Welcome to

SHANNON RICHMOND PHOTOGRAPHY

I get it.

Picking a photographer can be hard, the last thing you want is to go through all the effort and come out with boring photos that don’t show your families true personalities and connections.

My vibe is fun but focused (no pun intended). I’m super real, as making a real connection allows you to let loose and be your true selves together. No stress, no worry!!

I believe in capturing authentic, love filled photos and making you look damn good in the process.

I’ve been photographing love, joy and yes; the occasional bout of tears for over 18 years!

Having this much experience allows me to stay calm under pressure and know just what to do in any situation. You can relax knowing I’m focused on creating a stress-free and fun vibe. When the atmosphere is like this, the magic can flow and we can have a super enjoyable experience working together.

I see every session as a chance to share an epic adventure with lots of laughs along the way!!

Locations

I’ve photographed people in just about everywhere in our beautiful Newcastle and Hunter region. I know the best spots for family sessions, maternity and anything else you can think of. I love our hometown and would love a chance to show you around and find a special place for your photos. Some of my favourite locations include Morpeth Park with its gorgeous green grounds and big old fig trees and Paterson Park with a very forest and European feel.

To say I was excited for this session was an understatement. My face was sore from smiling by the end. What a beautiful morning spent with these two gorgeous baby girls at 5 weeks old. 💕
Welcoming twins into the family is such a special journey, and it was an absolute privilege to capture these precious early days for them. From tiny rolls and sleepy cuddles to the sweetest little stretches, there was so much love filling this home.
Its all about documenting those real connections and beautiful moments that make this season so unforgettable. The days may feel long right now, but these tiny details change so quickly.
