About me
HEY I’M SHANNON
I’m fun & a bit cheeky but hey that’s what kids need right? My husband Aaron and I have a five year old son Bjorn and our girl Vea is nearly two! (Still figuring life out with two! haha) Our fur baby Pepper (German Shepherd) and Charles (British Blue cat) are a big part of our family so I started off taking photos of them with Bjorn. Then I realised hey If I want photos of this surely others do too. No one wants a boring photo. 95% of my images are when you aren’t looking at the camera and are showing pure joy in this moment.
If you are looking for something unique and fresh, you’ve come to the right place. I adore sunsets and the laughter of loud families – so I have made that my art & passion.
I’m a Mother, Wife, Traveler, Online shopper, coffee & champagne drinker (depending on the time of day haha) I’ve been a photographer for over 10 years. It started with Weddings and has morphed into ‘people & good times in their lives.’
…
Your personal hype girl.

While pregnant with Charlie I booked a shoot with Shannon and am so thankful I did. I was wanting some maternity photos taken that would capture my bump but also ones that would be a keepsake and snapshot in time for years to come. At 38 weeks pregnant, we met Shannon at Raglan with our Golden Retriever, Ryder. As the sun was beginning to set we walked along the beach chatting away to Shannon while she worked her magic behind the camera. Posing for photos was not our thing but she made us feel relaxed, or as relaxed as we could be while being the centre of attention. Once we received the gallery of photos we were absolutely blown away! They were so much more than I expected them to be. There were so many beautiful shots that it made deciding which ones to frame and put on the wall so hard to choose. We can not thank her enough for documenting such a special time in our lives through precious photos that we will truly cherish for ever.

Shannon you are amazing!! She just fit right into capturing such a roller coaster of emotions and the safe arrival of our baby girl. From her discrete placement of “items” to capture these special moments whilst keeping privacy in mind was a pleasant surprise and left us with images that we are more than happy to show our friends and family. We often thought with birth photography there possibly may be images that we would not feel comfortable showing others, but this was not the case at all. After first meeting with us a few weeks prior she understood our needs and due to her crafty eye and shots taken from different angles she was able to achieve so much more than we were expecting. This moment meant so much and we will cherish these images for a lifetime. I would most definitely have her as our birth photographer again! Thanks Shannon you are Awesome!

We could not have chosen a better photographer for our first family photos! Shannon was absolutely AMAZING and made all of us {including the dog} feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. Our photos are stunning and will be cherished forever!
