Hello, I'm Shelby
Portrait Commercial Photographer based in washington, d.c.
Shelby is a self-taught photographer who began her journey at age 16, with over 7 years of experience and a growing interest in videography. Driven by a passion for discovering and highlighting what makes each individual unique, she strives to create visual poetry by capturing authentic expressions and natural movement. Known for her ethereal, editorial style and strong emphasis on mood and atmosphere, Shelby specializes in portrait, headshot, beauty, fashion, lifestyle, and commercial photography.
Since moving to the east coast in 2022, Shelby has refined her craft within the local creative community. Outside of her work, she enjoys listening to music, crafting, spending time in nature, and connecting with others in the community.
Photography, to me, is a way of contributing something real to the people and businesses I work with. Every headshot, portrait, or brand photo is a chance to help someone put their most authentic self forward. Whether that's a person finding confidence in front of the camera, or a company wanting their work to feel natural and authentic.
I'm especially passionate about working with brands that share that same commitment to authenticity, eco-conscious businesses, LGBTQIA+-owned companies, women-led startups, diverse fashion labels, and beauty brands that prioritize inclusion. I enjoy taking the time to understand brands values, so I can reflect them back through my lens. In the end, my work is my way of giving back by helping people and brands be seen, understood, and remembered.
