Ieva Gasiunaite is a lifestyle and documentary photographer based in Ballito on the KZN North Coast. She specialises in natural, emotive photography for families, children, couples, women and brands who want images that feel personal, warm and full of story.
I am based in Ballito and offer photography sessions across the North Coast, including Salt Rock, Sheffield Beach, Umhlanga, Durban and surrounding areas. I also travel for selected documentary, lifestyle and brand photography projects.
After many years of working in the corporate world, I decided to follow my dream of becoming a photographer. What I love most is capturing natural emotion — the small, honest moments that often become the most meaningful memories.
My style is relaxed, adventurous and story-driven. I enjoy doing things differently and creating photography sessions that feel personal to each client. No two people, families or stories are the same, and I believe every shoot should reflect that.
During a photoshoot, my goal is to help you feel comfortable and relaxed. I guide you through the process gently, allowing space for natural connection, movement and emotion. Whether we are photographing your family on the beach, your children at play, a couple’s session, or portraits that celebrate who you are, I want the final images to feel beautiful, honest and true to you.
If you are looking for a Ballito photographer who captures natural emotion and meaningful moments, I would love to hear from you.
