I'm an accredited professional photographer, so you can count on me for good, solid, timeless images. I would love to hear all about you and your love story. My friends call me Shell, you can too. My parents call me Michelle or Missy, my husband calls me Wifey, my kids call me Mum and my brother calls me Shellbells.
I'm a Virgo, which means I'm practical as well as a perfectionist, (but not in all areas of my life - my cupboards are really messy!) I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain (Nah not really, where is the umbrella?) And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne Hmm. I'm a family girl and a true romantic; I married my ideal man twice in one year on different sides of the world!

We were blown away with how much we could tell that Shell absolutely loves what she does! Most of the time we forgot that we had hired Shell as when she was photographing us, it felt like we were with an old familiar friend. Shell was very personable and made us and our guests all feel comfortable. The best part about working with Shell was that she cared about the whole wedding going well, not just the photography. Shell went above and beyond by transporting some of the bridal party between photo locations. Also, the energy Shell put in, by literally running to get a great shot was so admirable

Highly recommended. Amazing photographer. Creative. Professional. Beautiful inside and out. THE BEST ❤️ We are so blessed to have Shell as our photographer on our elopement wedding in Australia Zoo. Having Shell as a photographer feels like having a family, best friend and MOH around. She will make you feel the most comfortable on your wedding day. Even though it was windy all throughout the day, we still end up with really beautiful and amazing photos. Could not stop looking at them 😍 If it was not for Shell, I would have struggled the whole day given the strong winds. But Shell took care

Just amazing! Shell’s ability to capture the moment and emotion is so special. Her attention to detail and ability to relate to us made us very comfortable. Her patience with our daughter made us so much more relaxed and allowed for a smooth day. I feel very happy and confident using you again as our family photographer. Thank you so much for everything you did to capture our amazing day together.

The first time I met Shell I knew she was going to be our photographer on our wedding day! She was exactly what we were after - kept us on time and helped calm the nerves for a lot of us. Shell gave us great pointers too for the little things that we didn't think of. She comes with so much experience which was amazing!

OMG! I cannot rate Shell highly enough. She made our sunset photo shoot an event to remember for ever. She helped us relax and captured the true essence of our family with ease. It was so much fun and the end result speaks for itself. Everything about the experience and the photos was 10 out of 10.

Shell is absolutely incredible and we couldn’t recommend her enough. We found Shell through one of the Maleny Wedding Festival’s and from the moment we met her we couldn’t go past her. Shell was so warm and welcoming from the first time we met her. She was so helpful and responsive during the planning process and made the booking process so easy. My partner and I had Shell photograph both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and all of them have been absolutely amazing. She captures the perfect moments and delivers photos that we, along with our families will be able to cherish forever

We found Shell and like many others after speaking with her knew she was the photographer for us. From our engagement shoot with Shell she blew us away, not only did she brave the weather but she embraced it, she gave us confidence from the start. Coming up to our big day we had news drop about the world pandemic, Shell’s first concern was how I was going and what she could possibly do to help, we needed to alter original plans and like the professional she is; she ran with everything I threw her way. Once our big day arrived Shell continued her support and everything ran perfectly and as imagined

Shell did an wonderful job of the photos celebrating our parents 50th wedding anniversary. She was so accommodating and did a great job of making sure everyone had fun. She was especially good with bringing out the personalities of the children and getting some gorgeous shots. We had a wonderful time at the photoshoot. We love the photos and they are a gorgeous memento of a significant milestone.
