The girl who hated having her photo taken somehow ended up becoming a photographer... ironic, right?

I know what it feels like to stand in front of a camera and think, "What do I do with my hands?"
That's why I photograph the way I do!

Forget awkward poses and forced smiles. We'll chat, laugh, probably make a few terrible jokes and before you know it, you'll forget the camera is even there.

Whether it's your wedding day, your growing family, or a milestone worth celebrating, I want your photos to feel like YOU! I'll capture the big moments, but I'm always looking for the little ones too! The hand squeezes, the happy tears, the belly laughs and all the details you didn't even realise were happening!

I've had a camera in my hands for over 10 years and officially launched Shannon Joy Photography in 2023. I'm based in Melbourne but always happy to travel back home to Albury Wodonga for sessions it's the perfect excuse to visit my family!

If you're looking for a photographer who feels more like a friend with a camera than someone making you pose all day...

I think we'll get along just fine.
