Shelbi...

"I cannot recommend Shelbi enough! We were so fortunate to get to work with her and the results are just breathtaking. Shelbi is excellent with both shy, and more boisterous dogs, easily helping them to feel comfortable and place them in beautiful poses. The quality of her work speaks for its self, and I wouldn’t book anyone else for portraiture or candids of my dog. If you are looking for an excellent pet photographer who fun, is easy to work with, delivers a beautiful product, you have found her!"

"I am a professional photographer myself and hired Shelbi on a commercial level to create advertisements and capture footage for my events. I have also hired her as a videographer for private shoots and trips. She is very professional and creates some of the most beautiful work that I have ever seen. The first time I saw her video work, I felt like I was watching a movie. It was the best equine videography I had ever seen. I had never been driven to hire a videographer, especially since I am a photographer and try to do it myself- but her work pushed me to take that leap and it turned out to be an incredible investment for my business. It increased my revenue and reach immediately. She is worth every cent of the investment. She captures the soul of horses in a way that you can’t ask people to do. She has got real natural talent. She exceeded my expectations and matched my vision so wonderfully that I never felt the need to tell her anything or request any changes. She’s a visionary and creates work that anyone could treasure for a lifetime. Her videography is so rave-worthy that I also forget what an incredible photographer she is. When I see her working on her sessions, she dedicates herself entirely and is committed to her craft and customers. Her finished product is bar none, and as a professional myself, I can openly admit that she is one of the best that there are. Based in the Pacific Northwest, she has dreamy locations and personal access points for sessions that many will just never have. I would highly recommend her for private sessions, branding sessions, and commercial work. The sky is truly the limit for her talent."

"Shelbi is incredibly talented! We had the best experience with her and would highly recommend her to everybody. She was responsive and helpful with communication prior to the shoot and her contract was thorough and very professional. We were so impressed on how she captured our two crazy dogs in both still and motion pictures. We just love her gorgeous photography, style, and editing. We can't wait to have some of the images printed and hung in our house. She did just the most amazing job! 100/10 recommend 🙂"

"Shelbi was amazingly fun and professional in her sessions with my daughters and their horses. She has nerves of steel to try to photograph both kids and horses at the same time! She managed to keep the session fun for my kids while dealing with some difficult horse behavior and we still had tons of beautiful pictures to choose from! Highly recommended!"
