OUR STORY
THE STORY OF SHOOT MY HOUSE
JEANNE
An actress by profession – I have worked in many areas of film making. Assisting a casting agent led on to cast coordinating on Johannesburg TV Shoots between acting gigs and when I went to the UK landed me working for a major production company in Carnaby Street, London for several years. Back in SA I got stuck into Film and TVC production in Cape Town but the lure of locations was always there for me and starting Shoot my House a great way to act again and have my own business where I get to bring everything I have learned together . I love seeing how people live – and the spaces they inhabit – how they inform it and how it informs them. I love the relationships that are forged with location owner and our clients alike. What we do is all about relationships – as is everything!
I’m obsessed with Nature, Architecture, product design, interior design, storytelling, my daughter, movie making, beauty and magic.
On any given weekend you will find me in the sea, on my kayak or walking on one of the many magnificent mountains we are so blessed to live amongst.

My world revolves around love, laughter, and cherishing the simple pleasures of life and an unwavering devotion to my family and friends. The saying goes, home is where the heart is, this is why property is my passion. When I am not busy taking over the world, you’ll find me strolling along the sandy shores, channeling my inner philosopher as I ponder life’s most profound questions, like, “Why do seagulls always act like they haven’t had a decent meal in years?”
