Where real life meets beautiful photography
modern & authentic
You want someone who shows up with a camera, yes, but more importantly, you want someone who's crafted an experience.
Someone who thinks about the light before we even meet, who creates an atmosphere where you feel seen and comfortable, who guides you gently while letting the real moments unfold naturally.
That's what I do. Every session is intentional, thoughtfully planned, and designed to feel as good as the final images look.
You don't want JUST A PHOTOGRAPHER...

"I had an awesome time shooting with Shelby. She came prepared with poses for me to do, which was extremely helpful! She made me feel like a princess by assisting me every step of the way.

We had such a wonderful experience during our family photoshoot! Shelby was amazing with my husband and me, and especially with our three little ones. She was incredibly patient, sweet, and made the whole session feel so comfortable. She even played music for the kids to help them feel happy and relaxed. You can tell she truly loves what she does. Our photos came out beautiful, and we’re so grateful for the memories she captured. Highly recommend!💕

Working with Shelby was seamless, she was very communicative before, during, and even after our photo session. She's very professional but, friendly and easy to be around - or even welcome her into my home for the appointment. I would definitely book her again.
