If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. Ansel Adams

Don’t shoot what it looks like, shoot what it feels like.
Meet the Shelley behind the shots.
There's really no place I'd rather be than behind my camera.
​
The images on my website are the result of many years of closely observing those small moments where our memories are made. It's those moments I'm always looking to capture – for my clients and for myself.
​
I’ve been hanging around sports fields, rinks, and gymnasiums my whole life – first as an athlete, and coach and then in the bleachers as a parent of athletes. All these years later, being in a competitive environment and photographing the action comes naturally to me. I anticipate where the play is going and focus my shot before the player takes theirs. I especially enjoy capturing those moments of spontaneous emotion that follow the whistle.
​
I worked in public service for over 25 years, using evenings and weekends to build my photography business. As much as I enjoyed it as a hobby, I am over the moon to be embarking on photography as my next career.
