PORTRAITS that fill your walls for YEARS
Regardless of the season that you're in, and whether your babies are big or small, this time in your life deserves to be captured by something other than your iPhone.
I love creating photos to remind families that in spite of the fact that the car of their floor is covered in cereal, their laundry room looks like an episode of hoarders and mom and dad are in a permanent state of exhaustion, their love and their story are beautiful.
So let's plan a day, pick a location that is meaningful to you and create a slew of images that will fill up your heart and the frames on your walls for years to come.
Everything you need to know about family portrait sessions
I'm a big believer that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: fifteen years ago, if we had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries we deliver will eventually fade away.
But prints? Those last. I bet your family still has images from your grandparents (maybe even great grandparents.) And that was likely from a time period when cameras were expensive and prints were harder to come by.

Shelley did an AMAZING job on my daughter’s pictures! I was beyond impressed with them. 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!
"They are my favorite pictures that I have EVER had taken of my daughter.."

Shelley is amazing at making you feel comfortable and like long term friends during the session! Our toddler was a bit tired and she worked so well with us and didn’t rush us. Loved our experience and will definitely be back for more photos! All of our gallery is absolutely stunning.
"She is patient, funny and kind!"

Before I ever take the first picture, we’ll meet either in person or on zoom to go over your goals and questions. This is when we'll begin to formulate your ideas for wall art in your home and start preplanning wardrobe.
I will follow up with a check-in consultation just prior to our shoot date to tighten up any loose ends.

This is when the magic happens. Together we've prepared for this day so you can come in relaxed and ready. Shoots can take as little as 30 minutes and 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 and we can keep going as long as everyone is happy to do so.
