It's so good to meet you.
I'm Shelby! You're probably here because you're in love, and I would love to tell your story.
My husband and I live on a farm in the center of Kansas. It's a slow, sweet life, and we really cherish it. When I’m not behind the camera, you can either find me at the gym or with my dog, listening to Fleetwood Mac and Zach Bryan on repeat, and probably daydreaming. The little things mean a lot to me. So do dogs, being outside, and having space to move and create. If you love these things too, let’s be friends.
I have to thank my dad; it started with his old camera, his encouragement and a roll of film in 2002. I was 10.
And I had no idea what I was doing. But he told me to give it a try.
Some of my favorite memories from growing up are going to the film lab with my grandpa. I think what I love so much about how they approached photography is how ordinary it was.
Just a simple camera, no fancy lenses or gear, capturing simple moments. I’m guilty of it myself, but I think sometimes with all we have today, we dismiss the ordinary. We want the perfect shot, the perfect lighting, the perfect setting; and of course, there's a place for all of that, too.
Perfect images are a gift to have. But I think documenting the ordinary in an artful and intentional way is truly beautiful.

If your vibe is fun with a side of intentionality, I’m your girl.
I feel so lucky to be able to do this for a living, to serve the sweet people I get to serve, and to see the beautiful places I’ve gotten to see.
I would love to document your love story, and I hope I’ll get to hear all about it soon!
