About Me

I’ve been drawn to photography for as long as I can remember. Over 15 years of studying light, connection, and the subtle details that often go unnoticed. For me, it’s never been just about creating beautiful images. It’s about capturing something real, something that lingers long after the moment has passed.

My work is rooted in a quiet, intentional approach. I’m not here to overly pose or manufacture moments, but to guide you just enough that you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself. It’s within that space, where you can simply exist, that the most meaningful images are created.

I’m endlessly inspired by human connection. The way someone looks at you when you think no on else is watching. The softness, the laughter, the energy between people. These are the moments I pay attention to; the ones that might otherwise be forgotten, but end up meaning the most.

My perspective has been profoundly shaped by my own journey through motherhood and surrogacy. Those experiences deepened my understanding of what it means to give, to trust, and to hold space for others in some of the most meaningful seasons of their lives. It’s something I carry into every session; an awareness of how fleeting and significant these moments truly are.

Because of that, I approach my work with a level of care that goes beyond just the images. From the first conversation to the final gallery, every detail is thoughtfully considered.

My style lives somewhere between editorial and documentary. Images that feel natural, but undeniably elevated. Honest, yet artful. Raw and affectionate.

At the end of the day, this isn’t just about photography. It’s about creating something that reflects you beautifully and in a way that will still feel just as meaningful years from now.

Jordan Stevenson

“I’ve worked with Shelby across a large spectrum of styles; from high-fashion editorials and lifestyle shoots to professional headshots and brand imagery. The photos are always elevated, polished and exactly what I envisioned. She isn’t just a photographer; she’s a vital part of my creative and professional brand. I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking to elevate their visual presence.”

Jessica Smith

“I can’t recommend Shelby enough. She creates such a comfortable, uplifting environment that makes it easy to feel confident and truly yourself. Even if you’re not used to being photographed, she guides you so everything feels natural and effortless. Everytime I leave a session, I feel more confident and so grateful to have such beautiful memories captured. Shelby is incredibly talented and an absolute joy to work with.”

Hollie Evans

“Shelby just gets it. She makes you feel confident, comfortable and completely yourself and it shows in every photo.

Truly such a special experience.”

Angela Burningham

“We have had a couple of shoots with Shelby, and I truly can’t say enough good things about our experiences! The photos always turn out absolutely beautiful — even better than we hoped for. Her turnaround time was incredibly fast, which we appreciated so much.

Shelby was professional, on time, and so friendly from start to finish. Our most recent shoot we were racing against the setting sun and freezing temperatures, Shelby worked quickly and efficiently to get all the shots we needed and more, without making us feel rushed. Most impressively, she captured amazing smiling photos of our toddler, which is no small task!

The value was also incredible, we received so many wonderful images for the price! If you’re looking for someone talented, organized, and great with families, I highly recommend Shelby. We will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
