Canyon Moon

Welcome to my page, friend :) I'm so glad you're here —
I'm a small-town gal with PNW dreams! Residing in a super small town north of Beaumont, Texas — I dream of nothing else but adventure. I, also, attend Liberty University — majoring in Psychology! When I'm not taking photos or traveling... I love reading a good romance book (CoHo for life!), going on late night drives, and eating a big ol' bowl of pho (okay, now I'm hungry). I make the best Spotify playlists... no for real, just wait until our session.... Gilmore Girls, New Girl, and Ghost Adventures are my comfort shows & always playing while I work at home!
My favorite part about my job is the people I meet and the genuine connections & relationships that happen. You're more than a client to me — We're going to be besties, just you wait!
Whatever vibe you’re going for on your wedding day, I can hang. Your day? Your vibe.

let's do this thing

your best friend and third wheel

Hi, I'm Shelby!

being behind my camera and telling your story is what i live for

I started Canyon Moon in October of 2018, as a hobby and not taking it very seriously... I started talking photos of nature when I traveled the Big Thicket, which is actually in my hometown! After a few months, I did a few sessions for friends and never touched my camera again. A few years after that (in the middle of the pandemic actually), I picked up my camera again and immediately felt right at home. I started taking photos of anything: I said yes to whatever people threw my way! I began to realize this is what I wanted to do forever — I fell in love with telling people's stories. Here I am, three years later and happier than I've ever been!
I'm actually obsessed with my job (creating something 24/7... no literally). So if you're down for an adventure... I'm your gal :)

If you asked me in high school what I wanted to be when I grew up, you would've heard answers like a teacher or a nurse... Here I am, 6 years later traveling to new places, capturing all things love and adventure, and telling love stories across the country. This life is nothing less of a dream to me, and I couldn't be happier where I'm at.

I'm here through it all and for it all....
The Taylor Swift dance parties during our session, laughing so hard we cry when you see how bad of a dancer I am (I'll still boogie though), crying at your wedding when you say your vows, and taking tequila shots with the bridal party! I'm here to make sure your hair looks perfect and to make sure there's no lipstick on your teeth... I'll even check for boogies if you need me too! No shame!

I will be your friend for life, not just during our time together :)
