This wedding planner recommends Shelby's work!

Shelby and I worked together on a wedding in May 2023. I found her to be responsive, knowledgable, and kind. On the wedding day, she was efficient and helpful, running ahead of schedule and always available to communicate with me. I really enjoyed working with her and hope to do so again.

Best Photographer

Shelby has that rare quality in a photographer to give you direction while also letting you be you. She was a blessing to have on our wedding day and our engagement shoot. She take stunning images. Her communication is wonderful! I can't recommend her enough.

Shelby is magic. She is able to see and capture the quietest of moments, along with all the big ones. After working with Shelby, it's easy to see why she has so many repeat clients. Not only are her photos breathtaking, but she has such a gentle, warm presence as well, and directs her shoots exquisitely.

Shelby is positively wonderful. She is chill, easy to get along with, the kind of person you want to be friends with! Our wedding photos are stunning. We love her candid photography style mixed in with the obligatory posed photos. Such a great value as she gives you the digital files of all of the photos (so many photographers make you pay extra for this!). We loved working with her so much that we hired her to take our newborn photos. We've recommended her to other friends who have also had great experiences. Book her! You won't regret it.

Shelby was so fun to work with on our wedding day and she captured the essence of our day perfectly. She truly is a "photo ninja," as she calls herself, snapping shots of special, intimate moments without anyone knowing she's there. Her style is candid and genuine and we love our photos. Also a very reasonable price for the quality product she delivers. Thanks Shelby!!

Shelby was great! We just got the edited photos from her and we love them. She was great to work with and she captured all the best moments. And her price was more reasonable than other photographers with a similar style. Very happy with the result!

BEST. PHOTOGRAPHER.EVER. Shelby managed to be everywhere yet completely invisible. She captured private, public, quite and loud moments with her keen eye. Only good things to say

Working with Shelby on our engagement and wedding photography was so fun! Shelby has a calm, chill, fun personality and made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her. She spent a good amount of time with us talking about our vision for our photos and also was really willing to work with us on cost. Shelby's style is very light, and natural which is exactly what we were looking for. She was also willing to send over sneak peaks of our images to be used for specific things (like wedding website and announcements) earlier than promised which we really appreciated. All in all, it was a joy to work with her and the photographs that we have of this time in our lives are definitely going to be cherished for a very long time!
