According to Shelby, the essence of life lies in families, and preserving their stories for future generations is a great privilege. Having been raised on a farm in the heart of Iowa, she imbibed the importance of hard work, passion, and service from her parents. Her affection towards her family is apparent, and she feels fortunate to have two teenagers, a caring spouse, and two adorable dogs by her side.

Shelby has been on a mission to create perfect portraits and remarkable experiences - where every client is treated like friends and family. Her artistic style and service-focused approach have distinguished Shelby as a favorite choice for clients who want exceptional images.

"That very moment that a portrait I took becomes everything to my client - that is all any artist can ask for."
