FAQ'S
To secure your date, I require a signed contract and a $500 non-refundable deposit for elopements or $100 deposit for sessions.
The remaining balance is due 2 weeks before your wedding day or on the day of your session. Since dates fill up quickly (especially September-October), I recommend booking as early as possible.
At this time I am primarily photographing weddings and elopements in NH, VT, ME and Upstate NY. Travel for weddings is always included in these states. If you are getting married outside of this area a travel fee may apply.
For sessions, travel is included within 100 miles of Canaan, NH. Travel fees will apply outside of this radius. Mini Sessions are available locally only.
A sneak peek gallery is sent within 48 hours
Final galleries are delivered in 10 days for session and 30 days for weddings or elopements
I do not have a permanent studio and prefer to photograph with natural light, so most of my sessions take place outdoors or in your home. If you are wanting an indoor session, but not in your home, there are several studios in my area available to rent!
"Obsessed. Love working with Shelby. We have done an engagement shoot, a couples shoot, and our wedding. Our photos have been absolutely amazing! In love. Shelby is willing to work with you to give you the photos you always wanted. Sneak peaks come so quick and every time blew us away! Absolutely stunning! She is kind and makes taking photos feel calm, easy, and special.. especially for my husband, who is not comfortable in front of a camera. He felt so comfortable with Shelby. She is professional and responds fast whenever you have a question! I highly recommend you book Shelby. Beyond blessed to have her capture our big moments in life! We will for sure be reaching out again for more shoots in the future. Love love love! So many thanks!"
"If you’re looking for a photographer look no further than Shelby! When I found her page on Instagram I knew she was the one to capture our engagement photos and since then she’s shot my boudoir, our wedding, the introduction of our puppy, and I can’t wait to work with her for future big life moments. She made us feel so comfortable and gave us prompts that made us look like models! Everyone I know says that our photos look like they came straight from magazines and it’s so true. I’m so grateful to have found her. On top of it all, I feel so lucky to have gotten to know her and watch her page as she makes other couples dreams come true. I would leave this review a million times over. Thank you Shelby, I can’t wait to work together again soon!"
"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. 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. I cannot stop looking at our pictures, she truly captured the events so beautifully. We have such a love for Shelby and could not be more thankful to her. We will have these pictures for the rest of our lives and we owe her so much for how wonderfully they came out. I cannot say enough great things about Shelby! She is the best!!"
JOCELYN + JOHN - ACADIA NATIONAL PARK
We worked with Shelby for both our engagement photos in the White Mountains as well as our elopement in Acadia National Park. Shelby was knowledgeable and helpful in providing insight/planning for both of these occasions! She had great suggestions when it came to locations and timeline to ensure we got as many shots/locations within the amount of time we had booked. She makes being in front of the camera natural and really makes you feel like your authentic self. We greatly appreciated how communicative she was and how quickly we received “sneak peek” photos from each session! We will cherish these memories for a lifetime! We would HIGHLY recommend Shelby to any couple searching for beautiful, fun, authentic and natural photographs to document their most important life events.
"SHE MAKES BEING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA NATURAL AND REALLY MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF."
