The Who & The Why

Hi there! I’m Vanessa, a first-time mum, photographer and the founder of Shutterbug Snaps. After the birth of my baby boy, I quickly realized how precious and fleeting those early moments are. From the glow of pregnancy to the tiny details of my newborn, every moment felt so special to me—and I wanted to capture it all in a way that felt authentic and true to our story.

That’s when I decided to turn my passion for photography into something meaningful: a business dedicated to helping other families preserve those beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime memories.

My mission is simple—make maternity and newborn photography more accessible for all families, no matter your budget. As a new mum myself, I understand the challenges and joys of this journey, and I want to create a comfortable, relaxed experience for you to enjoy every moment, knowing that the photos will be just as meaningful as the memories they represent.
