Sandy Connon Photography

We have not long ago completed our second round of family portraits with Sandy with quite a number of years between each session. Our first selection have become much loved portraits of our family members but of course families change and grow - some partners and pets come and go and we are now enjoying Sandy's magic artistry with our family of today. We have all aged a bit but Sandy's eye and lens catches the essence of us all. She has provided us with some particularly special treasure images of our grand-twins, shear joy!

Sandy has managed to capture that special image of all 5 of my children. She has such a special way with young children and managed to bring out the best in each of my kids to capture that special memory. Each session with Sandy from start to finish has been so professional. I would highly recommend her expertise and services to any family to preserve those treasured memories.

We first met Sandy when a Christchurch photographer we admired recommended her as THE photographer for our Wellington wedding in 1996.Since then Sandy has captured our growing family in a priceless manner where our three boys look forward to going back to Sandy’s studio and creating new memories whilst also recreating scenes from previous visits. Taking pride of place in our home Sandy’s photos are admired by all.Sandy is not just a photographer nor is she just a conductor of a moment in time. Sandy joins her subjects and immerses herself with her subjects to make each and every photographic session a memory in itself and create a beautiful record of that special time in our life.

Sandy's regularly taken magical portraits of our daughters as they've grown up. She captures the essence of their personality in a way I've not seen anyone else manage. How she does it beyond me but the portraits send shivers down my spine every single time I pass them on the stairs and in the hall.

Sandy captured my most precious, challenging yet treasured life moment of bringing twins into this world to join our little family of 3. We still have these photos in prime position around the house 16 years later. Son 1 was 2.5 year old when 2 weeks after the twins safely arrived we revisited Sandy's Newtown studio. He was not in the mood to behave for photos, however Sandy's personality, professionalism, creativity and genuine passion for her clients captured timeless, life filled images of all 5 of us that I look at today and return easily to those moments. Today we are about to pick up images Sandy did of our family 14 years later. She would rather capture the moment in time and allow time to pay off the investment than miss the moment due to $. I do not hesitate to invest in Sandy as she does what she loves with love and I intend to have her capture the love in our family many years into the future.

Sandy photographed our family last year. She was really great to work with. We had a fidgety four year old and one year old twins, and she was awesome with them. Her photos were really great. We love our photos. Just wished we could have been able to buy more of the prints.

Sandy takes beautiful photos. Her relaxed and happy manner means you get relaxed and happy images. She has great creative talent so chooses interesting composition and locations that make you and your family look cool! Highly recommend. (My profile shot is one of hers).

I have had a couple portraits done by Sandy and love giving her gift vouchers to parents of newborns. Sandy develops a great rapport with clients and captures beautiful aspects of people's personality in her photos.

I can highly recommend Sandy as a fantastic photographer as I have seen lots of her wonderful photos plus luckily have personally experience when Sandy photographed our family. Sandy took lots of great photos of us and it was very hard to choose which ones we would have framed and hang on our wall. But we eventually chose and they hang prominently in our hallway. Every time I pass them and look at them, they make me feel happy.

I can't recommend Sandy highly enough to ANYONE wanting the best photos of their family.Sandy arrives, immediately puts everyone at ease, and then with a professional eye scouts round for backdrops you never knew existed in your own home! Regardless of the range of ages Sandy is working with, she chats to everyone so you aren't even aware she has taken a wide range of photos.The resulting work is phenomenal. She not only captures an image but a sense of the soul, as well. Her prints are exquisite and I would strongly recommend any client goes with her framing suggestions. Sandy is the 'real deal' - She is an artist.
