Life is messy, unpredictable and beautiful in all it's imperfections. I believe that the most meaningful photographs are the ones that tell a story, capturing the essence of your everyday moments.

"We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had such a stellar team of vendors for our wedding, and among them, Shelby truly stood out as a gem. We are forever grateful for the beautiful memories she helped us create and for her unwavering dedication to her craft. Choosing Shelby as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a talented, thoughtful, and genuinely caring photographer for their special day." ---- Linnie + Sean
"She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable during at shoot at home with our two toddlers. We didn't feel pressured to pose, have matching outfits or smile to get perfect photos. Because of this, our photos came out so natural and beautiful, we will cherish them forever." ---- Lucas Family
"Not only were the photos wonderful, but she made every aspect so easy and comfortable. My husband does not love getting pictures taken and Shelby made it so easy, natural and comfortable. Her vibe is very calming and natural and she makes you feel such at ease while taking your photos. Shelby is so easy and fun to work with. She captures your energy and spirit in such a unique way and her edits just make the photos even that much better. For any photo needs you have, please book Shelby. You will never regret it." ---- Kara + Tate
