Hi there, I'm Shelby!


I'm a self-taught photographer based in Birmingham, Alabama. What started as a side hustle in 2016 has blossomed into an incredible journey, taking me across the United States to capture countless beautiful moments. It's been an amazing experience, and I love every minute of it.


I've been happily married to my husband, Austin, since 2014. We have two wonderful children, Dallas and Charlie. I'm passionate about pasta and pizza and love a good Spotify playlist. In addition to photography, I enjoy spending time with my family, going to the gym, hiking outdoors, and traveling.

Photography has always held a special place in my heart.


As a little girl, I remember my grandfather carrying his film Canon Sure Shot everywhere we went. That precious man had a passion for capturing moments—seriously, anything. From our fishing trips to family reunions, and my absolute favorite, the candid Christmas mornings.


Thanks to him, I have a treasure trove of documented memories that I will cherish forever. His love for photography deeply influenced my own, and I'm incredibly grateful for the legacy he left behind.


I look forward to bringing the same passion and dedication to capturing your special moments. If you have any questions or would like to book a session, please feel free to reach out. I can’t wait to work with you.
