My Story

Born and bred in the North East, I have a passion for the country and specialise in capturing rural and farm properties, showcasing the unique essence of North East Victoria’s countryside.

With a long-standing passion for photography and two years of experience in a real estate marketing department, joining Open2View was a natural choice for me.

Over the past five years, I’ve developed a strong reputation as one of the most recognised photographers in the region.

I was honoured to receive Open2View Victoria’s Most Improved Photographer award in 2023 and have earned my Premium Photographer certification, placing me among the select Open2View photographers who wear this badge of recognition.

I offer a comprehensive range of services, including ground and aerial photography, floorplans, video, 3D homeviews, and virtual furniture.

Hobbies and Interests

I am very lucky in my business to be doing what I love full time which is obviously photography! On my days off you will find me hanging out with my fella, friends, family and dogs, riding my horse, cuddling my cows, camping or photographing a rodeo or equine event of some description for my other photography business 'The Canon Cowgirl' Not many days go by where I don't have a camera in my hand :)

Why Did I Choose This Line of Work?

This was a very simple choice for me. I love photography and I have always loved realestate. I worked as a sales assistant, marketing manager and even dipped my toes into being a sales agent for a short time but I realised that what I loved most about realestate was the properties themselves and the stories they tell. I am so blessed to now play a major part in telling a properties story through my photography

Favourite Camera Lens

This is a vast question as it depends on the style of photography I am doing... For Real Estate I primarily use my Canon 16-35mm which provides lovely wide angles that aren't too wide or distorted and gorgeous cropped lifestyle shots and for my portraits, rodeos and equine events that I shoot outside of Real Estate I have my trusty Canon 70-200mm lens which is the perfect allrounder for what I need!

Some of my happy clients...

Have used Shaye numerous times. Her timing, quality of work and communication are fantastic.

Rhys Lyster - Garry Nash & Co

Shaye was able to schedule a time that we specifically needed with no fuss. She took plenty of time to look across the property to ensure she was able to photograph it at its best. Very quickly Shaye had the edited photographs returned to us.
