Where Comfort Meets Candid Photography

 

 

 

I’m so dang stoked you’re here. I’m a Red Bull–loving, travel-chasing lifestyle, couples, and wedding photographer with a heart for capturing real, unposed, in-the-moment memories. My style blends candid and documentary — never forced, always genuine — so your photos feel as effortless as the moments themselves.


But I’m here for more than pretty photos. My mission is to create a space where you feel comfortable enough to be fully yourself — like you’re hanging out with a friend who just happens to have a camera in hand. I believe the best images come from real connection, so I’ll be there to fix your dress, calm your nerves, scout the perfect light, and hype you up when you need it most.


Let’s capture those milestone moments in a way that feels real, natural, and unforgettable.

Meet Shelby

 

Hey Ya'll im Shelby- Your hype girl + third wheel + built-in bestie behind the lens. I blend candid and documentary styles so your photos feel natural, effortless, and totally you.

I’m not just here to take photos — I’m here to connect. I’ll fix your dress, calm your nerves, scout the good light, and make sure your experience feels like hanging out with a friend (who just happens to be really good with a camera).

From the loud laughter to the quiet in-between moments, I’ll be there capturing your story as it naturally unfolds — relaxed, genuine, and unforgettable.

Let’s document the moments that matter most.

"Shelby was hands down the best!


"Shelby was hands down the best! She went above & beyond to make sure my wedding was captured perfectly & exceeded my expectations! From hiking some steep trails to having our ceremony on the beach, we definitely put in some steps but the energy was still amazing from Shelby & her assistant. We felt so comfortable & relaxed the entire time & it couldn’t have went any smoother. Such a sweet, down to earth type of gal! I wish I lived closer so I could book Shelby more!"

"Shelby was wonderful all around"


"Shelby was wonderful all around. From the start, we felt an immediate connection and friendly energy when getting to know each other. Shelby was incredibly receptive, easy to work with, and transparent about her operation. I can’t say enough about how gracious and easy going things felt on the wedding day with her around; setting up shots and gathering family was a breeze and she was very cheerful and fun to be around which created a very organic environment for great photos. Would recommend again in a heartbeat and will be showing off our photos to friends and family for years to come!"

"We had the best experience with Shelby!"

"We had the best experience with Shelby! she took both our engagement and wedding photos, and we couldn't be more happy with the results. The photos and videos turned out beautiful! we appreciated her making us feel so comfortable and guiding us. Her professionalism really stood out to us - she has excellent communication, she's very knowledgeable about her work, and we felt 100% confident that we could count on her on such an important day in our lives. above all, Shelby is such a sweet and positive person to be around, and we are so grateful to have had her by our side on our wedding day!"
