kind words

"Cindy is simply the best! She took my daughter’s senior photos and I couldn’t be happier with them! She was so imaginative and collaborative with my daughter about wardrobe, setting, poses, etc. 

The entire process was top notch from start to finish. Cindy is a great communicator with emails and texts. She sends all the information you need to be prepared prior to the photo shoot and after. She presented the finished shots in a beautiful slide show so the decision making process was a streamlined and easy experience also.

- Sherry Robinson

"Cindy is so good at capturing my daughters true personality in every shoot- and she instills so much confidence in her senior models.

We have so many beautiful pictures that will be precious memories for years to come. I am so thankful for our Shelby senior experience and am grateful for having such an amazing role model for my daughter. I highly recommend Shelby Photography if you want amazing pictures and an artist that takes pride in her work. Cindy is the best!!"

- Tiffany Day

"Watching Cindy work with Skylar in capturing her Senior portraits was inspiring. Cindy has a special touch that makes whoever she is photographing feel comfortable and at ease.

Cindy is able to capture the inner beauty and bring it outside for everyone to see in every picture she takes. She doesn’t just “take” pictures, she takes the time to get to know your daughter/son and personalizes each session making every picture just that much memorable, unique and special."

- Vicky Garey

FASHION
CONSULTATION

What should I wear? It's the #1 question that I get. But I've got you covered! Before your session, we'll dive into a fashion consultation to ensure you're feeling confident, stylish, and ready. Bring your entire wardrobe—we want to see it all! Plus, we've curated a couture jewelry wall brimming with accessories to elevate your ensemble. From dazzling earrings to statement necklaces, bracelets, and rings, you'll find the perfect finishing touches to complete your look. Say goodbye to wardrobe worries and hello to picture-perfect style!

3 HOUR SESSION

It’s important for your session to be fun, natural, and relaxed! Location and wardrobe changes take some time, so planning on three full hours give us plenty of time so that you can really enjoy the experience and not feel rushed. 

PROFESSIONAL HAIR + MAKEUP

The day of your senior session will start with a professional makeup artist and hair stylist. Professional hair and makeup will make you look and feel your very best! Everyone has their own style, so we work with the very best stylists and makeup artists who are experts at applying makeup so that you feel like you are completely YOU.

PROFESSIONALLY RETOUCHED

All of your final images will be professionally retouched, but your skin will look natural and beautiful. 

PERSONALIZED ORDERING SESSION

This happens to be of our favorite moments during the Shelby Senior Experience because we get to show off those beautiful images of YOU! After your images are professionally retouched, we will contact you to set up a time & date for your ordering session at our studio.

HEIRLOOM QUALITY PRINTS

We are proud to offer the highest quality works of art that include gift prints (8x10 or smaller), fine art canvas wraps, framed prints, and press printed books. We know that you also value digital files, so we are happy to offer two Collections that include high resolution digital files.

your senior session

Give us a call at 309.472.1969 or contact me through our website and I’ll reply back with the information you need to set that up. Most of our client’s prefer to book over the phone, but either way is fine with us!

We would be happy to directly email the digital files to your school’s yearbook advisor.

We accept most major credit cards, checks, and cash. There is a minimum order requirement of $550 that is due at the time of your session. You will be able to apply that entire credit to any of our Collections or ALA CARTE items.

The session fee reserves the date and time for your senior session so that the photographer, her assistant, and makeup artist do not take any other appointments. If you need to cancel or reschedule your senior session, the sitting fee cannot be refunded.

We watch the radar very closely. Typically we don’t make a decision about postponing/rescheduling your senior session until the morning of your scheduled appointment because we know that the Mother Nature can change her mind at a moment’s notice. If it’s raining or super windy, more than likely your session will be rescheduled. Your sitting fee is non refundable in case of cancellation with the EXCEPTION of inclement weather.
