Welcome!
Birth & parenthood stories for families who want to remember every important detail.
Shelby was there for my home birth and captured all the raw emotions and love of delivering my third baby. She was a lovely addition to my birth support and I really loved having her with us at such a special time. I highly recommend her!!
I am so in love with the photos we captured tonight! Shelby is super great at going with the flow of everything, and was amazing with my little miss! She was so awesome to work with. Thanks Shelby!
Fell in love with our photo session. <3 She suggested colour schemes for outfits, and let us have them look as natural and candid as we wanted! 100% something that will be going on our wall and will do again. Thank you again for capturing such precious moments of our kiddos and family!
Shelby was there for the birth of my first daughter, and will be there for my next. She is a sweetheart and wonderful at what she does.
Shelby helped me so much with my labour, and it was really amazing to have her there with me! Her hip presses helped sooo much. She knew exactly where to press to make each contraction a little less painful. Thank you for being there and helping welcome Alycie into the world.
Shelby is an amazing doula, she stood by my side throughout my whole labour and birthing process. Truthfully I don’t remember much of it, but I remember feeling confident, supported, loved and relaxed. She helped me have the birth I dreamed of, and I believe it is because of her that I managed to cope through all my discomfort. Today Shelby is a friend of mine and I will definitely hire her as my doula for my next pregnancy!
Hello! My name is Shelby Story. I’m a wife, mom of 3, doula, and photographer specializing in motherhood & birth. I believe that every “story” is worthy of being documented. The journey of parenthood is a magnificent one, and capturing authentic, loving moments shared between a family makes my heart sing. If I’m not on call, you can probably find me and my boys hanging out in the mountains… Or at home playing video games. Thanks for stopping by my website!
