About me

I am so happy that you are here!

Hi, I'm Shelby. I am 31 years old, and proudly a 90's kid at heart, and it shows in the way I approach life and photography- with a spirit of carefree fun. My sessions are never about stiff poses or polished perfection. Instead, I chase the candid, fleeting moments that feel real and unrepeatable.


Photography has been my passion for nearly three years now and it has transformed me in ways I never expected. Each story I tell through images helps me discover more of who I am, while giving others the chance to see their own lives reflected with honesty and depth.

A little bit about me. I am a United States Marine Corps Veteran and served from 2015-2019. While I was active duty, I met my husband whom I have two beautiful children with. We have been married for going on ten years. We have been through a lot together which shaped us into who we are and me with how I view the world. Since getting out of the military, I have acquired various forms of education.

In 2019 I completed my medical assistant degree and due to the events of 2020 with COVID, decided to change my career path and attended college to gain a degree in criminal justice. So why do I do photography? It is where I find passion in life and something I truly enjoy doing. Photography is my way of letting go of the stress from what I have to do in order to survive.

This woman is a doll, absolutely took care of me and my daughter the entire time keeping us busy and engaged. Encourages play and freedom, very creative, and she's so so kind. I would recommend Shelby to ANYONE who wants photos done! Our session was such a breeze, and I can't wait to see the photos we get back, thank you again!

Shelby was absolutely amazing to work with! She really walks you through posing and helps you to catch the vision she wants to create! It makes it super easy to know how to move and what to do for photos! She was super sweet and made us feel really comfortable with her. Our photos were seriously so beautiful! They were creative, beautiful, and funny all at the same time which sums up my family well. I love that she included some of the silly photos because they turned out to be my favorite. She did a great job of getting posed and natural moments! She also gave photos extremely quickly! would highly recommend!
