Hey y’all! I’m Shelby, the photographer behind Double S W Photography. To read more about my story, click the next slide!
My journey with photography started back in middle school when I joined the yearbook class, and from there, everything just clicked. I began with a simple hobby of photographing nature, pets, and school sports. Throughout high school, I dove deeper into yearbook and, by my junior and senior years, I had the privilege of serving as Editor in Chief. I led my classmates, helping direct and guide the creative process, and was honored to receive the Yearbook Academic Award in both my junior and senior years.
During my sophomore year of college, I finally invested in my own camera after years of borrowing, and by August and September of 2023, I decided to turn my passion into a business. That’s when Double S W Photography was born. Since then, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to capture beautiful moments for seniors, families, and couples, and I can’t wait to continue growing in this field!
My story:
Why We Believe in the Good Stuff!
There’s something special about a life well lived, especially with the people you love, the places that feel like home, the traditions you carry with you, and the moments that become stories you tell for years to come.
Double S W Photography is here to document it all. From the everyday to the once-in-a-lifetime, we capture the beauty in your story with a Southern heart and an honest eye.
Get to know me!
I love to hunt!
It started before I was even born. From growing up in the deer stand and duck blind to chasing whatever season is open, that passion for the outdoors has never left me. There’s just something about early mornings and sitting in the woods or on the water waiting for that moment that keeps me coming back every year.
Whether I’m in a deer stand, tucked into a duck blind, or just enjoying a day outdoors, hunting has always been more than a hobby to me. It’s the memories, the people, the tradition, and the time spent outside that make it so special.
FUN FACT: My fiancé and I got engaged while we were duck hunting… so now waterfowl season will always hold an extra special place in my heart! 🦆🤍
Meet DARLA!
Darla is my precious wiener dog. She has a ton of nicknames: Doo, DAR DAR, DOULA, DOODLES, DARLY, you get the idea. Let's be real, she runs the show around here! 99% of the time she'll be at a session with me.
mArgherita pizza = favorite
If you know me, you know a good margherita pizza is my favorite. There’s something about a classic Margherita pizza that’s just unbeatable. It’s the kind of pizza that never gets old, and no matter where I am, it’s always my go-to. There’s just something magical about the few ingredients that hits different.
I'm an AG COMM Alum from ABAC!
I graduated in May 2026 with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Communications from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. During my time at ABAC, I had the opportunity to serve as President of the Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow (ACT) chapter, where I gained valuable leadership experience, built meaningful connections, and was given opportunities that helped shape my career.
I’m incredibly thankful for the decision to attend ABAC and for everyone who played a part in my college journey. As I step into this next chapter, I’m excited to take everything I’ve learned with me and see where this journey leads!
Detail Photos!!!!
Detail photos are my absolute favorite! I love capturing the little things that often go unnoticed but hold so much meaning. There’s something special about those small moments, and they always add such depth and emotion to the overall story of the shoot.
Here is a detail photo I shot at the ABAC Bulls & Broncs Rodeo. View the gallery under the "Portfolio' tab!
My Fiance, hunter!
I got engaged in December of 2025, with plans to get married in the spring of 2027, and we are SO excited for this next journey as one! As I continue to grow my business, you might see Hunter behind the camera with me! Hunter is a Lineman and is so hardworking and determined. I'm so blessed to call him my soon-to-be husband.
