Experience

Working with Shelby

My name is Shelby. The name “Rene & Co” comes from my middle name; Rene!! I’m a lifestyle photographer devoted to capturing the authentic, in-between moments that often go unnoticed — the fleeting glances, the quiet laughs, the real emotions that make life so beautiful. My style is rooted in warm and earthy tones, which reflect the natural, grounded approach I take with every session. I believe that photography isn’t just about creating pretty pictures — it’s about telling stories that matter, preserving memories that you’ll cherish for years to come.

Though I’ve been pursuing photography professionally for just over a year, it has quickly become more than a passion — it’s a way of connecting with people and documenting the moments that shape our lives. In 2025, I was honored to receive my town’s 2025 Reader’s Choice Award for photography, a meaningful recognition that reflects the heart I put into my work and the relationships I build with my clients.

Whether it’s a family session, a quiet morning at home, or a golden hour walk in the park, I strive to create a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that allows real life to shine through. My goal is to give you more than just images — I want to give you pieces of time, thoughtfully captured and preserved, so you can relive them again and again.
