We tell your story through fine art portraits.


From the first butterflies during pregnancy to when your child crosses the stage for graduation, Wartick Photography is here to uncover those special moments that tell your child’s story. We offer all-inclusive portrait packages in our small but mighty portrait studio in the heart of the Midwest. Shelby Wartick, an award-winning photographer, will partner with you to design and photograph one-of-a-kind portraits that create a legacy for future generations.


Maternity & Newborns

My goal is to not only capture beautiful images, but to tell your unique story. By working together, we will create stunning keepsakes that will transport you back to those cherished moments in time. Imagine passing by your family portraits in the hallway or flipping through an album on your coffee table. Each image will serve as a reminder of the love and connection you share with your family. I am thrilled to be a part of your family’s journey and to provide you with cherished memories for generations to come. Thank you for considering me as your photographer, I can’t wait to work with you!
