About

My sweet clients WELCOME!
I feel like a huge part in picking a photographer is really finding someone you can trust, relate with, love their style and of course…love their personality!
I am the one making your session what it really needs to be to tell your story, and a big part of that is making sure you really…well, like ME!

My real name behind Your Family Story Photography is simply just Shelly : )

I could really write a novel about all the things I love and quite honestly why I love doing this but I promise I will try to sum it up!

First…I love KIDS. I have two of my own God has so generiously blessed my husband and I with. Layton and his sweet brother Colton.
They are my drive, my passion to succeed in life, my motivation, and my strength when days are weak. They make me smile, laugh, learn, grow, and trust.
I also have another pretty awesome man in my life…see the handsome guy in the picture above…yep he’s mine and I am so lucky!
I am married to Jeremy, for almost 10 years now, yes he’s my high school love, and I am still, to this very minute, head over heels in love with this amazing man. Without him…this passion for photography would be only a dream and not reality. Because of my countless hours behind the lens and computer, sometimes I slack on the duties as a mom and wife and housekeeper and that is where he is so gracious and steps right in, always, without complaints : )

These three boys are my life and without them I would fail but above and beyond the love I have so deeply for them I first and foremost put my heart and life into the one who created me, God!
I make mistakes, sometimes many of them, and sometimes ones that I desperatly wish I could take back but because of His Mercy and forgiving Grace I am strengthened in hope to learn, grow, and always aim to be an example of Him.
Everything I do, know, or become is because of the Grace of God and I pray He will be my hands and feet though all of this.

Lastly, I am beyond humbled and excited to be doing something I so desperately love. I love meeting y’all, I love telling your story, I love creating a memory that will stay with you for a lifetime! And I so very much just love hiding behind that camera of mine!

That’s me…the short version anyway! I hope to get the opportunity to know you : )
Thanks for stopping by!

I was the Maid of Honor for my best friend's wedding in September, and Your Family Story was amazing! Shelly and Emily were so on top of catching great candid photos throughout the whole day, and they were so on top of everything - they even had a steamer for our dresses! Not only did I feel like they were very well prepared for the day, they were so much fun to have around! Shelly has such a wonderful passion for what she does, and that shines through while she's working, which makes you feel even more excited and comfortable that you are in very capable and talented hands. I recently was able to look at all of the final photos from the day, and I needed my handkerchief all over again - they were SO BEAUTIFUL! So glad that Your Family Story captured this special day, and especially all the lovely, candid moments between the bride and I. Thank you Shelly and Emily for sharing your amazing talents!
