Shelby Chari is boudoir photographer based in Springfield, Massachusetts. Her photography dabbles between bright colors and filmy black and whites, a good combination of photojournalism and artistic portraiture. Shelby is an engaging person who loves meeting new people and hearing their stories. Her comfort and ease behind the camera help guide even the most timid in front of the camera.
Experience
Shelby has been photographing boudoir since 2012. Her business started in Indiana, but has now made its way to New England. She is willing to travel worldwide for photography sessions.
Services Offered
Shelby offers boudoir sessions at her studio in Downtown Springfield. She wants to shine light on the beauty of real life. She offers a unique experience and wants all sessions to feel like the ultimate day at the spa. All sessions include hair and makeup styling, posing and prep advice and use of the client closet at the studio. To allow the flexibility to choose the products that work best for you; Images, Prints, and Products are sold separately.
We can't say enough good things about Shelby - she was the first vendor we hired and was the best decision we made for our wedding. She was so easy to work with for both our engagement and wedding photos and keeps you relaxed and laughing. None of her photos feel posed - it really is a genuine expression of love. We especially loved the warm and cozy feel that her photos have, especially with the trend of overexposed-looking photos that are popular right now for weddings, it was important to have someone who has her own style. If you hire Shelby, you will not be disappointed!

The best!!!
Honestly I don't even need to write a review for Shelby's work...the photos speak for themselves. However, it was the absolutely BEST working with her. Trust me, I did my research. She was the 50th, yes 50th, wedding photographer I reached out to and I think that speaks enough about her!
Not only did we hit it off right away, but I feel like I have found a forever friend in her. The pictures, the experience, the extras she gave us after the wedding? It was all perfect. Even today, more than 6 months after the wedding, I need her help with touching up a photo or editing a little something here or there, she is 100% willing to help.
If you have the chance to work with her, I HIGHLY suggest it. You will be very happy with the end results!

Looking at Shelby’s work alone grants her more than 5 stars. She is incredibly professional and a master of her art. For our wedding she was very easy to get ahold of whenever needed, she showed up to the venue the night before during rehearsal to scope it out and make a game plan for the following day, and the entire bridal party had so much fun with her! Only 3 days after the wedding, we had an album full of teaser photos from her! I can’t speak highly enough of her. Thank you so much Shelby!

Danielle,
Thank you so much!! I had so much fun getting to know you and Jason throughout the planning process and through the big day. You two were so much fun and so were your family and friends! I don't think I have laughed that hard at a wedding in awhile, thanks for making my job a dream!
I love working with Shelby of Shelby Chari Photography, she offers other professionals (working with her on the big day) her client's timeline and helps everyone stay on time. I have worked on many weddings and other assignments with Shelby, I would recommend her to everyone!
