Capturing Your Greatest Love Story

The birth of our baby is THE SINGLE, greatest, love story of our entire lives. Every story is different, but your birth story is an experience that cannot be recreated - a story raw with emotion, unscripted and transforming. Your birth story is a moment that deserves to be captured!

Let me accompany you on your journey through motherhood so you can relish in EVERY moment while I capture that spark you already house inside! Together, we will create living memories, in the moment magic, and a world of adventure.

Hello & Welcome

I'm Shelby Marshall, the Momma behind the lens with Anna Rae Photography. The littlest face you see here is my sweet girl - Anna Rae - the inspiration behind every journey I take with my camera.

 

I thrive off more than just a quick smile - I'm forever chasing that raw emotion, those smallest of moments that may go unnoticed, the tiniest lines and wrinkles on your baby's feet at just 7 minutes old. I'm here to unveil what defines YOUR connections, YOUR cherished promises, and the LOVE we so easily forget is right there in front of our eyes.

The Experience

I endeavor to provide a novel experience - one in which you rarely notice the camera is present. I'm always looking for the most unique angle, the most candid moments that capture the individualness that expounds each instant of who you are in each snapshot so that years from the birth of your child - or your session - you can relive the moments in which we created your experience. Follow the link to see some of my favorite experiences!

"When it comes to photography, you have to be able to connect with your photographer and I very much felt that with Shelby. At the time I was pregnant with twins and was very excited to meet them and I could feel that she was just as excited for me. She was so warm and caring that you can't help but feel jovial around her. She is very easy to talk to and when I told her I thought labor might be awhile after one of my baby's water broke, she immediately left to join us at the hospital.

 

She captured some of the most raw moments of my life and I am forever grateful for them. Not only was it an amazing birth but I also got to see my second twin grasping the doctors finger as he came into this world. I clearly remember her supporting me during labor as well, which was so special. [These Photos] are truly a remarkable gift that I will treasure always.”
