Shelby

XO,

I want to start of by thanking you for making it this far into my website and taking the time to get to know a bit about the hot mess behind the camera! I am a wife and a mom to the best boys in the world (seriously I don’t shut up about them), we live in Clayton, North Carolina but i work in the Raleigh/ Fayetteville and Charlotte areas! Things you should know about me...i love Tiktok, it has taught me more than college. I am very openly opinionated and passionate about loving humans. My life, my business and my home are all safe spaces. I watch too much Judge Judy when i edit and i love my clients so so much. I have always dreamed about having a career and doing something that allowed me to create and be myself. I found that in photography, not only did I find my path I found a purpose I didn’t know I needed.

By the Numbers

My philosophy is to capture moments that mean the most. Documenting you and your loves laughter, smiles, embraces and energy is what I strive to do every day. Timeless memories you can look back on for years and still love. The smile at me photos are great, and don't worry we will do those but I crave the moments where my clients are just emerged in their own chaos. Running around, jumping on each-other, dancing with each-other or just holding hands looking at each-other are the moments I love to capture for my couples the most!What I have curated in my wedding photography style is so special to me, I have a directive approach, I am very hands-on with my couples... I love capturing the candid, playful moments with a mix of modern + editorial.Picking your photographer is more than just loving their work. It is so important to choose someone whose style and aesthetics match your wedding theme but also someone who has an energy that makes you feel confident and comfortable.

My Philospophy

MY FAVORITE THINGS

Nothing beats hanging out with my favorite people, We love to go to the beach, we play to much switch, we bake alot of cookies in hopes of making a good batch and it always the best time. 

Hanging Out With My Boys

Have you seen that tik - tok that says "I want to sit down at a good restaurant, okay? I want a fat margarita, okay? And I want my friend to look me in the eye and tell me the something so scandalous that my jaw is on the floor." 
Well thats my ideal night.

Mexican Food and Margaritas

I am from Arizona, meaning I was not at the beach much, my fun was trying to get stabbed by cactus in 105 degree weather... so now that I live 1 hr from the beach I force my friends and family there a couple times a week during the summer!

My goal is always to leave a session or wedding having made a lifelong friend, and my hope is my clients feel the same. Its so much more than a job to me, this is my passion, and i put my whole heart into curating the very best experience for you! So if you are looking for a photographer but also a hype woman and friend than you are in the right place!
