Testimonials
- I was looking for a photographer to take some promotional photos of me for music project and Esti more than delivered. She understood exactly what I wanted and how to achieve it, not to mention her professionalism and enthusiasm. I received on lot of praise on the high quality of the pictures, from the music industry and fans alike. I wholeheartedly recommend Esti for your photographic needs.Love them, he is such a character and you captured him perfectly! Love them Thank you!!!! Love them so specialSo, the INCREDIBLY TALENTED @esti.nieu.photography guided me right out of my comfort zone (some of you know that I have an irrational anxiety towards being photographed) and took some incredible photos together recently. Besides her talent behind the lens, the thing that impressed me the most is how she exhibited a professional capability of guiding & directing me through each and every shot and made me feel completely comfortable & at ease. @esti.nieu.photography has a multitude of years’ experience and it really shows, and I’m glad to see her engaged in this sphere again. I totally encourage you to visit her page, check out her portfolio and get in touch for an awesome experience.The ability to photograph any Boston Terrier

Esti is not a photographer - she is a magician! I was blown away by the way she was able to connect with and capture the essence of my pensioner puppy
I would recommend getting a pet JUST to be able to book a session with Esti

I recently took my adorable dog, Lara for her very first photoshoot at Esti Nieu Photography. It was a fantastic experience neither one of us will soon forget! And of course now we have the stunning photos, just in case that ever happens.As soon as we arrived, Esti made us feel at home and my little Lara quickly felt at ease with her (the doggie treats helped of course).Esti's genuine love for dogs was evident, and my pup sensed it too. Within minutes, my fur baby relaxed, and the atmosphere became one of joy and excitement. Esti skillfully captured candid moments, playful antics, and soulful gazes.The photos were superb! Each image was a keepsake, a frozen moment of my beloved companion and her quirky personality.If you’re seeking pet photography that goes beyond the ordinary, look no further than Esti Nieu Photography. Her passion, professionalism, creativity, and ability to capture the essence of my Laratjie are unparalleled. My heart is full, and my walls adorned with memories that will last a lifetime.Thank you, @Esti Nieu Photography, for turning my doggo into art!

What a fun and great experience. I'm not someone who feels very comfortable when it comes to taking photos of me but Esti made me feel so comfortable. She is very professional and friendly. She guided me through the whole shoot, telling and explaining to me what to do (I'm clueless when it comes to poses). I would definitely recommend Esti. Her work is outstanding. Thank you Esti, I had so much fun with the photoshoot. See you again soon.
