Before you share your story...
let me tell you mine...
I am Shelby, the self taught photographer behind the lens. I am a mom of three, who all happen to be carbon copies of their dad. Their extraordinary weirdness, however, comes straight from their mom. I married my high school sweetheart at the early age of 18. Marriage has been far from easy, but it is hands down the most rewarding thing I have ever done.
I love laughing with friends over board games and a glass of wine, reading Pride & Prejudice for the millionth time, and listening to music constantly.
I am very family oriented and nothing I have ever done has made more sense to me than being a mom.
I remember . . .
As a child I would sit in my dads office and open up all the boxes that held our family's photos. I would spend hours looking through them all. I loved seeing my parents as young adults or children; it felt as though I was able to almost know them as they were then simply through a photograph. I was able to experience memories that weren't my own, or memories that were my own that I couldn't hope to remember.
Photographs are such an essential part of our culture, but sometimes we miss moments because we are trying so hard to capture them, to remember them. That is where I come in. I want to be there with you and your family; I want to make sure you have those moments frozen in time forever, moments that you can pass down to your own children to search through.
