Behind the Lens

Meet Shelby

 

 

Based in Des Moines, Iowa photographing wedding, seniors, couples, and families since 2016.

 

 

Warm, natural, and emotive style. Use of natural light and rich, earthy tones. Giving timeless and heartfelt images.

 

A bit about me

 

I believe photography is more than just beautiful pictures—it’s about capturing real, unfiltered moments that make your story unique. Whether it’s the quiet in-between glances, the belly laughs, or the way your loved ones hold you close, I’m here to preserve those feelings in a way that feels natural, emotional, and timeless.


With a passion for documenting life in all its forms—whether it’s weddings, families, or seniors stepping into a new chapter—I create a space where you can simply be you. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just genuine connections and moments that will bring you right back to how it felt.


When I’m not behind the camera, you can probably find me spending the day outside with my fur babies, traveling with my soon to be husband, or just drinking an iced coffee and relaxing. I’d love to hear your story and create something beautiful together!


Let’s make some magic—reach out, and let’s start planning your session!
