Your family is one of a kind.
Shouldn't Your Family Portraits be just as unique?

"Shelly can capture that moment
you didn't know you were looking for."
Kind Words
"Shelly’s relaxed demeanor put everyone at ease."
"Her portraits do not rely on studio poses (thankfully), but focus on capturing natural moments."
"Shelly took the most beautiful outdoor photos of my entire family — 3 generations plus the dog!"
" ... not just beautiful portraits, but rather precious family moments
expertly captured."
The Process
01.
Decide if I'm right for You.
You can get a feel for my style and sessions by looking through my portfolio slideshow above, take a look at my terms and conditions of working with me, and get an overview of my pricing structure for family portraits and couples photography. Of course, you might like to hear what past clients have to say, as well!
If you think we're a good match, send me a booking request with your details.
Book Your Session & Get ready.
02.
I'll review the details of your request and respond with a suggested date and time, and recommended location (usually within 24-48 hours). When we've settled on the details for your session, I'll send your 1) Photo Session Agreement (contract) outlining details of your session and 2) An invoice for your Session Fee payable by credit card. When I receive your signed agreement and payment, you're session is booked! I'll send some tips and guidelines to help you prepare for the best session possible (start here).
View & Purchase Photos.
03.
"Shelly is a wonderful person to work with who takes beautiful photos and makes the photo shoot easy."
Three weeks after your session, you'll receive a link to your online gallery where you can view your family's portraits, mark and compare favorites, and decide which photos you'd like to purchase as prints, wall art, or high-resolution digital files. Your gallery will be online for 60 days, and you can invite additional family members and friends to view, favorite, and make their own purchases directly if desired.
