NORTHERN COLORADO FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Modern Heirloom Portraiture
Gallery-Worthy Memories for Your Wall
As a Fort Collins family photographer I create heirloom-quality portraits made to be passed down through generations.
Time moves quickly…
And your family will never look exactly the way it does right now. Any parent or guardian knows that kids grow up in the blink of an eye. I’ve seen that firsthand with my own son. He’s all grown up now, and the photos I have of him when he was little are some of my most treasured possessions.
That’s why I specialize in capturing memories.
Time with our families is precious, but fleeting. That’s why I am so passionate about helping you freeze that time for you. So you can always look back fondly on this time with gorgeous, museum-quality photos that not only help you to reconnect to the past but also enhance the beauty of your home and your walls.

Popular Family Photo Shoot Types
Shelley Schaffer Fine Art Photography is family portraiture elevated to custom artwork for your home. I specialize in artistic, emotive portraits of children. The images I create as a Fort Collins family photographer are timeless, high-quality photos that will look at home with the rest of your most prized art over your mantle or behind your couch — now and 100 years from now.
Babies
My studio is the perfect, cozy spot to capture all the little details. We’ll capture those goofy grins and sweet thigh rolls. I have an extensive baby client closet full of the cutest outfits, I’ve got you covered.
Children
With unwavering energy, it can be difficult to get great pictures of your kids. But I’ve got years of experience doing just that, starting ages ago with my own son, Ethan.
Seniors & Teens
Is your little one all grown up and headed off to college or the workforce? Capture their potential at this important moment in time with our natural, elevated portraits.

Hi there. I’m Shelley, the person behind the lens.
I’m a mom, an artist and a photographer with more than 15 years of experience behind the camera. Outside of work, I love traveling, gardening, fly fishing, and hanging with friends and family.
