Experience
Working with Shelly
A Timeless Passion, Honed Through the Years
With over 20 years behind the lens and five years as a full-time professional, photography has been more than a career—it’s been a lifelong love affair. What began as a creative outlet has evolved into a deeply rooted passion for capturing the raw, beautiful essence of human connection. Specializing in weddings, elopements, and engagements, I’ve found my true calling in telling love stories through timeless, true-to-life imagery. There is something profoundly meaningful about freezing those fleeting, emotion-filled moments—and knowing they’ll be cherished for generations to come.

FAQ
01. How do we book you for the wedding?
I believe the best photos start with a genuine connection—so before anything else, I love to meet over coffee (or virtually!) to get to know each other and chat about your vision for the day. If it feels like a great fit, I’ll set you up with your own personalized client portal where you’ll find everything you need to book: the contract, invoice, and all the important details in one easy place. From there, we’re officially on this journey together—and I couldn’t be more excited!
02. Do you travel for destination weddings?
Absolutely—I love traveling for weddings! Whether you're saying "I do" in the mountains, by the ocean, or somewhere across the globe, I’m always up for an adventure. Capturing love in beautiful, meaningful places is one of my favorite parts of this job. If you're planning a destination wedding or elopement, let’s chat about the details—I’d be honored to come along and document every moment.
03. How do you handle family photos on the wedding day?
Family photos are an important part of your day, and I’m here to make sure they’re organized, efficient, and stress-free. A few weeks before your wedding, I’ll ask you to create a family photo shot list—this helps us stay on track, avoid any confusion, and make sure no one special is missed. With a clear plan in place, we can move through these portraits quickly, giving you more time to enjoy the celebration. I’ll guide everyone with calm, confident direction so all you have to do is smile and soak in the moment.
04. Do you offer engagement sessions?
I do offer engagement sessions. Both my 6, and 8 hour packages include an engagement session so we can get to know each other before your big day. This also helps you to feel comfortable in front of the camera.
I also offer engagement sessions separate from my packages.
