About Me
I’m Shelley a newborn and family photographer.
My journey started at university with a degree in fashion design, which gave me a strong eye for detail, composition, and styling. Over time, I did a lot of photoshoots as a client for my own clothing business, and it sparked my passion for photography.
I later completed a postgraduate diploma in photography to develop this interest further.
​
When I became a mum, I fell in love with capturing my own children in photographs.
I wanted to freeze those perfect little moments because time seemed to be rushing by, and they were growing so fast.
​
That experience made me want to offer other families the same opportunity, to capture the real feelings, connections, and love in their family in a relaxed, warm, and supportive environment. I also encourage parents, especially mums, to step in front of the camera. I know how it feels to love being behind the lens but rarely appear in photos yourself. I want you to feel good, feel valued, and look back on beautiful images of your family, including you. 
​
My goal is to use everything I’ve learned from fashion, styling, and photography training to my own parenthood experiences, to give you a session that’s memorable, fun, and full of genuine connection.
Why hire me as your family photographer?
As a mum of two lively little boys, I know that kids aren’t always perfect, the moments you want them to be on their best behaviour are the exact moments they want to do anything but!
I’m patient and experienced and will work with your little ones to bring out the best in them and capture their true personalities.
I want to see them as you see them, so you smile every time you look at the photograph of their cheeky little smile or the glint in their eye you know so well.
