“Sally McCann is an incredible photographer. Her work is incredibly well thought out and intentional. She thinks deeply about the subject: who they are, what they represent, what is important to them and how their story should be told to adequately reflect their passions. Working with Sally McCann was a delightful experience - something I didn’t expect when having my photo taken. She took the time to get to know me, and thought through my personal branding to its fullest extent. Sally made, what I thought would be a nerve-wracking experience, into a really fun experience and formed a real connection with me as a person.
I believe that the portraits that Sally took of me perfectly express my intent with my personal branding, my business and me as a person. Her work creates an instant contact, a true connection with the viewer. Her careful consideration to detail encompasses every aspect too deliver incredibly detailed, quality artworks that are timeless. I loved working with Sally on my portraits and personal branding and would recommend her too others who want to feel totally at ease having their portrait taken, and have photos enriched with your personality to make real connection with others. ”

“Like many mothers, I am rarely in front of the camera, always taking snaps of my-loved ones but never having any of myself. As well as being reluctant to have my picture taken I am also very critical when seeing photos of myself. But Sally’s professionalism and warmth instantly relaxed us and all my concerns of being in front of the camera washed away. It was obvious sally had a vision of what she wanted to create and I was surprised at how well my normally sassy/stubborn 5 year old responded to Sally’s gentle guidance. The photos she captured of her were nothing short of spectacular. It is such a gift to have generational photos taken of my mum, myself and my daughter that we will all cherish forever. Thank you so much Sally xxx”

“Already knowing Sally in person and seeing her past photos I knew she was an amazing photographer, but the patience and skill she showed in our family shoot was way beyond expectations. Her caring nature kept everyone at ease as she went through countless family and couple combinations, with less than cooperative children (and husbands). We received our prints today and could not be happier with them. Thanks again Sal! ”
““Before my two sessions with Sally I had never had professional photos. The thought of standing in front of a camera in a staged environment made me feel uncomfortable. I shouldn’t have been worried! Sally made my whole family feel completely relaxed from the very start. She was fantastic with my shy little 18 month old, even getting him to smile! I didn’t need to worry about keeping him still for each photo, Sally just let him play and settle into his surroundings, taking photos without him even knowing it most of the time. I’m incredibly grateful to Sally as I now have these beautiful photos that have forever captured my little boy at an age I adored and will cherish forever. I can’t wait to capture more moments.””

“A wonderful experience, Sally made us feel so comfortable and we had such fun! ”
— Sarah Francis, Geelong - Contemporary & Generational Portrait
“My family had our portraits done with Sally earlier this year. We could not be happier with the final results, art work that features us! The entire experience was wonderful. Sally has so much patience, clear directions and joy about her work that you don’t feel like you are in front of a camera. My husband has always hated having photos taken yet admitted freely how much he enjoyed the shoot!
I asked the boys... Davis, aged 10. “ I felt pretty cool having a professional take my photo. Sally made it easy and fun!” Ted, aged 8. “ I liked that she helped me to pose properly and showed me the photos straight away” “ I was pretty nervous before but then Sally made me laugh so much I forgot to be worried. It was lots of fun”
I have known Sally for many years, watched her love and passion for photography grow, seen her behind the scenes with her meticulous attention to detail. I truely believe her skills and dedication have made her into an artist, her camera her tool and each new client her muse. ”

“I could not be happier with my experience with Sally. Everything was of the highest quality, from the dresses she supplied to the USB that the photos came on. Sally is warm, welcoming and very talented.”

“I would 100% recommend Sally to anyone thinking of getting professional photos done. She made the whole process so easy, she listened to everything I said I would like to do for the shoot and even gave me some suggestions that I ended up liking more than my original ideas! Sally has an eye for detail and makes you feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. I’ve never felt more comfortable in front of a camera then I was with Sally. The finished products from my shoot are so amazing and of the highest quality and I know I will cherish the photos for the rest of my life. Thank you Sally!”

“Sally is the most amazing photographer, she captures the true essence of people. She made the experience effortless. Sally took the most incredible photos of my 2x boys who were very young at the time and took some amazing family photos. After losing my mother from cancer before my first son was born I really wanted my Dad to cherish photos of our boys and for him to enjoy them as well as us capturing the memories. You are so talented Sally. I highly recommend Sally to really capture the essence of people beautifully. A true professional.”

“Milestones. Those wonderful rites of passage, the births and birthdays, weddings and anniversaries, graduations and achievements, all those celebrations that we hold so close and look forward to with anticipation and excitement....life in all it’s glory and substance. It’s these moments that can easily pass us by in a blur of planning, stress and excitement on the day. This was foremost in my mind when I asked Sally to photograph my daughter’s wedding day. Her natural photography style, her ability to fade into the background and capture personal, intimate moments with her lens ensured that my daughter and her husband had a modern, whimsical, captivating look into their special day. Sally has an enviable talent and there was never any other choice when selecting an artist to record one of my lifes’ milestones. Thank you Sally McCann Photography for your professionalism, expertise and talent in creating those stunning wedding photos.”

“Thank you so much Sally for capturing my wedding in the most beautiful light! On your wedding day, you spend so much time with the photographer and it was an absolute pleasure having you to spend the day with. Nothing was a problem on the day and everyone felt relaxed (including a photo shy groom) with your style of photography. I was over the moon with the photos! There was so many beautiful ones to cherish and remember our big day! Many, many thanks!!!”
