Welcome!

Hey, I’m Shelby—photographer, storyteller, and the creative soul behind Kairos Images. I’m here for the wildly beautiful, the deeply personal, and the kind of moments that make you feel something.

Whether we’re hiking through the mountains, chasing golden hour, or embracing the chaos of real life... my goal is to capture your story honestly and artfully. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just connection, emotion, and the magic that already exists within you.

If you’re looking for someone who will hype you up, hold space for your truth, and document your life with intention... I think we’ll get along just fine.

Capturing the uniqueness of each individual in a natural and comfortable way is essential for an organic image and that’s what I strive for with each session. It can be intimidating getting in front of a lens for the first time but I assure you- if you’re in front of mine, you will have fun and feel your absolute best.

Genuine emotion is what makes an image come to life + connecting with each client is how I achieve that. I’m here to tell your story through beautiful imagery that lasts a lifetime with a natural and candid approach, creating photos and memories you’ll forever cherish. .

"Shelby did an absolutely AMAZING job with our family pictures! I was worried because my husband and I can be awkward with poses and she told us everything to do and it was just so natural. She captured my husband and I love for eachother 100%! I can’t even get over how amazing the photos of my children are!"

Shelby is an energetic and engaging photographer. I had ideas and she had ideas for photos, and she brilliantly combined the best of both capturing the most heartfelt and amazing photos of my toddler grandson. She was able to keep the mini session moving quickly, yet in a relaxed manner, which provided a fantastic array of shots. They were so stunning that I had to buy them all!"

Karla H.
Shelby is amazing, personable and a very talented photographer. We hired her for a very large family session of 17 people and she did a fabulous job. Her photos are gorgeous and she was very flexible with doing different groupings for photos. Would hire her to do photos again in a heart beat!"

"Shelby creates a professional, safe, and nurturing environment everywhere she goes. She is able to capture the purest moments through her ease of communication and adaptability. Her dedication and creativity flows through her imagery. Shelby is not afraid of weather or of getting down on the wet ground to get the best angle. Some of her best work has been done in the most inclimate conditions and ultimate stretches. Shelby will go to great lengths to achieve your vision. We couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture our Mother's Day photos. Thank you, Shelby, for capturing the very essence of motherhood for us."

"These few photos were only some of the preview shots Shelby shared within 36 hours of our shoot! I’m so glad that we were able to book her before she blows up Maine and the NEK and everywhere in between with her camera, artistry, and professional levity. Hands double down this woman is a talent!!!"

"Shelby put 110% of her effort into all of the details through out our mother/son shoot and with weather not on our side with a toddler, the shoot was as successful as it was because of her. Her ability to capture natural expression and poses is amazing and I truly recommend her photography for any occasion. I look forward to our next time together!"

Sandra P.
"Having the experience of a maternity shoot done by Shelby is something we will cherish forever. She was able to capture our family in the most naturally beautiful way. Our 4 year old is generally shy with photos, but he felt so comfortable around her and loved to be involved. Because of this, many genuinely lovely photos came from the experience. I can't wait to hang the photos from that day on the walls of our home and be able to remember the perfectly tranquil experience our family had with-and because of-Shelby that day."
