I’m a motherhood and family photographer, but really, I like to think of myself as your personal storyteller. My passion lies in capturing those perfectly imperfect moments—the sticky kisses, the bear hugs, the wild giggles, and even the chaos that makes your family, yours.
As a mom myself (or someone who just gets it), I know how fleeting these moments are. One day it’s tiny fingers wrapped around yours, and the next, you’re wondering where the time went. That’s why I’m here—to bottle up this season of your life so you can hold onto it forever.
My sessions are laid-back and full of laughter. No stiff poses, no awkward smiles—just the raw, real, and ridiculously beautiful connections that make your family unique. Whether it’s documenting the quiet magic of new motherhood or the loud, love-filled chaos of a growing family, my goal is simple: to create images that make you feel something every time you look at them.
So, let’s ditch the picture-perfect pressure and celebrate your beautifully messy story. I’d love to connect and help you hold onto the moments that matter most.

i am a HUGE musical theatre nerd.
I love my 2 golden retrievers named sonoma + willow.
I’ve been known to climb on couches, crouch in bushes, or lie on the ground to get that perfect shot.
It's a great big world. Let's go!
see where I'm headed next:

"She creates masterpieces."

Floored all of us with her talent and passion!
THANK YOU SHELBY!"
- Jackson + Morgan
"Shelby captured all of our joy."
"I have been losing sleep over waiting (only three days) for our family photos out of excitement. Shelby captured all of our joy. Thank you for making this such a memorable experience. We can’t wait for you to watch us grow together as our son gets older. Can’t wait to book another session. Thank you!"
- Emily
"Our pictures turned out perfect!"
"Shelby was amazing! She kept my husband, our baby, and me comfortable throughout the shoot, and our pictures turned out perfect! We highly recommend Shelby to anyone considering family photos."
- Morgan
"Every time I look at the shots, I am transported back to the moments instantly."
"Shelby was so amazing to work with. From the very beginning she was so communicative and helpful with getting everything organized for our big day. She went above and beyond to make us feel special and captured the day of our wedding perfectly. Every time I look at the shots, I am transported back to the moments instantly. We got our pictures back in a timely manner and her user interface is excellent for sharing photos with friends and family and ordering prints and cards. Book her for sure- you will be so pleased you did!
- Hilary
"We just had to show up and be ourselves!"
What can I say!?!? Shelby was incredible. She picked out a beautiful location and had all the details planned...we just had to show up and be ourselves! We have never taken quality pictures together, and Shelby provided SOOO much help with directing poses while keeping true to our story and personalities.
They always say when someone is passionate about what they’re doing, it shows and it definitely does with Shelby behind the camera! She took time to get to know us and our interests, her emotions and attitude during the shoot were genuine, and you can tell she takes time to make sure your photos are true to you and not “over-polished”. I can’t wait to have Shelby capture future moments in my life!!!

" She took the most beautiful unique shots that I will treasure for the rest of my life"
Thee BEST photographer!! Shelby was everything I could have imagined as a wedding photographer. She directed us how to pose & where to place our hands, etc she was the perfect instructor (which is what we needed on a day where we had so much on our minds lol). She was SO creative too which is what I love the most. She took the most beautiful unique shots that I will treasure for the rest of my life. She was relaxed & cool & was open to anything I wanted to try. I had so much fun too & I think that is so important... to be able to enjoy your day & the entire experience & she made it all happen. Pictures were sent super fast too which I greatly appreciated. She truly is the best!! I can’t thank her enough for capturing my favorite day with my favorite person :)
- Chelsea
"11/10 would recommend!"
"Planning a proposal in a place you have never been seems daunting, but Shelby helped me draw up a flawless plan and was there every step of the way. The pictures turned out better than I could have expected and somehow captured how perfect the moment was. My fiancée 😉 and I will always have these pictures to look back on and they truly do the moment justice. Thanks so much Shelby!! 11/10 would recommend!"
