Hey ya’ll!

I'm Shelby!

I’ve been a photographer for over 8 years now. When I was younger, I had one of those little pink Coolpix cameras that I carried around absolutely EVERYWHERE. I think back now and realize how much I truly loved being behind the camera, and still do to this day.

It’s not only my passion to make art, produce imagery, and run a business — but it’s also a thousand times better that I get to meet such amazing people and help create memories with them. Never in my wildest dreams did I think, looking back with my little pink camera, that I would be where I am today, but I am SO grateful.

 First off, I am so glad you're here!

You’re now (hopefully!) convinced that a photo session can be fun, beautiful, and even easy — but now you may be wondering who is going to be taking these photos. 

My business is geared towards fun and adventurous couples, seniors, and close-knit families. I’m based out of Maryland, but I branch into North Carolina as well! 

I specialize in wedding and portrait lifestyle photography. (a one-liner, fun quirk that makes you, you)

WHAT DO I DO?

in my late twenties, along with my best friend and husband, Hunter, to whom I have been with for 10+ years. We got married on October 1st, 2022! Last year we finished our dream home on my grandparents' farm, and it’s been such an amazing experience.

I'm currently living my best life 

The Deets

I also love spending time with my favorite people, binge watching Netflix and Disney+, and hanging with my pup!
I love everything about summer (You can never go wrong with a good boat day. If you haven't seen an Eastern Shore sunset you are missing out!), although my favorite holiday is without a doubt Christmas. I am one of those over the top gifters who loves to do all the traditional festive things like baking cookies, decorating the tree, and watching Christmas movies over and over again.
(The Grinch is my all time fave!)

Target & pizza, I’m your gal. 

If you love

No. 1 

I have a little 5 pound fur baby named Coy who is just the sweetest thing! He’s a Teacup Yorkie and literally the most adorable thing on the planet.
You may see or hear about him if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook! 

I love to spend my free time with my family, husband and of course my friends. Now that I am officially full time with photography most of my time is spent editing or shooting, but when I can I make sure to prioritize my people.

No. 2 

My all time favorite food is pizza! In case you were wondering, yes, pineapple goes on pizza. I said what I said! My other favorites are sushi and brunch foods! I am always down for a good brunch! 

No. 3 

Recently I have started reading again. I haven't read in years but started back up on the flight to my bachelorette trip in summer of 2022 and haven't stopped since! BIG KINDLE GIRLIE OVER HERE! Never in my life did I think I would be the girl that listens to podcasts or audiobooks on long drives, but here I am. I freaking love them! 

No. 4

Target and Home Goods is where my heart is. Shopping for your home is just the greatest thing, and you can’t tell me otherwise — ESPECIALLY around Christmas! So much goodness! 

No. 5 

Fun Facts

Holy cow… you really just read all of that about ME!

Thank you so much for taking that time to get to know the girl behind the camera.

I'm stinkin' happy you are even here!

I was a senior rep for her program and couldn’t recommend her enough. Shelby is fun, caring, and takes the most amazing photos.

-M

Shelby did our engagement/wedding pictures, and they are BEAUTIFUL! Everyone I share the pictures with are in awe of how amazing they are! We can’t wait for her to capture the rest of our big life moments.

Shelby is super easygoing and made us feel so comfortable! She never ran out of ideas during our shoot! I would 100% recommend her.

My boyfriend and I were nervous about getting professional photos done since we both aren’t fans of the camera, but Shelby made our experience an absolute blast! I couldn’t recommend her enough!
