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.

I'm Shelby!

I’m inspired by the Arizona desert, vibrant colors, and people who love out loud.

Darian + Weston // Salt River Engagment

You can’t really ever go wrong with a white dress and the desert sun. The Salt River is one of my favorite places to shoot. Darian and Weston are the sweetest couple, they kept each other laughing the entire session. I can’t wait for their big day in January 2016! Check them out!
