HI! I'M SHELLY

Family First Photography

"I got into photography as a fun hobby to capture the special moments of my close friends and family. As I started my own family, I really began to appreciate the value of having those memories saved and how much I treasured looking back at them. Now, I find so much joy in creating that same experience for others, and I’d love the chance to capture your memories so they last a lifetime."

Testimonials
"Shelly was amazing with my family! I have littles that don’t always want to smile or take photos and she had great patience with them. The photos turned out beautiful and they are posted all around my home. I would definitely recommend Shelly and I will be using her again".

Shelly is an amazing photographer. We did maternity and newborn shoots with her. She was so patient with our 4 year old son throughout and the results were fantastic. We will definitely be using her services again in the near future!

Testimonials

Shelly did a wonderful job with our photos! She was VERY helpful with helping me pick out our outfits so that our pictures would turn out well. We also had a family emergency, and she graciously rescheduled us. Our pictures turned out so perfect. She was wonderful with our young kids, too. They loved her and gave her a lot of big smiles. Can’t wait to hire her again!
