Shelby Jane
DOCUMENTING ALL LOVE STORIES NEAR OR FAR
Indiana Based Lifestyle Photographer
Lifestyle Session Investments -
And everything they entail
I offer a variety of lifestyle sessions from couples & engagements, individual portraits, family and maternity. I’ve got you covered! Your session can take place wherever you’d like: in your home, the city you live in, outdoors in a cute nature location, or we can travel somewhere too. I'm always down for travel so I'm ready for all the adventure that your session entails. You can bring any props you’d like (pets included)! I always send a questionnaire that way we can customize your session perfectly to you, and your wants + needs.
I want to document who you truly are, so there are no forced smiles or awkward poses. I truly believe capturing a moment between you and your lover, or the laughs between you and your babies will mean so much more to you than a posed smile for the camera.
Couples, Engagement, and Maternity
If you’re looking for a session that’s a more hands off approach with guidance as needed then I’m the photographer for you. Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean I’ll show up the day of and start taking your pictures and not telling you what to do. I always like to plan activities based around who you are as a couple or a family, that way we can really capture those in between moments. I also have prompts for guidance that lead into something very natural and organic.
I live for the moments that feel very true to you, so if you’re looking for a stress free experience while having your photos taken you’re in the right place.
Why should you hire me?
The Process and how I do things
Your experience is one of my top priorities when you book your session with me. Whether you want photos to document an important moment in your lives, or just because, I’m so happy you’re considering me to capture it. Once you reach out and we get your session booked, I’ll send over questionnaires to get to know you, from what you love to do, what you like to eat, some of your favorite activities, your fave music *so I can play the best playlist for you during your session*.
I’ll be there to answer any questions you have, if that's photo or even personal life. I’m there for you. Because once your gallery is delivered I’ll stay in contact online and show my support for all your little and big milestones.
I believe your session should be about you and your experience. Whether you're celebrating an engagement or welcoming a baby I'll be there
Let's talk about the next steps
The whole process begins the day you inquire with me. Once we see that we’re a perfect match, and you sign a contract securing me for your lifestyle session, that's when the fun really starts. From there we will get to know each other a lot more. I always send a few different questionnaires as well to see where you’d like your photos done as well as what kind of activities you’d like to do for your photos, this helps with capturing those candid moments.
My process broken down and simplified
1.) Inquire, get a response within 24 hours
2.) Sign the contract and pay the retainer. You're all set!
3.) We get to know one another through planning and questionnaires
4.) Day of session! We meet up and I document you and capture those organic moments
5.) Photos delivered and a friend forever within 4 weeks

Shelby truly cares about her clients & it shows in her work.
Shelby did an amazing job on our couples shoot last year & as such we asked her to photograph our wedding this past April. Shelby was an absolute ROCKSTAR! Planning our wedding, engagement shoot & then actually following through was a breeze and we honestly did not expect to receive as much help from her as we did. Shelby truly cares about her clients & it shows in her work. Our photos are absolutely breathtaking, we love how nearly every single photo taken captured the real "us" and never felt stiff, awkward or posed (which was really the only fear we had). We have no hesitation posting, hanging, framing them everywhere we can. I would recommend Shelby Jane Photography to everyone in need of a reliable, relatable & outstanding photographer.

She was incredibly patient as we navigated the venue search and booking process.
Shelby is a MAGICIAN when it comes to photography! As soon as I got engaged, she was one of the first photographers to congratulate me on Instagram on my engagement. I hadn't heard of her until then and then we ended up booking her for our wedding! She was incredibly patient as we navigated the venue search and booking process. We have met for our engagement session and she was able to take two normally awkward people and make us look AMAZING!!!! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and you can tell! Everyone loves our engagement pictures! We are so excited to have her document our big day next October! She has been available for any and all help we have needed during this process!

I was so impressed with how quickly she turned around our gallery
We loved working with Shelby for our engagement pictures! She made us feel comfortable making it a far less awkward experience than we were expecting. I was so impressed with how quickly she turned around our gallery, and we were so happy with how our pictures turned out. We’ve gotten so many compliments on Shelby’s work!
