CAPTURING THE REAL. THE RAW. THE             
BEAUTIFUL NOW.

Hey There, I’m Shelby!

I’m a photographer and storyteller with a documentary-style approach, focused on capturing life as it truly is. Not staged or overly polished—just honest moments, natural movement, and the quiet details that tell a deeper story.

I want your photos to reflect it all—whether we’re chasing a summit sunrise, making magic by the water, or simply existing in a moment that feels like yours.

If you’re looking for someone to capture the beauty in life’s chaos, I think we’ll get along just fine.

"When I say Shelby is amazing, it is because there are no [better] words to describe how awesome she is!! 

She made all of my guests feel at home, and the pictures she took captured the true essence of our special day! She puts thought and love into every picture. She is kind and real and absolutely fantastic! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a creative and fun photographer! I don’t think you could find anyone more special! Truly love her."

"I walked away feeling confident and energized. And THE FINAL PICTURES?! They are stunning.

My boudoir shoot with Shelby was an experience that was far beyond everything I had expected. She has a way of working with you and your body to catch the best possible angle, the best light, and the best mood for her pictures, at the same time ensuring that you feel comfortable and heard. The session didn’t feel like it was just a task for her to complete, I saw her passion and enthusiasm every time she took a picture. She worked with me to figure out what look/mood I wanted in editing and she took the time to hear me and curate those images perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough! Book her, you won’t regret it.
