Hiii, it’s me! Stepping in front of the camera with an updated about me!

A few fun facts ✨💌
- I love to travel! I’ve been to 5 countries and have a bucket list filled with more to visit.
- I have a basset hound puppy named Georgia 🐾
- My day time job is a TV news reporter in South Bend
- I bought my first camera from a pawn shop in elementary school for the 4-H photography project
- I said I do! To my highschool sweetheart in August
-I’m not a great cook…but I’m hoping to start my sourdough journey soon! I’ll keep everyone posted 🙂
-I’m a boilermaker through and through…even if they give me a heart attack every game 🤣

My photography style can be described as true to life, natural and vibrant. I strive to create timeless images that will last for years to come!

Big News… (read below) 🗣️🙌🏼

My photography business name will be changing! I recently got married, and my new name is Shelby Kitch.

To reflect that, my photography socials have changed to , it will take time to change everything over from my website, and email.

During this transition I will still be checking my Shelby Whitaker photo gmail, however starting January 1, 2026 everything will be changed, and the Shelby Kitch gmail will be the only active inbox.

I know this may get confusing, so if you need to get in contact with me feel free to also DM me!

**If you’ve already booked with me or have an upcoming session this won’t impact anything**

Thank you all for understanding and continued to support as I enter this next chapter of my life! 🫶🏼💍
