WELCOME! I'M ANKEBI
Hi! I'm Ankebi.
I was born and raised in South Africa and lived my teenage years in Australia but often wonder if I was born on the wrong side of the world. I have always had such an intense connection to the mountains and pine trees. I always said I was homesick to a place I've never even been to, but in 2024 I got to visit Canada for the first time and it has captured my heart. We felt at home. So my husband and I along with our two little boys have made the big decision to move our family over to Alberta, Canada in 2025 and I can't wait to see where this will take my career as a photographer!

THE (HEART) BEHIND THE CAMERA
let's capture a FEELING
My approach goes beyond just photos, it's about capturing the emotion. Blending lifestyle, storytelling and cinematic styles, I aim to preserve not only the events of your day, but the heart and atmosphere of your day. Every photo is a memory, bringing you back to the laughter, the tears, the fun. Together, let's create a visual narrative that doesn't just show how your day looked, but how it FELT.

emotion
As a photographer, I believe emotion is the heartbeat of every photo, it's what transforms a photo into a story you can FEEL. My focus is on capturing the raw, unscripted moments that hold meaning, because those are the ones that last forever.

mood
For me, mood is everything, it sets the tone and draws you into the story unfolding within each photo. I use light, composition and connection to create photos that don't just show a moment, but make you feel it.

storytelling
Storytelling is at the core of my work as a photographer. I aim to capture moments that speak to who you are and the journey you're on. Every photo I create is a piece of a larger narrative, preserving the emotions, connections and details that make your story uniquely yours.

creativity
Creativity is the lens through which I see every moment, allowing me to turn the ordinary into something extraordinary. I'm always exploring new perspectives and techniques to craft images that feel as unique and authentic as the people in them.

connection
Connection is the heart of everything I do, I take the time to truly understand you, your story, and what matters most. By building trust and creating a comfortable space, I'm able to capture genuine moments that reflect who you really are.
