDERNESS AREAS, DEVOID OF MAN-MADE DISTRACTIONS, DO WE TRULY UNDERSTAND THEIR IMPORTANCE IN OUR LIVES AND FUTURES. THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF MY WORK IS TO ENCOURAGE TRAVELLERS TO EXPERIENCE THESE INCREDIBLE PLACES FOR THEMSELVES.
After completing a BCOM in Marketing and working at A commercial photographic companY, I moved to Cape Town to work as the lead photographer for Getaway magazine, South Africa’s oldest travel magazine. There, I learnt the ropes of what it takes to be a full-time travel photojournalist with the support of a stellar editorial team of writers-turned-friends.
From 2018 I moved into the freelance world – and haven’t looked back. I’m now based between Seattle, Cape Town and THE balmy, relaxed coastline of kenya.
PHOTOGRAPHic STYLE
– Elegant, approachable, clean and filled with natural light
– Mix of semi-styled and candid scenes.
I put my all into creating content that rests somewhere between authentic, soulful and ever-improving. Shoots are tailored per client to best assist storytelling and marketing efforts.

Here's what some of them have to say.
Ant Baber, The Ant Collection
I know I have thanked you before, but Tea you have created something amazing for Ants, and I’m so grateful to you for your amazing eye and brilliant skill. I so enjoyed having you up here and showing you our patch of the bushveld!
The Craigs, Lewa Wilderness
We absolutely loved working with Teagan! She captured the heart and soul of Lewa Wilderness so perfectly, with her photos now transforming our website. She was an absolute delight to work with, just felt like part of the family.
Caroline, Wilderness Safaris
So glad that you actually made it and had the time to create these lovely images for WS. Love how beautifully polished they are – THANK YOU!
Kia, Klein Nektar
Teagan is an amazing photographer as somehow she manages to convey the true feeling of a place in an enhanced way. Many of our guests have commented on her beautiful photographs.
