Hey! I’m Shannon
living it up with my little family, in the Illawarra, NSW Australia. I am a Family and Wedding Photographer who is obsessed with the fun, funky, candid and real moments of any celebration or family.
You can count on me to capture and document the moments, in its realest and most candid form, while also adding fun and playful goodness to any portrait or creative section of a shoot!
thank golly gosh your here!
Here is a little more about me that you may want to know:
So i bring to you a fun and loving energy, and a knack for capturing personalities of Children, creating a fun and easy going atmosphere.
I love to capture the quirky, fun and meaningful moments which happen when you feel at ease and comfortable. So, it is really important to me that each and every person i meet feels like i am just an old friend with a camera hanging out with you, telling your story.
I am a Mum of two awesome little children ( a daughter (5yo) and Son (2.5yo) and a wife to Chad the Dad (who also assists me behind the scenes and sometimes at weddings! - I also have two dogs, Happy and Daisy. Motherhood is my world and while my kids are young i have built this little dream around them as i am so passionate about showing them what it is like to have a Mum who is smashing goals and following her dream so hopefully they do may do the same when they grow up.
Because family really is my world i understand the importance of capturing the moments with your loved ones, and because of my background in working in Disabilities too for 10 years i have a lot of patience, understanding and empathy when it comes to working with people. I am also a creative who thrives off celebrating uniqueness, quirkiness and the bad-ass and untraditional.
I welcome families and couples with awesome ideas and thrive when i get to help create something beautiful, fun and funky!
Candid, real, emotions with people is my forte, and I enjoy simply documenting life as it happens, I also do have skillset to pose and direct people to get the best out of a shot, I look after those with insecurities about silly things (that we should learn to love and embrace) like, double chins and wobbly arms. I do always aim to capture you as authentically you, while also considering your best angles.
I will Add, just so you know what im into im a pretty big geek and i get so excited about anything and all Pop culture, I also can’t live without Music. I consider myself an elder emo because back in the day, i wore nothing but Black and was at every metal and hardcore gig that was on, nowadays i just jam out to my metal in my car wearing my rainbow outfits. I love being spiritual and grounding and over the past year have really learned how to slow down, and connect with people and earth. I incorporate breathing and positive manifestations into my sessions now too. While i love everything that is fun, colourful and a little quirky i also love to stay home, garden, watch sunsets and watch and admire the beautiful slow and sweet moments of life and human connection.
So i hope this has given you a big insight into who i am and what i do, If you would like to have a session with me, or book me for your wedding. I would be so very excited to hear from you.
Have a beautiful day :)

This is my Husband Chad and I. We are pretty inseparable. Best friends, and been married for a long time now, so we know a little bit about love :) We make a great team covering Weddings.
A little about Chad, He is a kind and gentle soul, an amazing Father and just an all round easy person to get along with. He is the fella that keeps me level headed and calm, and an Engineer, in a Managers role, he is professional and logical and knows how to keep everything running smooth. Hes also super comforting to have around, as he will go out of his way to make things better or easier for someone, and always offers a compliment or a shoulder to lean on if needed.
Us together at a wedding, is a fine duo, with my creative and outgoing flare, and his gentle, caring and logical nature we really do radiate happiness and love.
And this is my crazy, wonderful Family. This little family is who you support when you pay for my services. Helping us to buy groceries and pay for swimming lessons. I am so proud to show my kids a Mum who is following her dreams, and I am so lucky to have such a supportive little unit.
I have experienced a lot of loss in my life, Most of my family including my Mum, Dad, Father in law, Nan and Poppy have passed away. Because of my losses, I feel great amounts of love and gratitude for everyday, so capturing your special moments with loved ones is of utmost importance to me, I promise you that.
