Shannon has a hidden talent. She has an eye for detail and is a creative person. My photography session with her for my autumn/winter collection was fabulous. She handled the unpredictable weather very well and managed to pull off the whole 13 outfits altogether resulting in wonderful photos just the way I want them to be. There will definitely be more projects with Shannon. She's a great photographer and potentially a good friend.
Bravo Shannon!

Our family recently had the pleasure of having a photo session with Shannon. The entire shoot was very relaxed; Shannon is extremely friendly and happy to go with the flow which is perfect when you have young children. The shoot resulted in some stunning family and children's pictures that we and our families will treasure forever. I have, and will continue to recommend Shannon to my family and friends and will definitely be booking her again for future family occasions.
Thank you,
Kelly, Doug, Ethan & Owen xoxo

Shannon's photos speak for themselves really - they are just beautiful! She has captured the real spirit of our babies so perfectly. Shannon's easy and relaxed way with children makes them so comfortable and willing to be photographed by her. We struggle to get photos of them ourselves! We will be hiring Shannon to update our family photos for years to come. Those we have so far are much-loved treasures in our family.
Thank you,

Shannon's photos have captured the precious spirit, beauty and individuality of my children. She photographs you with minimal instruction, allowing the moment to unfold, resulting in wonderful, unstaged shots full of life and those delicate fleeting moments.
Thankyou,

Having never had our photos taken professionally before, we weren't sure what to expect when I booked a family photo shoot and so nerves had set in. However, we ended up having a great time and felt completely at ease while Shannon snapped away giving us helpful hints along the way. The result was a beautiful set of photographs that we will treasure for years to come.
Thanks,
Ellen, Johnny and Dan

The launch of my debut novel Hollywood Ending was a very important event for me. Shannon McDonald Photography captured the moment beautifully, and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

Thank you so much for the beautiful photos you took of Andrew at two weeks (and his proud parents). They are lovely and captured him so perfectly. You were so patient and put Glenn and I completely at ease, from the photos you'd never know the number of times we needed to stop and feed etc.
Thanks again,

This photo shoot was the most painless I have ever experienced! Shannon made it fun and there was no hanging about, just efficiency and friendliness and lots of good ideas to show our family at its best!

We had a great time with Shannon taking photos of our twin boys. She was able to capture some great images and we had a really hard time choosing which ones to print. Thanks heaps for a great experience. I would highly recommend Shannon to anybody who wants some fantastic and unique photos.
