Get to know me
Hey, I’m Shelley — the one behind the camera with the easy, friendly banter that somehow makes you feel completely at ease. I have this quiet gift for helping people drop their guard and just be. So many start out feeling a little unsure, and before long they’re glowing ~ wild hair, bare skin, and that beautiful realness shining through.
I’m endlessly drawn to womanhood and raw love moment ~ the raw, messy, beautiful connections that make life what it is, in that moment. Whether it’s a mama-to-be, a family in their everyday chaos, or a couple caught up in the joy of their love story, I’m there for the unposed and the in-between. The belly laughs, the tears, the sneaky glances ~ all those fleeting moments that tell the real story.
For me, photography isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence ~ capturing the energy of the moment, the love that lingers, and the magic you might have missed while living it.
Love notes from the hearts we’ve captured
“Shelley made me feel so beautiful and comfortable in my raw postpartum mess of milk, sleepless nights and squishy cuddles. Forever thankful I went out of my comfort zone to have this season captured in all its raw authentic beauty by Shelley!”
“Shelley’s ability to capture the essence of our day was nothing short of magical. Each photograph tells a story, and as we look through them, we find ourselves transported back to all of the emotions that filled our special day. Shelleys attention to detail is unparalleled, and it’s evident that she possesses a keen eye for those candid, intimate moments that often go unnoticed.”
“Our creative shoot with Shelley was life changing! As women aged between 22 to 56 each in a difference stage of womanhood we all felt so comfortable and beautiful in our skin. She captured the essence of womanhood in all its raw beauty. Can’t wait for another creative session, Shelley is a F***ing legend.”
