I will never not attempt to catch a stray pet and get it to safety.

My husband and I both love to ocean flats fly fish. I introduced him to fly fishing, everyone assumes it's the other way around.

I was a bartender for 20 years. Behind the bar is where I found my voice and  learned to say "no".

My other passion is gardening and macro photography.

My nickname is Bub and my son has called me Bub instead of Mom since he was very little. I also call him Bub, it's a real "aloha" situation.

Shelley did an AMAZING job on my daughter’s pictures! I was beyond impressed with them. They are my favorite pictures that I have EVER had taken of my daughter. Not only was she very professional and flexible, but she was so kind to my daughter, and my daughter even told me she had the most fun time taking those pictures. Even on the ride home from the photo shoot, my daughter kept saying how nice Shelley was. We will definitely use Shelley again in the future. THANK YOU again Shelley!

Shelly is not only incredibly talented but also so much fun to work with. Her creative energy is contagious, and it really shows in her work. My girls are on the shy side and Shelly made them feel so comfortable, they ended up having the best time.
Whether in her studio or out and about in Fort Collins, Shelley knows how to capture the perfect shot, the perfect light, all of it. The photos she created for me exceeded all expectations - they are absolutely stunning!
If you're looking for a photographer who is not only skilled but so enjoyable to work with, look no further than Shelley. So grateful!!

Shelley is not only incredibly talented  but also so much fun...

My 15 years of experience behind the camera have helped me develop my unique sensibility and style. I’ve photographed countless individuals and families, and I’ve even been published in magazines like Click.
But what really sets me apart is my ability to see people. With my fine art portraits, I capture the very essence of each of my subjects, giving the people that work with me a unique opportunity to understand themselves or their loved ones in a new way. Plus, you get a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind piece of art for your walls.
