About Me

my story

I started Bianca Smit Photography in 2013, only as a part time job, but got word from God, resigned my job, and I’ve been living my dream being a full time photographer ever since. I’ve always had a great passion for photography. It’s important for me to capture these timeless moments, that does not just capture the moment but also has a creative artistic way of displaying them.

I would describe my style as vibrant, colourful, timeless & heartfelt.

My greatest passion is working with children and people, getting to know them of them in a session. I have a home studio situated in Brackenfell, focusing on portrait, couple, maternity, newborn, cake smashes, sitter & fruit/milk/bubble bath sessions. I have a great passion for family photography! Bigger families are shot on location while smaller family session have the option of studio too.

Some details about me:

  • I am a proudly South African – Afrikaanse meisie.
  • I got married on 17 October 2015 to Pierre, my best friend. On 7 June 2021 we welcomed our first child into this world, Milanka and on 6 June 2023 her brother, Zion, joined earth side!
  • Christ is the centre stone of my business and life, and I’ve been blessed incredibly throughout my life thanks to His grace and favour over my life.
  • In April 2025 I opened my new home-based studio, after renovating our garage into my dream studio. It was a dream for 7 years, and after 7 long years, God was gracious and put it all together for His Glory.
  • I’ve been pescatarian since 1 January 2019 (just a fancy way of saying I only eat seafood and no other meat)
  • I love animals, and currently have 2 furry friends aka dogs
  • I enjoy fine dining, trying new flavours and foods
  • I have 1 sibling, a brother, who is a musician under the name Jon Lantic and also the godparent to my children
  • My mother has a big love for painting, and that is where my love for art and painting stems from
  • My father is retired but still a commercial fisherman with the focus more on crayfish and living in beautiful Pringle Bay.
  • In February 2024 I decided to make a lifestyle change, and went on a weight loss/exercise journey, where I lost 40kg. My husband went on the same journey just before me, and it’s been life changing for us both.
  • On 21 April 2025, Pierre shaved my hair off in my studio! I’ve had this on my bucket list since school, and it’s been one of the greatest experiences, and even more of a blessing sharing this with my husband.

Thank you for stopping by!

my wedding

One thing I’ve learned, is that sometimes it’s wonderful to be able to follow another person’s story and journey through images, and so I thought I’d share some photos from my and Pierre’s wedding day, our styled shoot afterwards (we wanted a fun/different location than the wedding venue), and a couple shoot a couple of months afterwards. Just a little background: Pierre and I met on 14th of February 2015. All unplanned. Promise! Our first date was the next day, we started dating on the 5th of March, fell madly in love and got engaged 17th of April 2015. If you had asked me in January 2015 what I would have thought of something like this & knowing someone for such a short while, I would have thought you were completely crazy, but now I’ll tell you that some days can be tough, but they’ve been so worth it. We got married on the 17th of October 2015. We had a small wedding with 31 guests, consisting of our closest friends & immediate family. It was a beautiful day, tying the knot with my best friend. My gift from God.
