It’s been a minute since I’ve posted on my actual feed. So here it goes…

I’m working on “getting my sparkle back”. Specifically that looks like being very careful about what I let into my life. Really flexing my discernment muscles…

I’ve been reflecting a lot on what has changed for me and asking myself where I went wrong a lot as I don’t feel like “myself”. As so much of my life did a (much needed) 180 in the past few months, the beautiful thing is that I get to choose happiness and joy and only what feels aligned for me. It’s been amazing because I do feel like I’m “finding myself”, as cliche as that sounds.

I became a bit of a hermit in recent months, but I’m ready to do less of that again. An important piece in my life has been photography for over 7 years now! It has been the guiding force for where I go and as I let it go a bit this Summer, it has become SO clear that it’s what I need to be doing, it’s just the how and where that shifts.

I’m excited to share the many different things I’ve been working on recently and get it all back!!

If you can relate to slightly losing yourself and wanting to get it all back, let me know in the comments. It’s a safe space 🤍

Today Colin embarks on a new journey as he goes back to school.

To say I am proud of him is the understatement of the century! This has been an incredibly exciting (while also nerve-racking) time for us.

For those that don’t know, Colin is pursuing a career in counselling, and after a 3 minute conversation with him you’ll know why this makes so much sense. He is kind, gentle, an incredible listener, open, and I have no doubt that this will be an amazing direction for him.

Colin, thank you for your bravery to go after your dreams. Thank you for your strength to go into a field with unknowns. Thank you for loving me so deeply amidst difficult seasons.

While I am so nervous for what these next couple years will look like for us, I know that everything will be okay. Together, we can accomplish anything!

Join me in congratulating Colin as he takes such a big step and wish him well 🫶🏼

Branding Sessions are definitely some of my favourite! Helping you capture and create images that show who you are, your personality, and are useful in marketing your business is so important to me.

This past Spring I hosted All-Inclusive Branding Sessions, and this is a glimpse at one of those sessions with Brittany of !

I worked with an incredible team as well:

Photos 1-4 & 8 were from my favourite day of 2024.

We took a train from Pisa to La Spezia and checked into one of our best stays of the trip. Showered off and felt refreshed for the first time in a minute and quickly learned how to get to Cinque Terre. We decided since we’ve already had a day of travelling to go to the first town of Riomaggiore. The train ride from La Spezia to Riomaggiore was quick and absolutely stunning. We spent the evening wandering around the little town, got calamari, and decided to stay for sunset. We grabbed a bag of chips, a beer, and a half bottle of wine that was served with two plastic cups and found our spot on the rocks. I’ll never forget this evening for as long as I live, spending it with the love of my life.

Cinque Terre are five towns along the coast with iconic stacking of buildings on the mountainside as it leads into the ocean. These 5 towns are what inspired the Disney movie Luca!

I hope if you go to Italy you can experience Cinque Terre and the magic that it has to offer 🇮🇹

July was so full of dopamine, that’s why it’s my favourite ☀️🤪👙

This session reminded me, in the best way, why I love being a photographer!! It was so so special to me ✨

I first met Dani when she was 15(?) as her volleyball coach. We instantly connected and it felt like we were sisters! I went on to coach her for the next 4 years, and our bond only continued to grow. When she reached out to me last September and asked me to shoot her wedding this year I was completely baffled and honoured!!

I’m so proud of the woman, the mama, and the soon-to-be wife that she has grown up to be. Her and Eric together are such a cool couple and I’m just so honoured to know them.

Being a photographer means so much more than getting to take photos and create art, it’s about the connection I get to have with each of my clients and the trust that they put in me.

Can’t wait for this Taco-Wood wedding 🪩🤍✨

Ps. Can disco balls be the official new mistletoe??

Hi!! 👋 I figured these photos were the perfect opportunity to re-introduce myself!

My name is Shelby Herfst, and I was born & raised in Fraser Valley, BC. I absolutely love where I live and I’m also constantly dreaming of living coastal 🌊

I feel the most full when hanging out with loved ones, outside, and creating memories.

I began my photography journey in 2016, to capture my work as a makeup artist. A couple years later I spent time in El Salvador working with to really kick-off my career, and lived out a dream there 💭

For over 6 years I’ve been managing social media accounts and growing my photography with a focus on Brand & Lifestyle.

I feel so grateful to have been fully self-employed for nearly two years and be a contributing part in supporting my husband and I financially, while also working hard to have balance in life 🎀

Colin and I just passed our two year wedding anniversary and it’s been such a fantastic time! We’ve visited 7 different countries together and I am just so obsessed with exploring with him ♥️

I’m very excited right now because for the first time in my life I’m going to EUROPE next month! 🇩🇪🇨🇿🇮🇹

🌸 The good news is, I still have some availability for bookings in both April & May, the perfect months for some spring photoshoots!

🌸 Save this for your reference, but also now is the time to reach out for booking! I’ll be checking my email occasionally while I’m gone.

As someone who is self-employed this is a bit of a scary trip to take as I haven’t taken more than a weekend off in two years!!

HAPPY SPRING!
