A native Texan, born in Austin and raised in Midland with only a few expat years in Colorado, Shelly and her husband Mike have called Houston home since 1999. Together they raised five sons who are now scattered from Boston to Los Angeles, and they have embraced the empty nest which they share with FredtheCat and Feline Princess Pearl.
During downtime, Shelly enjoys traveling, gardening, bicycling and reading.
Shelly earned her Bachelor of Journalism Degree (BJ Specializing in Public Relations) from The University of Texas at Austin in a time when word processers were a new phenomenon. She spent more than 20 years working in medical and nonprofit public relations and fundraising before transitioning to full time photography. Although she's had a camera in her hand since she was just four years old, her photography business launched on the high school football fields of Katy in 2006. The studio opened officially in 2008.
