"playful, patient and engaging"

"I have now had the pleasure of shooting with Shelby on two separate occasions. Both times I was amazed at her ability to remain gracious under pressure. Shelby took charge of so many different pieces, giving direction, helping the models pose, finding suitable light (on a rainy day), and coming up with creative ways to show off each person's contribution. The pictures came out beautiful and I knew I wanted to book her for my family pictures.

      I am absolutely in LOVE with the way she captured my family. She was playful, patient and engaging. My husband, who hates getting his picture taken, even had a great time. Shelby made us feel comfortable and joyful. She has a way of removing any awkwardness or embarrassment from the process. It was more like having a friend over than a scheduled appointment to take pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone hoping to get amazing and authentic pictures."

"spectacular"


“ I met Shelby a few years ago when she was working for The American Rodeo down in Arlington, TX. Shelby was down in the arena capturing the rough stock ~ truly amazing! Since then we have worked a wedding and facilitated a photoshoot together. When you hire Shelby for your family pictures, engagement photos or your wedding photos, just know that Shelby is such a kind/fun/adaptable person ~ she will easily put you at ease and create a wonderful experience for you. She is not only a true professional and incredibly thorough, but also shows a consistent mastery of lighting and composition in all of her images. The photographs she creates are clean, timeless and sincerely beautiful. I would be honored to have Shelby take my forever photos! “

"Amazing photos, like family & helpful"

Not only did Shelby Caitlin take AMAZING photos, she also stepped in and coordinated, helped with any little thing that we needed, fit in just like family, and brought joy to everywhere she was on our wedding day. 

I cannot recommend her enough, no matter what state you are in!!
