Timeless imagery that feels elegant, candid, and true to you.
Nice to meet you!
I'm Shelby
With a background in fine art and social media, my work is focused on blending my eye for editorial compositions with an instinct for candid moments. At the heart of my work is making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Because beautiful photos happen when YOU feel beautiful. I gently guide each of my sessions, creating space for ease, presence, and natural moments (without pressure or judgment).
Offerings
Weddings
Starting at $3500
Unhurried coverage of your day as it unfolds, shaped around the people you love. I show up as an observer, staying quiet and close, so the day feels like yours and the photos feel true to it. It's timeless wedding photography for couples who want the real moments, and images that hold onto what it felt like.
Portraits
Starting at $400
A portrait session is about settling into a space where you feel free to be yourself, and trusting me to see and capture that part of you. Together we create images that feel like you. My style is natural and true to color, so the photos become timeless keepsakes of this part of your journey.
Brands
Starting at $600
Every brand session begins with understanding your story and your goals. From there, I build imagery that represents your brand visually, with a look that feels specific to you. You leave with assets for your website, socials, and everything in between.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Shelby Spencer for our wedding weekend, and words can’t fully express how grateful we are. From the start of field day, to the end of the night at our wedding, she made us feel completely comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Her kind and calming presence was exactly what we needed on such an emotional and fast-paced day.
She has an incredible eye for detail and an unmatched ability to capture the most meaningful, candid moments — the ones that truly reflect the love, laughter, and joy we felt. Looking through our photos brings us right back to each moment in the most beautiful way. Every image tells a story and feels so uniquely “us.”
Not only is she an exceptionally talented photographer, but she is also a genuinely wonderful person to work with — patient, thoughtful, and passionate about what she does. We are so lucky to have had her document our day and could not recommend her more highly!

Stop your scrolling! If you’re looking for a wedding photographer you’ve found her! Having our wedding photographed by Shelby truly ended up becoming a dream come true. There are SO many options when it comes to who to hire as your wedding photographer and the minute I got in touch with Shelby I knew I didnt need to keep searching. She was so easy to talk to and keep in touch with. Over the course of about 9 months she was by far the easiest vendor I worked with! One our wedding day, she was on time and directed everyone so seamlessly. We got our photos back within the timeline we had previously discussed and the quality was unreal! I would HIGHLY recommend Shelby if you’re like me - someone who prefers candid photos and photos that feel like a natural documentation of your special weekend. I have received nothing but constant compliments on our photos since our wedding a few months ago. Love her!

Shelby and her team did an absolutely amazing job photographing our wedding. My husband and I are not the type to love picture taking or being in front of a camera and she made us feel super comfortable. During the ceremony and reception, you would not have even known she was there but the photos of both turned out perfect. I cannot recommend Shelby enough!

Shelby is phenomenal! My husband and I are not comfortable around the camera and usually tense up when cameras are pointed at us, but Shelby is extremely intuitive and knew what direction we needed. Our photos are organic and not posed. She did a beautiful job of capturing the essence of our wedding and went as far as taking beautiful family photos of our friends and their children. My guests even commented on how amazing and kind she was at the wedding. She knew exactly what she was doing and I could not have asked for anyone better. She is also just a kind and genuine person. I would (and do) recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer and I’m so thankful I picked her! I will cherish the memories and photos for the rest of my life.

Shelby is wildly talented. She made the entire experience feel effortless from start to finish and was an absolute joy to work with. As someone who doesn’t love having their photo taken, I especially appreciated how relaxed and comfortable she made me feel during the shoot. Communication was clear and seamless throughout. She delivered a sneak peek and final gallery exactly within the promised timeline, and her pricing felt like an incredible value for the quality of work. I can’t recommend her enough.

Shelby is the best! We immediately fell in love with her portfolio and knew instantly her style is how we wanted to document our wedding. Shelby shot our wedding solo and captured it from every angle that she must also be a part time ninja. She is also extremely nice and accommodated every request we could possible throw at her. Do yourself a favor hire Shelby Spencer for whatever you need photographed, you will love the results.

The entire process of working with Shelby was fantastic. She answered all of my questions in a timely, thorough fashion. She walked me through her artistic process/what our shoot would look like, while also helping create a shared vision for what we wanted out of our photos.
The day of the shoot, Shelby was so enthusiastic and patient with our 2 year old. The shoot never felt awkward or forced. The images that she sent us were absolutely perfect. She captured us in our true nature and I’ll treasure these images for the rest of my life.
