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.
