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.

Kind Words

Follow me on Instagram

We’re so lucky to have so many beautiful locations right on our doorstep. Tell me a little about your family’s vibe, and we’ll tailor your session and location to suit you perfectly.
I also love discovering new hidden gems, so if you know of a great location, please share it in the comments!

BUMP & BUB 🤍
From growing you… to holding you.

There are two seasons that pass in the blink of an eye — the quiet anticipation of pregnancy and the soft, hazy newborn days. My Bump & Bub Sessions are designed to beautifully document both.

This isn’t just a photo shoot. It’s a personalised, high-touch experience that carries you from pregnancy through to those early days with your baby — seamlessly and effortlessly.

The Experience

✨ Personalised Styling (Complimentary)
Full access to my curated client wardrobe for both maternity and newborn sessions — flowing, neutral, timeless pieces for mums, plus beautiful wraps and textures for baby. I personally guide you through styling so everything feels cohesive and elevated.

✨ In-Home Luxury Service
Your newborn session takes place in the comfort of your home. Calm. Familiar. No rushing out the door. Your maternity session can be in-home or at a carefully selected outdoor location with soft, flattering light.

✨ Baby-Led, Relaxed Approach
We move at your pace — during pregnancy and after baby arrives. Feeding breaks, toddler cuddles, resets — completely normal.

✨ Timeless, Professionally Edited Imagery
Every image is hand-edited with a soft, natural finish designed to stand the test of time. These aren’t trend-based edits — they’re heirloom images.

What’s Included
1 x Maternity Session (60 minutes)
1 x Newborn Session (Approx 2 hours, in-home)
Complimentary wardrobe styling for both sessions
Professionally edited online galleries
High-resolution images for print + web
Limited Offer 🤍

To celebrate this beautiful chapter:

$250 OFF the Bump & Bub Package
(for bookings secured within 30 days - Expires 15th June)

Bundling both sessions not only saves you money — it ensures consistency in styling, editing and storytelling from bump to baby.

Still time to book your family session and make the most of autumn 🍂
Hands down, my favourite time of year for photos. Soft light, no mozzies or flies, no melting makeup or frizzy Friday hair from the humidity… and of course, the beautiful colours that only this season can offer.
