welcome

Hi! I am so happy you’re here! My name is Shelby Buchanan, an intimate family photographer that adores documenting motherhood in all of its seasons. From baby bumps, to tiny toes, whether you have 1 kiddo or 10, I want to capture all of the beautiful chaos that comes with it. So prepare to laugh a lot, snuggle, pile up on one another and just enjoy these next 60 minutes together as I document all of the moments in-between. 

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever. It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten.
