Portland Photographer

CAPTURING WEDDINGS, FAMILIES AND SENIORS THROUGH

SOULFUL & POETIC PHOTOGRAPHY

“You'll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips, airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs, but people more than anything else, you will need other people and you will need to be that other person to someone else, a living breathing screaming invitation to believe better things”.

—J. Tworkowski

SAY HELLO!

“…SHELBY CAPTURES THE SOUL AND THE ESSENCE OF PEOPLE AND MOMENTS —EXPERIENCE ALONE DOES NOT PRODUCE SUCH RESULTS; SHE IS A GREAT PORTLAND PHOTOGRAPHER BECAUSE SHE IS A WONDERFUL AND SENSITIVE SOUL THAT CONNECTS WITH PEOPLE. THERE IS POETRY IN HER SHOTS.”

— JARED + LUIGI

I’M SHELBY AND I’M SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE!

i am a storyteller, an observer, a documenter, an artist and a mama to two children who are now bigger/funnier than me. when i’m not wandering around the PNW, shooting big, joyous wedding celebrations or quiet newborn sessions, i can be found counting blossoms around my NE Portland neighborhood. I believe that beauty lies in imperfection, that staying curious is the key to life.

P.S. I would love to tell your story
