About Me
One of the most important things I strive for in life is connection - with people, with the earth, and through the art of dance. I believe art is a powerful catalyst for bringing people together. From singing along with strangers to your favorite band at a concert, or grabbing a friend and squishing in close for a photo, art encourages proximity to one another, and more often than not, a smile.
However, joy is not the only emotion that can be brought from art. It can bring tears whilst viewing a photo of a loved one, or compels us to reflect on important history through film. Photography, in particular, helps us learn to see the world in a different perspective, thus connecting us once again, to the world and each other.
As a dancer, extrovert, and giggly human being, one of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with others. I achieve this primarily by listening—to my body, to nature, and to my friends. There is a genuine warmth that fills me, the same way a fire can on a cold night, when I can take a step back from life and sit down with a friend with a hot drink between us, and just listen to how they are doing.
That’s what photography has done for me, it has given me another profound way to connect with people, a privilege I do not take lightly. If I am given the honor of your trust in me to capture your moments, you can be certain that I will listen attentively and ensure you feel completely heard. My goal is for you to walk away from our session feeling not only that you made a great business decision, but that you have also found a new friend.
Talk soon,
Shelby K.
