Hi, I’m Shelby!

I’m a Richmond & Charlottesville engagement and wedding photographer that’s passionate about celebrating and capturing love stories through timeless imagery.

I started photography to simply capture my own memories. With the birth of my first son, I knew the moments were fleeting, and I never wanted to forget a detail.

But in 2016, I took my heart for serving others and my passion for photography and created the best career: walking with couples through the most exciting season of their lives and capturing the joy and emotion of their engagement and wedding day.

I’ve had the honor to document over 100 love stories, and I would be honored to celebrate your love next.

LET'S COnNECT:

01

FLOWERS

Fresh anemones and peonies are my favs.

02

DECORATING

I’ve got a new house to fill.

It’s an instant mood booster!

NETFLIX

Can’t stop, won’t stop binging Grey’s.

my all-time favs:

BTS of SDP

My favorite titles include: wife, boy mom, dog mom, and friend.

When I’m not fluffing dresses or editing photos, you can find me armed with an iced coffee and strolling through the isles of Target.

Because my boys keep me busy, I’ve learned to be intentional about the fleeting moments of motherhood. I’ve learned to cherish every day, look for the good in every situation, and find purpose in the ordinary. At the end of the day, I want to be known for my heart for Jesus, my family, and others – just like you!

Next Steps:

Celebrate your love with candid wedding photography.
