Hello, I'm Zuleika
versatile photographer
Hi, I’m Zuleika—photographer, educator, and storyteller with a heart rooted in faith.
Light & Mustard Seed Photography was born from two of the things I cherish most: the quiet strength of faith and the beauty of everyday moments. Inspired by Matthew 17:20, I believe even the smallest seed of purpose can grow into something extraordinary. My goal is to capture that growth, that light, and that story—through every photo I take.
Whether I’m photographing a joyful family, a quiet baptism, or a heartfelt branding session, I approach each frame as a sacred opportunity to document grace, truth, and connection. Through warm tones, thoughtful composition, and prayerful presence, I create more than just images—I preserve testimony.
Let’s tell your story—faithfully and beautifully.
My approach
At Light & Mustard Seed Photography, my approach is rooted in intentionality and openness. Whether I’m capturing a quiet baptism, a vibrant family gathering, a personal branding shoot, or an imaginative creative project, I don’t believe in limiting myself to one style. I embrace moments as they come—sometimes posed, sometimes spontaneous—always with a heart tuned to story and purpose. I work with natural light, real emotion, and a steady focus on what makes each moment meaningful. Guided by faith and inspired by growth, I aim to create a space where clients feel seen, celebrated, and at ease—because every story, no matter how small, deserves to be told with care.
Kind words from
Yolande COETZEE
It is with great admiration and sincere appreciation that I write this testimonial for Zuleika, a remarkable young woman whose strength, resilience, and warmth leave a lasting impression on everyone she meets.
At just 25 years old, she has already faced more than most do in a lifetime. Yet, she has not allowed her difficult past to define her — instead, she has risen above it with quiet determination and a heart full of hope. She approaches every challenge with grace and courage and excels in everything she puts her mind to.
What sets her apart is not only her strong work ethic and sense of responsibility, but also the light she brings to those around her. She is friendly, sincere, and radiates a heartwarming kindness. Her love for life is contagious, and her deep affection for animals speaks to her gentle, compassionate soul.
Zuleika is the kind of person who makes the world around her a better place. Any opportunity given to her will be embraced with dedication, enthusiasm, and care. It has been an honour to witness her growth, and I have no doubt that her future is as bright as her spirit.
Let’s work together
