hi, i’m shelby! i’m an inclusive photographer, actor, and equestrian based out of manhattan with a bfa in drama from nyu’s tisch school of the arts with a minor in child and adolescent mental health studies.
the most important thing to me when i’m working with anybody (weddings, engagements, horses, dogs… you name it!) is that my client is comfortable and able to be themselves in front of the camera. i like to believe i’ve become an expert at minimizing the presence of the camera and giving my clients the space to relax and enjoy themselves. most of my clients start off with “i’m really awkward,” and i always assure them (you) not to worry, because the more present you are able to be, and the more comfortable you become with discomfort, the more you will shine through the camera.
i believe in not having a client-photographer relationship while i shoot, but rather a relationship between people who are all there to achieve the same goal: capturing a relationship, personality, and life. whether it’s a summer outdoor ceremony or a rustic winter wedding, i adapt to the environment to make your special day look as magical as it feels.

Shelby was very communicative and responsive and it was easy scheduling a date for our engagement photo shoot with her. I was very happy with how the photos turned out and she did a great job encouraging us to try different poses and moving to different spots in the location we had chosen. I would highly recommend hiring her!

Engagement Photos
To be honest, I didn’t want anything elaborate for our engagement photos. I knew I would be spending a lot of money elsewhere on our wedding. I decided to check out Instagram to find someone local and Shelby was the perfect find! She exceeded our expectations by far. She knew all the best iconic spots in Dumbo. I was really nervous about the weather but she was consistently responsive and we decided to keep our original scheduled date. As soon as we started we saw the rain clouds starting to come. But she took us to about 5 of the best spots all within an hour and a half and we just missed the rain! My fiancé and I aren’t really camera people but she made us feel so comfortable from the second we met her. Got all our photos very fast and she was reasonbily priced. Would definitely recommend!

Shelby is so much more than a photographer...
You just don't have a professional 'service' situation with Shelby; you have a relationship. She takes the time to get to know and understanding you, what brings you joy and how best to share this with the world. Her enthusiasm for capturing the moment made us so relaxed and as such, we now have memories that are a true reflection of who we are. Thank you so much Shelby.
