Families | Page 2 | Shelby Lea Photography

A camera’s been basically glued to my hands since childhood. I didn’t fall in love with photography because of the technical stuff, but because of the way it can make someone light up when they see themselves. That’s what I want for you: to feel beautiful and confident in front of my lens.

It’s a pretty good deal that all of Colbe’s best friends are marrying awesome girls I get to hangout with! This year we decided that they probably needed some pictures and Sunrise ended up […]
