HEY LEGENDS!
I’m Shannon,
Your go-to Family, Wedding & All-Occasion Photographer – and ultimate hype gal.
Based in Wollongong’s South Coast, Im a Mum of 3 & I’m all about capturing real, natural and fun moments for people. Family is everything to me, so i know it likely is for you too.
Whether it’s a whirlwind untraditional wedding, or a cozy cuddle, or perhaps a fleeting in-between moment that captures you or your loved ones spirit and true nature, I’m there – camera in hand, ready to tell your story.
No awkward poses here- unless you dig that haha – i preference fun, organic, and real styled shoots that represent you, with fun play based prompts to get you cool photos, and memories . I’ll laugh with you, adventure with you, and make you feel so at ease that by the time we’re done, you won’t just have photos—you’ll have an experience to remember.
Lets keepit REAL.
here’s the thing—I know how uncomfortable posing can feel, and trust me, it shows. That’s why my job isn’t just to take photos; it’s to make you feel amazing in front of the camera. Whether it’s a 30-minute mini-session or a 12-hour wedding, I’ll do whatever it takes to bring out your best, so by the end of it, I won’t just be your photographer—I’ll feel like a lifelong friend who’s been right there, capturing it all.
And for me, this isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about preserving moments, creating memories, and leaving behind a legacy. As someone who has lost loved ones, I know firsthand how powerful photos can be—not just for you to reminisce, but for the generations who come after you. Let’s make sure your story is told, beautifully and authentically.

“ Shannon is honestly, sunshine in human form and she was able to bring out mine and my daughters personalities in the photos because we felt so at ease with her and comfortable throughout the entire process. Since then I have booked a family session in with Shannon and an extended family session for my Mothers 60th Birthday. The photoshoots have always been so fun, light hearted and easy. The photos are also so beautiful and we simply would recommend her to anyone and be using her services again in future”.

Shannon is an amazing photographer who works miracles with young children to capture their personalities to create beautiful memories. She is fun, energetic and will do whatever is necessary to get everyone feeling comfortable, having fun and laughing. Her fun and easy going attitude made our photo session a breeze and the results are just beautiful. I cannot recommend Shannon enough”.

“Shannon is amazing. Apart from being a fantastic photographer she has the great knack of putting everyone at ease. She is great fun and even the most resistant and self conscious of our wedding guests relaxed! Her photos were absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend Shannon for weddings or any event. You will not be disappointed.

We can’t express how grateful we are to have found Shannon! She is incredible in all ways. Her passion for capturing emotions is uncanny- every photo radiates. We are blown away every time we look at our wedding photos. They’re beyond what we could have imagined. She made us feel so comfortable at all times, it was like having a friends around. Thank you so much Shannon!
