Shelby Studios Photography | Peoria IL wedding photographers bio picture

  • Welcome to the blog. I’m so glad you’re here! Stay for awhile and come back often!

    Hello there. I'm Cindy!

    Why Shelby Studios Photography? I named the business after my beautiful daughter, Shelby. I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer who has a passion for taking photographs that capture amazing light as well as emotion. My goal is to capture a slice of life in a creative and artistic way that reflects who you are and who you love! A great photograph not only captures a moment in time visually; it makes you remember exactly how you felt when it was taken. I hope that you enjoy the work that I have posted here and that it touches your heart as much as it touches me. Thank you for stopping by!
