Absolutely AMAZING!! Over the last 3 years Shan has photographed our family and has captured the most beautiful memories! We couldn’t wait to get Shan to share her magic with our newborn twins! Thank you Shan for capturing these beautiful memories of our family! Highly recommend!
Shannon
Wow. Where to start. Shan is an outstanding artist who excels in her field. From the moment you meet her you can tell she is passionate about everything that she does. The work that she produces is breathtaking and she is quite the baby whisperer, she has the magic touch to calm bubs down. Her extensive prop choices and amazing eye for detail makes for the most adorable photos. Shan is a beautiful person who creates beautiful memories.

Absolutely love the service we get with Shan from BabyJoy Art. We have been seeing Shan for multiple shoots over the past year and the client photographer relationship my family has built with Shan is irreplaceable! Not to mention my little man loves all the extra attention and hugs provided during these sessions. But not only is the service amazing the outcome is just flawless! We have purchased numerous shoots and photo products now and they are always top quality and just beautiful. Will be a long time family photographer for sure.
Rebecca
Shannon is a wonderful photographer with an amazing passion for what she does! This is our second time getting photos done by Shan and we again were not disappointed by her amazing work! We recommend Shannon for all of your family photo needs!
Amy
Being a first time mum it can be hard to find someone that you trust to take those precious first photos of your newborn. From the very first phone call Shann was just so amazing at how she explained everything and the way she did things. On the day of our shoot I have never seen someone so calm and relaxed at how they handled a newborn to position them for all the different shoots, it was not only the baby that was calm but myself and parents. I cannot thank Shann enough for the amazing experience and photos.
Bree Paranihi
Shannon was absolutely amazing with our 1 week old boy, he was unsettled and ready for a change/feed on arrival but Shannon was able to resettle him almost instantly and he slept through the entire process thanks to her magic hands. The photographs she created are magical and we will forever cherish her amazing art!
Kelsey Griffin
Cannot recommend Shannon enough. She was so kind and patient with our baby girl. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in her hands. She also listened to and respected all of my requests and wishes for what photos I wanted and how I wanted my baby to look. We even stayed for a good old yarn afterwards, which made the whole experience so much nicer. It wasn’t just a business kind of vibe. Shannon took the time to get to know all of us which was very comforting. The art shop can be tricky at first to navigate, but Shannon is always willing to answer my messages and help me out. Was well worth the trip from Hobart!

Couldn’t be any happier with the experience Shan provided. We are over the moon with our photos and will definitely be returning xxx
Rebecca
Shannon is an amazing photographer! She is super patient with babies and will spend the time to achieve your vision. She made us feel very comfortable and was amazing with our little baby! She is super talented and all of our images were perfect. I highly recommend Shannon for anyone looking for a Newborn photographer! We will definitely be using Shannon again.
Michelle
Our experience with Shan was amazing, she made it such fun for the children! We are so happy with the quality of the photos, as she has captured such wonderful moments. I would definitely recommend Baby Joy Art, and can’t wait for our next family adventure. Thanks again.

As first time parents to be, walking around the Launceston Baby Expo we had no clue when to book or who to book for our newborn photos… and then Shannon greeted us! Shannon was open to any questions asked about the booking process and told us what we should expect from a newborn session – we booked our shoot instantly. Every point of contact that was made prior to our session was clear, professional and easy going. Nothing too much for this new mum baby brain!! At our shoot, Shannon once again showed her professionalism with working her magic with our new little babe – Matilda. How does one calm a baby so quickly!! Shannon would always talk us through of what she was going to be doing with Matilda and made the family portraits quick, simple and stress-free (especially since I’m not a photo person!) Upon finishing up our session, it was like we had known Shannon for years. We walked out with the confidence that we had definitely chosen the perfect photographer to capture our first little babe. We are so in love with our digital gallery and cannot wait to receive our product. XX

