Hey, I’m Shelby! A family photographer, toddler mom, and expert in capturing the perfectly imperfect moments that make family life so special. I know firsthand how stressful it can feel to plan family photos—the outfits, the wrangling, the will they even look at the camera?! moments. Trust me, I’ve been there! I take photos with my own little one multiple times a year, and through trial and error (and a lot of patience!), I’ve figured out what works.

That’s why my sessions are low-stress, fun, and built around movement and connection—because kids don’t love standing still, and let’s be honest, most parents don’t either! Instead of forcing stiff poses, I’ll guide you through natural interactions—games, snuggles, and real laughs—so you walk away with photos that actually feel like you. The best part? You don’t have to stress about making your kids behave perfectly—I’ve got it handled.

So let’s run, play, and make some magic—because the best family photos aren’t just about how you look, they’re about how you feel in the moment."
