But the headshots you’ve typically seen floating around the interwebs are either:
1) ‘Cookie-Cutter’ headshots that give you déjà vu (because you’ve seen those stiff poses 300x before), or
2) ‘Dull + Boring’ headshots that have you wondering where their personality (& the light in their eyes) went.
Yikes. Now let’s see what’s behind door number 3…
✔️ have the perfect blend of professional-meets-authentic (because your photographer is ridiculously experienced and knows how to make you feel completely at ease in front of the camera)
✔️ you’re proud to post everywhere from your LinkedIn profile pic to the About Page on your website (grey placeholder avatar begone!)
✔️ give you ridiculous levels of confidence because your photos feel like YOU (which is exactly what you want from a headshot), & you know you’ll be taken seriously
✔️ are unique, attention grabbing, and have your competition taking notes
“I was BLOWN AWAY by Shelley's ability to capture the best version of me. My headshots turned out so beautifully!
Shelley is absolutely amazing and SUCH a pleasure to work with. She makes you feel at ease in front of the camera so that she can capture the best, most authentic ‘you’.
Shelley is low-key, but professional, kind and funny. She made me laugh so much during our session that I forgot to be uptight!”
Not your average wham-bam-thankyou-ma'am headshots.
Headshot sessions are relaxed, fun, & custom-fitted to you and your brand like a perfectly tailored Armani power suit.
Imagine finally having professional photos you’re proud to share, & that instantly bring your brand to life in the way it deserves.
(don’t worry, I’ve thought of everything):

for me to get these headshots done. My self image has always been antithetical to what I actually look like. It's basically impossible for me to see myself (physically) for who I actually am. These photos made all the difference. I had so much fun in this session and I'm obsessed with the collection of shots I now have.

inquire & BOOK
01
Prior to your session, we’ll meet in person/or on Zoom, and have a relaxed chat about your vision for your session to ensure it is tailored to your desires.
We'll chat ideas for wall art in your home, and you can choose from my collection of elegant, classic dresses–we can even chat styling tips/hair/makeup to ensure you feel confident and beautiful. I’ll follow up with a check-in just prior to our shoot date to tighten up any loose ends.
PERSONALIZED planning
02
This is when the magic happens! Together we've prepared for this day so you can come in relaxed and ready. Sessions can take as little as 30 minutes, or can last a little over an hour. I do not work on a time frame basis, we can be done when your child is done, or we can keep going as long as everyone is happy to do so.
SESSION DAY
03
After your photo shoot, I’ll curate and hand edit your photos. When I’m done, I’ll reach out to you via email to schedule your reveal appointment.
EDITING
04
Get excited! We'll meet back at my studio for you to view your photos and make final decisions about gorgeous artwork for your home. This is when you will place your order. I will guide you through the entire process and help you make decisions.
the BIG DAY
05
Let’s be real though — getting photos of yourself (with no kid/colleague/dog to hide behind) can be intimidating.
But I’m here to promise you:
1) I pour a lot of care and intention into every client and every session, taking the time to genuinely tailor my art to your brand in a way that’s unmistakably you…and
2) I’ve been doing this gig so long that I can create a session that’s so chill you’ll forget to be nervous (no awkward 'what do I do with my hands?' moments).
These aren’t your ex-boss’s LinkedIn shots, or the usual Fort Collins headshots.
Which means I can only take on a limited number of sessions each month—and spots usually fill quickly.
I definitely recommend booking in as early as possible to avoid missing out.
-DR. KATIE HOLZWORTH
She is SO very talented and loves what she does! Her joy and passion for photography shines through her photos. I would recommend Shelley to everyone!!”

QUESTIONS
Booking is easy and straightforward. You can instant book a date on my calendar that works for you or inquire about a date you don't see on my calendar.
Once you reach out, I’ll guide you through the next steps, including scheduling, the session fee, and prep details.
A signed contract and retainer officially hold your spot—and then we get to the fun part.
You’ll receive a curated selection of finished images to choose from, so you’re not stuck with one “okay” option.
Headshot Sessions include 5 images and Branding Sessions include 20 images.
You can always add on more images. How many you go home with is totally up to you. Variety matters—different expressions, subtle changes, real choices.
Because your headshot should work hard for you… and you deserve options.
How do I book, and what’s required to reserve my session?
How many final images will I receive?
Yes—but in a you, on your best day kind of way.
I retouch thoughtfully and naturally: smoothing skin, softening distractions, and polishing without erasing what makes you you. No plastic skin. No overdone edits. No surprise face you don’t recognize.
You’ll still look like yourself—just very well-rested.
One hundred percent—this is the whole point.
Your headshots should say something about who you are, not just what you do. Whether your brand is bold, soft, creative, grounded, or quietly powerful, we’ll build images that feel aligned and authentic.
Professional doesn’t have to mean boring. Promise.
Do you retouch the images?
Can my headshots reflect my personality, not just my profession?
Yes. Please do not stress-spiral alone in your closet.
You’ll receive wardrobe guidance ahead of time, and I’m always happy to weigh in if you want to send photos or talk options through. We’ll choose pieces that photograph beautifully, feel like you, and work across platforms.
Stylish, effortless, and very “this feels right.”
Nearly every single client says this.
And nearly every single client leaves saying, “I can’t believe that’s me.”
Being photogenic isn’t about genetics—it’s about lighting, guidance, timing, and feeling comfortable. When you feel seen and supported, it shows.
Spoiler alert: you already look great. I just know how to prove it.
Do you help me decide what to wear?
What if I don’t feel very photogenic?
Absolutely. In fact, that’s kind of my thing.
You don’t need to know what to do with your hands, your face, or your body—I’ll guide you through everything. We’ll move, laugh, reset, and take breaks when needed. No frozen smiles. No weird angles. No wondering if you’re doing it wrong.
You just show up. I’ve got the rest.
I’m awkward in front of the camera—will you help me with posing and expression?
