When I'm able to play a part in making one of my client's dream photoshoots come true, and support a good cause at the same time...

It truly makes me so grateful to be doing what I'm doing with my life. Sure it's not all rosey... life rarely is. But then when an experience comes along like this, it's pure magic.

You may or may not know that I'm vegan for the animal welfare reasons so I did need to learn more about the Cheetah Outreach centre before committing to the process. On their website the first thing they share is...
Our primary goal is to promote the survival of the free ranging, South African, cheetah

And just so you know... not anyone can just walk in and do a photoshoot with these beautiful creatures. Their handlers take great strides in ensuring their wellbeing, and we were made aware that if the cats did not want to participate, they would not be forced to. We were under the instruction of the handlers at all times, and it was very clear to see that they've forged very deep, caring relationships with these animals, and their wellbeing is the number one priority of the team. I'll also mention that a hefty fee is associated with getting permission to do the photoshoot with the cats which goes towards their programme upkeep. In total, we were only photographing with the cheetahs for about 25 minutes.

In summary, in an ideal world, no human would get the chance to be this close to a cheetah and smile for the camera. But unfortunately, that's not the world we live in. So the next best thing is to create awareness, educate and make damn sure that those cheetahs who are left are protected and kept out of harm's way at the hands of uneducated, uncaring humans.

If programmes like this make that possible, then let's support them. And if, by supporting them, I get to make one woman's dream come true of photographing her alongside the creatures she cares so deeply for, then I'm all for that. 

This is TRULY a photo shoot I will not forget!
