About Shelby
The Artist
Simply put, I have always known deep down I would be a photographer. I was such visual learner from a young age - I feel like on some level, it was the path I was chosen for in this life. I started taking pictures when I was 12- and I never stopped. Weddings became my entire life back in 2016. I began second and associate shooting for other photographers, and I never looked back. I think like most, I was initially afraid to fail and hesitated going out on my own. In 2020, I officially started my own business and now, I have photographed more than 300 weddings since I started. I have travelled to many different states to photograph weddings including Montana, Utah, Arizona, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and Alabama. I don’t know if I could ever walk away from it now.
Some fun facts about me - before I stated photographing weddings, I was a professional cheerleader for the NBA with the Detroit Piston’s- I grew up in Michigan. I moved to Charleston in 2013, met my now husband when we were both working at a cheer gym and now, the rest is history. We got married in Charleston in 2022 and have 2 corgi’s, they are the two “employee’s” I have. But, in reality they just request treats and walks during business hours. I am a lover of the outdoors- I usually go to at least 2-3 national parks out west each year to hike - most recently, I made the hike up to the top of Angels Landing in Zion NP. If you are a lover of Tecovas cowgirl boots- we are definitely meant to be connected in this life ( I won’t tell your fiancé how many boots you have if you don’t tell my husband how many I have.) Country is always on my radio and jeans are a staple in wardrobe. I am very laid back and believe in the mindset of community over competition- I want everyone who walks into my life to know that you will always have a seat at my table- I believe in making everyone feel welcomed and included.
