  • "We loved our maternity shoot with Dee! She made us feel so comfortable and she had a lot of great ideas. Her enthusiasm is intoxicating! It was great to take a moment and just appreciate the amazing journey to parenthood that we are on. Her packages are also really well priced and we got some preview photos and the final photos really quickly as well. Will definitely recommend her and use again in the future."

  • "I recently had the pleasure of working with Deana, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience and results. From the very beginning, she was professional, warm, communicative, and incredibly talented. We have a variety of shoots with her, and she made each day comfortable and fun, capturing natural moments with an artistic eye that truly stands out. The final photos were stunning—beautifully composed, thoughtfully edited, and delivered on time. Whether you're looking for portraits, event coverage, or something more creative, I highly recommend Deana. Her passion for photography shines through every shot. I’ll definitely be working with her again!"

    Rivaania Moodley

  • "The most incredible photographer!! We absolutely love Moondrop photography. She has done our maternity shoot, baby shower, newborn shoot and Christmas family photos. I won’t use anyone else. She has also made us the most beautiful photo books of all our shoots to share with family and friends. She makes you feel so comfortable and makes sure you get your photos as soon as possible after she has worked her magic!! Couldn’t recommend her enough."
