My approach to photography is simple and non-invasive. Giving you the freedom to be yourselves, while also providing guidance along the way.
My goal is to deliver a gallery that you can look back on and feel every emotion. I believe images that tell a story are more powerful than the perfect ones.
There’s no need for perfect poses, perfect weather, perfect outfits, or a perfect location to capture a memory. It’s about a snapshot in time - those photos that allow you to hold a feeling in your hands.
"Shelby made us feel so comfortable and led us in what to do. Nothing felt staged or “posed”, felt very natural and fun. We were hoping for at least 5 photos we both enjoyed, but we both love every single photo. I couldn’t recommend Shelby enough!"

It's not just about showing up for updated photos. We’ll get together, create moodboards, and plan the session story prior to our date. We can go out for a drink, get a bite to eat, hang out at your home, or have a picnic at the park you love visiting… it can go in so many different directions! Your story is unique and you deserve photos that capture the essence of who you are. Helping you plan is my favorite part, so I’ll be here to assist in every step of the way.
I'll guide you when necessary by providing general prompts to help you get comfortable (no need to worry about what to do with your hands), but mostly we’ll just hang out and let the magic happen. The guide included in my packages go over everything you need to know on how to prepare for our time together!
My turn around time for when you receive your final gallery is 3-4 weeks.
Yes!! Film is included in my two hour package, but can be added on to a one hour session as well :)
We’ll get together and figure out how we can tell your story as authentically as possible. I send over a Session Guide after booking to help get your creative juices flowin’. This is full of advice about outfits, getting in the right mindset, how to plan a storytelling session, location recommendations, and more!
Yes, and I love it!! Travel is included in the package price if the distance to the location is within a 40 mile radius from where I'm based in Southwest Florida. If farther, a travel fee will apply to cover time and fuel.
No, I do not deliver RAW files under any circumstance. All of your images will be delivered in a high quality format using my current editing style. If you don’t love a photographer’s editing style, you should probably look for someone with a similar taste to yours!! My style is very true to color, natural, and nostalgic.
Yes, a print release is included in every gallery so you can print as many high-res photos as you’d like! The gallery delivery service that I use has its own online store that you can order high quality prints from!
