hi, i'm shelby
SAY CHEESE
I'm a portrait artist who specializes in teen, high school senior, pet, and family photography. I opened my studio in 2012 after leaving a career in Human Resources to spend more time with my family. My husband Tyler and I have 13 year old twins and we split our time between Nashville, TN and Chicago, IL.
Aside from photography, I'm into all things creative -- theatre, music, painting... My ultimate passion is in the arts!
