Hi!

I'm Shelby

I'm the photographer behind As Shelby Sees It Photography. I’m based in Lubbock, TX, and I specialize in capturing life’s most meaningful moments with creativity, heart, and a touch of fun. Whether it’s a family session, maternity shoot, graduation, or a playful mini, I’m here to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Photography is my creative outlet, but here’s a fun fact—I also have a PhD! So whether I’m behind the lens or buried in research, I’m all about telling stories that matter. When I’m not taking photos, you’ll find me chasing golden hour, hanging with my favorite people (and pets!), or planning my next creative project.

My approach

 

My approach to photography is all about capturing genuine moments and real emotions. I focus on creating a relaxed, comfortable environment where you can be yourself, whether it’s a joyful celebration, quiet milestone, or everyday magic. I believe in telling your story through natural light, authentic connection, and thoughtful details—so every photo feels personal, timeless, and true to you.
