Hi, I’m Janine — a maternity, newborn, family and portrait photographer based in Cowies Hill, Pinetown.
I specialise in creating elegant, timeless portraits in a relaxed, welcoming environment — from glowing maternity sessions to tiny newborn details and meaningful family milestones. With over 10 years of experience, I’m known for my gentle approach, patience with little ones, and consistently beautiful results. Every session is designed to feel easy, enjoyable, and meaningful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”Undeniably the best photographer, she’s done my maternity shoots, baby milestone and birthdays and I’ve never looked back. She’s professional, efficient and patient while ensuring you receive the best possible experience and outcome which is the quality of her work, driven by her passion, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER” – Nolitha M
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”Janine is absolutely amazing. The experience was so inviting and enjoyable. We did the petite family shoot with a 1year old. Being super nervous that baby would throw a fit, she was so fun that baby was laughing and playing.
The photos came out so beautiful.
I highly recommend Janine Z Photography and will be sharing more precious memories with her.” – Chandra K
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Janine has a real gift for photography. We’ve done 4 shoots with her, a maternity and newborn for each of our kids. Her photos are absolutely stunning, and most importantly, she made us feel comfortable. She has a way with the newborns as well, a unique ability to calm them. We wouldn’t use any other photographer for these types of shoots!” – Shanelle P
I would love to hear more about you, help you plan a session that feels effortless and meaningful.
