This is me

Hey there!


You´re wondering who I am?
Let me tell you a little bit about myself, my passion and this blog!

My name is Christiane Cloete (spoken as "Klute").

I started learning about photography when I was in South Africa with my husband and kids December 2011 and January 2012.
He had been into photography for years already and I was curious to learn something new and maybe discover a hobby.
He taught me everything he knew and I/we dreamed about how cool it would be to have our very own photography business.

I soon after that founded Ayoba Photography and now one and a half years later I am amazed about what God has done so far!


I am crazy about different things: Amazing people, laughing and joking, hot chocolate or just chocolate in general, Jesus, beautifully crafted little things, my husband and kids, an early sunrise on a foggy day, Photography, decorating and re-decorating, food, ....
(The order is just random, so don´t read too much into it! ;D

My vision for Ayoba Photography is to make people excited about themselves, their families and others in my pictures. That is also why I chose the name "Ayoba" for my business.
Ayoba is a South African word which means "Exitement".
Since many people don´t consider themselves as beautiful or even stunning I would like to help them see themselves through God´s eyes: As the gorgeous and beautiful people that God made, in his likeness.



So this is my blog. I will be posting bits and pieces about my daily life and of course, my photography!

I hope you enjoy!

Love, Chrissy
