Hello, I'm charne
the one behind capturing your everlasting moments
I’m Charne, a 26-year-old photographer, wife, and mom to two beautiful children. Photography has been part of my journey since 2019, growing from a passion into a heartfelt way of preserving the moments that matter most.
Originally from Patoria, I now call Knysna home where the ocean meets quiet moments, golden light, and endless inspiration. The sea has my heart, and so does family. I’m deeply drawn to genuine connection, soft in-between moments, and the kind of love that’s felt rather than posed.
My approach to photography is gentle, patient, and intentional. I believe the most meaningful images come from real emotion the laughter, the closeness, the fleeting moments you may not even notice at the time. Whether I’m capturing a wedding day or a simple family session, my goal is always the same to create timeless images that tell your story with honesty and heart.
Above all, I value connection with people, with moments, and with the stories we carry. It’s a privilege to be invited into such meaningful seasons of life, and I approach every session with care, gratitude, and love for what I do.
Kind words from

Charne was our photographer for our daughter's 2023 Matric Farewell and her work was above our expectation. She is extremely professional and takes so much pride in her work to deliver photographs that exceeds excellence.
She knows exactly how to calm her model to deliver the most beautiful moments captured on film.
She delivers the most beautiful photos with excellent editing.
We highly recommend CD Photography.
