Hey there! I’m Shelby.

(b. 1994, she/them)

I am an independent photographer and multimedia journalist raised and based in Dallas, TX. I work on stories covering reproductive health, LGBTQ+ issues, youth development, the environment, and politics.

I have a history of wandering, but few skies tug my heart the way Texan skies do. I am available for assignments in the Lone Star State and willing to travel.