We were greeted by a bubbly lady (Shannon) at the 2021 baby expo and thought her photos were so beautifully taken that we wanted to get some family photos done (dog included) at an outdoor session to keep forever. The whole process was super easy, and the session went so quick, which was great because we have a 9 month old who was due for bed. We did think afterwards “hmm, that was so quick I wonder if we even got any good ones”… And my word we did! It made it so hard for us to pick just a few! The turn around from getting the photos taken to receiving the edited gallery was also so fast! There is nothing better than having a photographer who not only captures special moments for you to have forever, but who is also the friendliest. It makes the experience all the more enjoyable! Thank you again Shannon.
Nikitta, Ben Bigwood
We have had a couple of sessions with Shan now and we have loved every second. Shan is so welcoming and made us feel so comfortable. We recommend baby joy art to all our family and friends. Not only is she extremely professional but she has a wicked sense of humour and makes it so much fun. Thank you for capturing the most beautiful photos of our little man in the first weeks of his life entering this side of the world.
Claire
Shannon was amazing throughout our session with our newborn son. As first time parents we felt at ease the entire time as she ensured our son was safe and comfortable with each different pose and setup. The passion and dedication Shannon places on her work was evident in our finalised gallery. Each image captured the intricate details of our son and will be treasured for many years to come. I will definitely be a returning customer!
Shan Atkins
Such a great experience! We did a cake smash with Shannon and it was such a fun experience. Shannon not only does the photos but provides a gorgeous cake and some clothes for bub to use so that they don’t make a mess on what they are wearing. The studio is set up perfectly for the shoot and Shannon is so organised! Shannon is so professional yet so caring that it makes it a great experience for the parents and the child. We would highly recommend her and cannot wait for the next opportunity to have photos with her again.
Shannon Stevens
Wow, where do I even begin?! From the first contact with Shannon we were pleasantly surprised. She talked us through each stage of the photography and artwork process to make sure that we understood how it all worked. Her professionalism is of the highest standard and her images are of the highest quality. Our newborn shoot was just breathtaking and Shannon has the magic touch when it comes to settling bubs! I cannot wait to have another shoot with Shannon, she goes above and beyond!
Teagan Symonds
Shannon has been so lovely to work with. On the day so professional and patient with our crawling bub. We absolutely adore our photos and cant wait to receive our products.

Would highly recommend Shan!! She was absolutely amazing, made us all feel so comfortable and my boy loved her she was like the baby whisperer! Our photos were all PERFECT, makes it so hard to pick which ones our favourites are. We will definitely be coming back to get more photos in the future ❤️
Karrie Taylor
Shan is just amazing. The compassion she puts in to her photos is just next level. The connection she created with our little bub Owen and the connection she created with myself and my husband is just mesmerising. Shan is the first ever photographer to get my husband to smile in a photo and she smashed it every time. We love the memories she has created for us to have for a life time and look back on. We can not thank Shan enough.
Barsha karki
Shannon creates magic. She has captured the most special moments of my family’s life. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience.
Jye Dodt
Shannon was amazing for our newborn session. We cannot recommend her highly enough. If there was 6 stars she’d be getting them. We went there not sure about what to expect and thought we might need to settle Sophia quite regularly but instead we just sat back and cuddled for three hours while Shannon get pooed and weed on without flinching.
Sophie Maddick
Shan was absolutely amazing! We were so comfortable with her, our baby was comfortable with her, and on top of that our photos were STUNNING. Can not recommend her enough, 11/10 xx
Selena and Tom
We LOVE our photos – Shannon was brilliant to work with and so amazing with our Baby Coco for newborn photos. Thank you!!

Shannon runs a beautiful little studio, perfect place to capture such beautiful memories. She was very patient and understanding with my 15 months old son who didn’t want to sit still, but she tried everything possible to capture a perfect image. With my sons newborn photos Shan was so gentle and incredible with him, and the images that she has captured are beyond anything I could have imagined. They’re so beautiful and perfect and I am so thankful I can look back on such wonderful memories thanks to Shan.
Kerry Kinross
Shannon’s talent isn’t only in her amazing photography, it’s in her connection with the people she creates memories for and with. She uses her intuition along with her need for excellence to create meaningful images.
Holly
Shannon was absolutely amazing to have our shoot with, she was so great with our kids and fast with producing the photos/sneak peak. I would highly recommend her to anyone for photography.
Linda Lehman
I have only seen some of the photos of my great grand baby Rylee Rae that you took My heart is full of love and joy and can’t wait to have a large family print on my wall
Shania
Would highly recommend Baby Joy Art for your family/ newborn photoshoot! Just to see someone so passionate and creative of her work is amazing. Everything was to perfection for the shoot and we felt so comfortable in her studio while watching the magic happen with our newborn. The images are absolutely breathtaking! Will definitely be back for more photos in the future!
Anna
We had the best time with Shan in her studio. She was so welcoming and warm, taking the time for our children to feel comfortable in her space before getting into the action – which we really appreciated. We’ve had the sneak peak of our shoot and I can’t wait to see more because from what I’ve seen they’re perfect. I’m so excited to order some art, prints and the digital copies! Couldn’t recommend her more.

Shannon is the best in the biz! I have had a full range of shoots done, 2 x baby clubs, family adventure, maternity, labour and birth photos, 1st 24hours after birth, and a milk bath photoshoot too! Every single shoot has been amazing! Shan is always got the safety of your newborns in mind at all times…. which any other photographer ive used(before shan) just wanted to get the shot as quick as possible and it didn’t matter much about the safety of the child. I will never forget the labour shoot as the experience was AMAZING. So empowering and Shan having had kids of her own and a huge advo for empowing women was amazing to have around in those i cant do it moments and to offer a supportive opinion. My hubby was amazing but with shan been through her own births and other births there was things I never knew I could request/do until in the moment when she suggested. I can safely say i love every single photo she has taken of my family and I can’t wait until she can come back to WA as I want more photos lol
