moments

Everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or rocking your worn-in Docs for the Senior photoshoot you've been planning since Freshman year, let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

I'm all about having a good time while shooting and love working with clients that bring the same energy. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm spending time with my hubby and lil' man, J.R. They're the reason I'm obsessed with documenting life's moments, because things just move too damn fast and I want to remember everything.

Fun fact about me? I'm a master mixologist. On a night off, you'll find me slinging restaurant-quality cocktails at home. And none of that pre-made stuff (looking at you, Jose Cuervo), we're all about quality in the Shelton household.

I like to say I'm a baddie that knows when to shop at TJ Maxx. A little Nordstrom, a little Target. Life is all about balance, right? While I'm a fan of a good sale, I know when it's important to invest in a quality product (*hint* like investing in a good photographer).

Kind of a bold statement, I know, but I felt like our personalities were totally missing from the pictures. On a day filled with the highest of emotions, the pictures just fell flat. Definitely a bummer, but it's one of the reasons I got into photography. I want my clients to see their photos and think, "wow, these are so ME."

the best day of your life + photos to match

Every wedding package kicks off with an engagement shoot to get a chance to meet one another first. I think it’s a bad start to the relationship if we meet at the altar, if you know what I mean. From there we'll create a vision for you wedding day imagery, I’ll make some jokes, you’ll laugh, and the rest is history. I'm the best third wheel.
