Hi, I am Shaylea
Hello!!
I’m Shaylea! I run Love & Bloom Photography
My passion? Capturing those beautiful candid moments of life & love. Those big moments, little ones, and everything in between. Not only am I just your photographer, but your biggest hype girl, your go-to cheerleader, and your favourite third-wheel for those couple sessions!
I thrive on connection and I absolutely LOVE meeting new people.
When I’m not doing this job I work both in the professional photography industry and in childcare, and currently studying to be a teacher. That means if you’ve got little ones - don’t worry I’ve totally got this. Years of working with kids have gifted me with patience, playfulness and creativity.
Outside of work, I’m a total people-person who loves travelling, spontaneous adventures and making memories with the people I love most.
As someone who is drawn to connection - my speciality is couples photography -the quiet moments, the laughter between breaths, the way two people naturally find each other. My work is rooted in creating romantic imagery that feels honest and unforced, images that reflect how love actually looks when you’re fully present with one another.
My mission is simple: to create a fun, comfortable and meaningful photography experience while gifting you images that feel real, timeless and true to you.
I’m so excited to be apart of your story! 🤍
All my love,
Shaylea

I booked in a double photoshoot with Shaylea and it was hands down the best experience ever! I found my confidence with the help of being my hype crew.
I highly recommend booking in your next shoot with these gorgeous and kind souls, they are by far the best photographers and she made the shoot 10000x better, so smooth and amazing.
