ABOUT SHELBY...
Hey! I'm a photographer, actor, and filmmaker. I fell in love with photography at Michigan State University when I began taking headshots for my classmates in the Theatre program. Since then, I've worked as an assistant for incredible photographers like Emily Hawkes, Regina Tamburro, Rachel Vanni, and Max+Co, who have been instrumental in developing my knowledge of studio lighting and commercial photography. I've been fortunate enough to work on projects for brands like Pret A Manger, UberEats, Olay, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Recess, AARP, and Hendrick's Gin.
I've also begun adventuring into event photography, and have recently shot for clients like Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and The Public.
For me, the best part of being behind the camera is the ability to show my clients the beauty that I see -- my favorite thing to hear is "Umm... wtf this is the best picture I've ever had of myself??" I like to create an environment on set that is chill, low pressure, and encourages playfulness and authenticity.
