Hi there, I'm Shelby!


I'm a self-taught photographer based in Birmingham, Alabama. I started my photography business in 2016 as a little side hustle, not fully realizing the incredible journey it would take me on. Since then, I've had the joy of traveling all over the United States, capturing countless sweet moments. It truly is the best.


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'm always diving into house projects. Whether it's repainting walls or installing a new light fixture, these small tasks bring me immense joy.

Describe your perfect day: Waking up and getting a morning run in, followed by a beach day with the family

and then for dinner we grab a pizza and have a picnic on the beach. Simple but perfect.



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!
