You deserve to have your unique story beautifully told.
Louisville, KY Motherhood, Lifestyle + Family Photographer
LET'S DO THIS!
It's about more than photos for me.
Becoming a mother myself has made me deeply appreciate the fleeting moments of motherhood. I’m passionate about capturing the genuine love and connection in these moments, creating images that become cherished memories of your family's story. Through my lens, I preserve the heartfelt beauty and authenticity of your everyday life.
You're my people if you find joy in the small moments of everyday life, like bedtime stories and morning cuddles
You're my people if you find endless joy in watching your child grow and learn, celebrating each milestone with overwhelming pride and love.

"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!!!
- Emily
" 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!"

MY CLIENTS ARE
Connected and...
Deeply
I give you all the beautiful moments I captured throughout your session, taking away the repeats, eyes closed, mid-talking, or unusable blurry images. I promise to never leave out an important moment.
You can expect to receive 50-60 fully edited images for every hour of coverage.
Please note: I never deliver RAW images.
I limit shoot schedule each year in order to provide you with quick turnaround times:
• Lifestyle Sessions: 2-3 weeks
You will receive them in a gorgeous online custom gallery.
In order to book your date, I require a 50% non-refundable retainer at the time of contract signing. The remaining balance will be Due one day before the session.
I accept a variety of payment methods but my favorite is Venmo.
If you need to use the other methods, I would be happy to invoice for that with an added transaction fee of 4%
If you need me to travel 20+ miles from Louisville, KY, I do require a travel fee.
I've been a photographer since December 2017.
I will edit out blemishes, bruises, cuts, distractions in the background, and small things, but I will not make changes to your body. In the spirit of promoting body positivity and self love, my job is to emphasize your natural beauty. I want you to look like yourself in the photos I deliver. Don't worry, I will pose you in a way that is the most flattering to your body type.
Unless I decided to offer seasonal mini sessions the answer is....Simply put, nope. Whether your session is mid-week or in the off-season, I still show up and give the same amount of effort, enthusiasm, love and time.
The only caveat to this rule is if your session in one of my bucket list destinations: Iceland, Bali, South Africa, Italy, Spain, France, The Maldives, Portugal, Alaska, Fiji, and Greece.
I would describe my style as true to life and colorful. I want the images you receive to reflect what you saw and felt for yourself in the moment. My editing style is always evolving sometimes bringing in a a variation between darker and lighter tones + feeling based on the setting and lighting of the situation. Your gallery will include about 5-10% black and white images because I love how timeless they are, however not every photo is meant to be presented in black and white.
I am here to offer you a safe and loving space to be yourselves no matter who you are, what you look like or what you believe in. My clients don't fall into any one category. They are simply in human.
