“Amazing photographer, amazing experience! Shelby made my family feel comfortable and the whole experience from start to finish. This includes strong communication throughout, providing outfit inspiration photos, making suggestions of where to take the photos based on my preferences, helping us pose and look great day of. The photos turned out beautifully and she provided some low cost printing options. I have access to all of the photos and can print at my own convenience. Highly recommend Shelby!” - Michelle Sirianni

“The best photography experience we have ever had! I debated on even doing maternity photos because I’m self conscious and I hate being the center of attention. I get really uncomfortable. Shelby made the experience so fun and comfortable! She gave excellent recommendations on locations. She was willing to drive to wherever we wanted. The location we picked (in the gorge) ended up being super windy that day and I was so worried about how my hair would look in the photos, but with her editing skills you could not tell at all! We are so thankful for these amazing photos that we will cherish forever!” - Catherine K

“Shelby was so much fun to work with. My fiance and myself are both a little uncomfortable having the spotlight turned on us and I was worried that would make for some incredibly awkward engagement photos. However, Shelby made us feel so relaxed and broke us out of that initial panic about what to do with our hands, faces, etc. and captured some genuine smiles and happy moments. She had the edited photo gallery over so much faster than I would have anticipated and we are overjoyed with all of the images that she had included. All of them were edited beautifully and will be cherished photos for years to come. I cannot recommend her enough!” - Taylor Rayl

“Shelby just finished capturing the second of our family reunions, as well as handling my daughter's wedding. She "gets us"... and encouraged us to just be ourselves and she worked around our weirdness. She is amazing and the end result of the collaboration feels more like snapshots of family life than capturing images of staged mannequins. She's the best!!!” - Dean Hanson

“I’ve had the pleasure of using Malone Photography for every major life event since my daughter was born. These are just some of her recent work. Shelby is incredibly patient and so easy to work with. Her light heartedness makes you want to open up and have fun. I never leave a shoot without laughing. She is the best!” - Ashley Todd
