hi, i'm shelby - the girl behind the camera...


I have always been one who loved being creative, and I am blessed to live each day as a photographer and marketing manager in Orange Beach, Alabama.


To start with a little bit about me—I've been working as a photographer for the last eight years. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Integrated Marketing Communications in 2014! The digital space and content creation are huge passions of mine, so this career has been so rewarding. 


After graduating college, I worked for a small boutique advertising agency for 3.5 years, where I fell in love with photography for the first time. I currently work as a photographer on the Gulf Coast, as well as the full-time Marketing Director at Liquid Life Vacation Rentals.

...a girl who loves travel


Travel truly is my love language, and I've always got my bags packed and my camera ready.


There is something about traveling that brings me so much peace. I absolutely love experiencing new cultures and creating unforgettable memories. I truly believe that you learn so much more from traveling than you ever could in a classroom.


I love exploring new places, especially if that includes photographing a cute couple while I'm there. So feel free to bring me wherever you are!


On my blog, you’ll find travel itineraries, tips on traveling on a budget, and all sorts of things that inspire me (and hopefully you, too)! I’m a firm believer in making the most of every single moment. 

+ a wifey to the raddest dude.


You know that phrase "opposites attract?" Yeah...that's us. I am married to my polar opposite. He is a simple, southern, caring man. He makes me laugh more than my cheeks can handle.


Graham and I got married in 2018, but we have been together for over a decade. He is my person, my adventure buddy, and always reminds me to live life to the fullest.


When we’re not working our full-time jobs, you can find us traveling to new places and visiting local coffee shops (I’m a sucker for an iced white mocha latte), friends, family, and farmers markets. 

I cant wait to meet you!

xoxo, shelby
