Hello, I'm shelby
self taught Photographer
Hi there! I’m 22 years old and grew up just 30 minutes outside of Springfield, MO. My mom was an incredible role model—she worked tirelessly but always made time for the things she loved. After she passed away, I really threw myself into photography, a passion she always encouraged and knew I’d excel at.
I absolutely LOVE spending time outdoors, whether it's hiking, cuddling with my pets, or enjoying precious moments with my family. And of course, capturing these moments through my lens is what truly brings me joy. My dream is to keep chasing this passion and create beautiful photos that help people hold onto their cherished memories forever.
When you book a session with me, it’s not just about taking photos—it’s about capturing the real, raw moments that mean the most to you. Whether it’s laughter, tears, or those little in-between moments, I’ll be there to catch it all while we have fun together. My goal is for you to look back on these memories and feel every emotion, just as you did in the moment.

My approach
 
I believe the best photos come from genuine connection and real emotion. I take a relaxed, intentional approach—creating a space where you feel comfortable just being yourself. Whether we're out in nature or somewhere meaningful to you, I’ll gently guide you while letting the natural moments unfold. My goal is to capture the honesty in your story—the laughter, the quiet glances, the chaos, and the calm—so you walk away with more than just pretty pictures… you leave with memories you can feel.
