images that mean something

hi, i'm shelley!

My style can best be described as intentional, intuitive, and natural. My clients appreciate that I make a heartfelt effort to get to know them and understand what they're hoping to get out of their session before we ever meet up for our shoot. I believe this his how a space of trust is fostered; this allows you to feel comfortable in front of the camera, and allows me the creative freedom necessary to create beautiful images that are wholly unique. 

I've been a full-time photographer since I was 18 years old, and I'm proud to say that after ten years, I still love what I do. I document weddings and couples all over the country with my husband/business partner, but I love working locally with families, individuals, and brands as a solo photographer in my beloved hometown of Bowling Green, Kentucky.

STANDARD SESSIONS | 500/HR
Typically taken outdoors, this is my standard session for most families, children, seniors/grads, & maternity. These sessions are limited to one location and up to two outfits per hour booked, and typically deliver 75+ edited images.

IN-HOME SESSIONS | 500/HR WITH A MINIMUM OF 2 HOURS
In-home sessions are the best way to capture your family's organic dynamic in your natural environment. We will do a bit of pre-planning before your in-home session so the entire experience is custom-tailored to fit your family.
(Note: in-home newborn photos can be booked as 1-hour sessions)

MINI SESSIONS | 300 FOR 20 MINUTES
Seasonal mini sessions are offered exclusively throughout the year on a first-come, first-serve basis. These artful outdoor sessions are ideal for quick updated photos throughout the year (wildflower minis, fall leaves minis, and Christmas tree farm minis, to name a few past mini themes)! Mini session dates are offered to my previous clients first before I open them up to the public, so if you'd like to be the first to know, sign up for my VIP email list below!

The goal is always beautiful, intentional images that will stand the test of time and be cherished long after you're gone. I'm proud to serve folks in my community who understand the true value of our time together, and who are looking forward to the unique and artful images that we'll create together.

*Note: A travel fee of $0.20/mi will incur for sessions outside of Warren Co., Kentucky*

PAST AND CURRENT CLIENTS:

Photos make a lasting first impression, especially in this modern age of social media. Quality branding photography has the power to elevate your message, establish your credibility, and attract potential clients. 

Whether it's simple studio headshots, a one-day branding session, or a continual relationship working together over an extended period, I love working with brands and individuals who understand the value of collaborating and creating images that represent your mission well.

If you have a unique vision for your images (branding, professional, creative, non-profit, etc.) then I'd love to get on the phone for a brainstorming and planning session. From there, we will create a custom coverage package to fit your desires.
