✨📸 SOMETHING NEW IS HERE! 📸✨

We’re trying out a brand-new way to book your photography session—and honestly… we’re pretty excited about it! 🥰

Introducing CURATED GALLERIES! 🎉

So, what does that mean for you?

You book. You show up. You have fun. And then you wait for your photos to magically land in your inbox. ✨📩

That’s it. Leave the rest to me! 🤍

No selection gallery. 🚫
No deciding which photos make the cut. 🚫
No definitive number of images. 🚫
No extra fees for additional photos. 🚫
No decision fatigue. 🫠
And most importantly… NO waiting for you to finish choosing favorites before your turnaround time begins! 🙌

💭 But why the change?

With our traditional process, you would choose your package based on the number of images you wanted, with the option to purchase additional images. After your session, you’d receive a selection gallery where you’d have to narrow everything down to your favorites—and your turnaround time wouldn’t even begin until you finished making those choices.

And we thought…

What if we just skipped that part? 👀

Instead, let me take that decision off your plate! I’ll go through your entire gallery, choose the best of the best, edit those images, and get them on their way to you. 📸✨

You get to enjoy your session without worrying about whether you’ll have to choose between that smile or this one. You don’t have to count images, debate favorites, or wonder if you should spend more to get a few extras.

You just get the good stuff. 🥹🤍

And because your turnaround time starts right after your session, you’ll be getting those beautiful memories back even sooner! 🎉

For now, this is something we’re trialing with our current mini sessions to see how everyone likes it! 👀

We’d LOVE to hear what you think! Would you prefer a “just show up and let me handle the rest” experience? 👇💬

Because if the answer is YES… this might just be the future of our sessions! ✨📸

❤️💙 HELP US SPOIL OUR LOCAL FIRST RESPONDERS! 💙❤️

Tomorrow, my kids and I are putting together and delivering two appreciation baskets in honor of 9/11:

💙 A BLUE basket for our local police department
❤️ A RED basket for our local fire department

Our goal is to raise $100 total — $50 for each basket! I really want to SPOIL them and fill these baskets with snacks, drinks, treats, and goodies as a small thank-you for everything they do for our community. ❤️

Every dollar donated will go directly toward the baskets — and if we go over our goal, we’ll just make them even better!

📸 AND I thought it would be fun to give back to one of you too!

I’m giving away $75 OFF a future Shelby Franco Photography session!

TO ENTER:
❤️💙 Comment a red or blue heart below!

If you’d like to help us fill the baskets, donations can be sent to:
Venmo:

No donation is required to enter, and donating does not increase your chances of winning.

One winner will be randomly selected from the comments.

Thank you for helping us show our local first responders a little extra love! ❤️💙

✨ HEY THERE! 👋🏻 ✨

I’ve been a little quiet around here lately, but I’m officially back and getting back into the swing of things—and I am SO excited for what’s ahead! 📸🤎

This summer has been a busy one! Between spending time with my family, recently starting our homeschool journey, and learning how to navigate our brand-new schedule and routine, life has definitely looked a little different around here. 🏡📚

And honestly, it feels fitting that I’m coming back with this photo from a recent maternity session. 🤍

Maternity sessions are all about new beginnings, change, anticipation, and stepping into a new season of life—and that feels pretty fitting for where I am right now, too. In a completely different way, I’m experiencing my own season of new beginnings, learning a new rhythm, and getting excited about what’s waiting around the corner. ✨

So with that said… I’M BACK! 🥹📸

🍂 FALL BOOKINGS ARE NOW OPEN! 🍂
