We are extremely proud to say that we took the corporate photos for CAF Southern Africa for their new website.

Their website just launched and you can see our photos at the following link http://www.cafsouthernafrica.org/index.php/template/2012-08-03-09-18-52

Here is some more information on this amazing organization.

Thank you team for utilising La Belle Vita Photography


History -

Charities Aid Foundation Southern Africa is an independent non-profit organisation that promotes and facilitates effective giving, volunteering and social investment. CAF Southern Africa has been represented in South Africa since 1997, and in 2000 became a registered Section 21 not-for-profit and public benefit organisation.

While being a wholly South African organisation we are also a member of the international Global Alliance of the Charities Aid Foundation, headquartered in the United Kingdom (CAF UK). 


Since 2010 CAF Southern Africa has been based at Arts on Main in the vibrant Maboneng Precinct, Johannesburg CBD. CAF Southern Africa has partnered with the Maboneng Precinct Management to facilitate community development and upliftment programmes for the communities of the surrounding areas including projects at the Mai Mai Crèche (care-givers for the children of the Mai Mai Market traders – Johannesburg’s oldest Traditional Market), the Curious Cave and the Little Roses Crèche.

Eugene Saldanha, Founder of CAF Southern Africa


Our founder was the late Eugene Saldanha. Eugene played a key role in strengthening the South African civil society sector: he believed in the critical role of the sector in building and maintaining constitutional democracy; he set up and led two important NGOs: the Non-Profit Partnership and then CAF Southern Africa in 1997. He was influential in advocating for parliamentary reforms in regard to the enabling environment for civil society organisations, and was a leader in lobbying government to fulfil its responsibility to the sector. In particular Eugene fought for civil society sustainability through reform of ineffective government institutions such as the Lotteries and National Development Agency (NDA).

In honour of our late founder CAF Southern Africa, together with a number of Eugene Saldanha’s friends, colleagues and family members established the Eugene Saldanha Memorial Fund in 2007. The purpose of the Fund is to recognise the leadership role played by Eugene in the sector by advancing the work and values which he prized.

Vivek, Sharen & Avantika Shoot

Today we had the privilege to capture the joy that a new addition to a family adds.

Avantika is five months old and already a natural in front of the camera (even though her parents had to literally dance, sing and recite nursery rhymes so she would look at the camera)

Thank you for using La Belle Vita Photography for those special moments you want to remember forever <3

Enjoy the preview!












Magandhree Naidoo Baby Shower

We recently captured a baby shower with a difference for Magandhree in Midrand.

We had a first hand look into the traditions and practices of the Indian culture and we were fascinated.

Here are some extra facts on this momentous occasion:

The Blessing Way

The Blessing Way is a way for a pregnant woman and her close friends to mark and celebrate her transition into motherhood. Unlike a Baby Shower, which is more baby and gift focused, the Blessing Way is a sacred gathering centered upon the pregnant woman, giving her focused nourishing attention and support. Blessing Ways often include a sharing circle where participants bring small gifts and heart-felt wishes for the mum-to-be, a creative activity and a nurturing activity. It is a space where the mum-to-be can share her hopes, fears and dreams and feel supported and activated to go on into her birthing time.

The Blessing Way ritual is inspired by American Indian traditions, in which family and tribe bless any significant endeavor. The participants at a Blessing Way would pray for the help of spiritual forces to safely guide the recipient on their path, and would offer their prayers and symbolic gifts of power and meaning. This ritual was a way to ceremonially mark significant transitions in life, in a spiritual and meaningful way.

Enjoy the preview!
