Welcome to Shailee Connolly Photography – I’m so glad you’ve chosen to visit my page.

I am a wife, mother, and business woman who has always known one thing for sure – I truly love art and photography.

I am a lover of organic, timeless, and stylised images of newborn babies and love bringing out the unique energy and character of each little bundle of joy. My style is somewhat dreamlike but natural at the same time, with lots of texture and beautiful light.

Originally from Brisbane, Australia, I taught Visual Art to secondary students for many years which enabled me to pass on some of my passion to the younger generation and to explore many different artistic styles and techniques. When my children were born, this love of photography easily transferred into motherhood. I made it my mission to capture all of the special moments in their development and set up a studio in my house to produce the best images possible. Some beautiful portraits started to emerge and it didn’t take long for friends and family to begin asking me to take portraits for them too. I quickly became hooked on newborn photography and found it simply joyous to capture these perfect little people – their pouty lips, their tiny fat rolls, their peaceful sleep.

I really look forward to meeting you and your loved ones.
