Heirloom Family Photography in Northern Colorado

My work is distinctive and timeless. I showcase my unique approach in every photo shoot I complete, and I’m proud to share some examples of my work so you can get a feel for my style.

Each shoot and each subject are a little bit different, and I’m always looking for opportunities to blend my aesthetics and my client’s preferences to deliver the best possible result. The goal is also to deliver a piece of heirloom-quality fine art that you will display on your wall for years to come.

Have questions for me about any of the shots below? Or want to talk about how to get the ball rolling on your own session? Get in touch with me, and I’ll be more than happy to help.

“We had Shelley take our Autumn family photos, and we loved how they turned out. She was patient, enthusiastic, gave us good direction for how to pose, and had a great eye for scenery — all while listening to us and any ideas we had.”

Shelley Schaffer Fine Art Photography elevates traditional portraiture to a whole new level beyond what most families are used to. I specialize in artistic, emotive portraits that truly capture the essence of their subjects. These images aren’t trendy or beholden to the styles of today. We’re talking timeless, high-quality photography 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.
