Reviews of Shelly Welch Photography (Photo Studio)

The Sharmas

We have used Shelly's services many times and have always been overjoyed with the product and services. We really feel like Shelly has become part of our family over the years. Taking photos with her has been very comfortable and fun from the start! We recently took newborn photos and it was such a wonderful calming experience. I cannot recommend her enough!

An absolutely SENSATIONAL experience working with Shelly. She is a true artist and master of her work. Emphasis on Artist! Shelly was so amazing with our 100 athletes, extremely patient and kind. The photos were just beyond anything we could have imagined. The parents and athletes were SO thrilled with the finished product. Thanks again Shelly, we can't wait to work with you again!

Shelly is amazing. We knew without hesitation, that we wanted to have our maternity and newborn photos done by her. Shelly's quality of work is excellent. She really puts in the time and it shows. She is patient, caring and very artistic. We are so happy with our beautiful photos to celebrate the birth of our very long awaited baby. They are definitely special and we are so happy we chose Shelly!

Shelly is a true artist. The results are stunning and she works with you to get what you are really looking for. Shelly has done family photos for us twice now and we will be sure to call on her again when our family grows!

Shelly is an amazing photographer with such a nice and easy personality to get along with. She takes into consideration what you would like, and also adds her own touch to things. She captures personalities and always manages to get the perfect shot. I would recommend her for absolutely any kind of photo shoot! Thanks for being so amazing Shelly ❤️????

Shelly is so wonderful! She’s calm, collected and incredibley warm to work with. From the moment you enter her studio you feel relaxed and welcomed. On top of her personality, her talent creates some stunning photographs that I am proud to display. Book with her, you surely will not regret it.

Thank you Shelley for a great photo shoot ! I am thrilled with the pictures. I have a few great ones I can use in my marketing. I hate getting photos done, but you were awesome. Thank you so much.

I had an absolutely amazing time with Shelly! She was so professional and great at giving advice for the perfect photo. She made sure I was comfortable being that I was so close to giving birth, and never once made me rushed. The photos that I have seen and received look absolutely stunning and I would recommend Shelly photography to anyone for any event or occasion! :)

All I can say about having my picture taken is "I hate it".......but Shelly's infectious enthusiasm for capturing the special moments in life won me over. When I was doubting whether I wanted to take photos for my 30th wedding anniversary she told me "images are not only our memories, but part of our family legacy." That struck a note with me and so I booked my session. and now I have a lovely boxed collection of pictures to hand down to my children. Shelly has a knack for understanding her clients personalities and that allows her to create an environment perfect for both the reluctant and enthusiastic client. I look forward to having Shelly photograph the next special occasion in my family.

We met Shelly when looking for a wedding photographer, and we instantly connected with her warmth & openness. Every meeting with Shelly was productive & her excitement for her work was palpable. On the day of our wedding Shelly had everyone feeling at ease, none of our guests felt a disconnect which made the photos even better! Just the personal touches and attention Shelly gives to working with you, as well as her quick responses to any kind of contact really makes her a pleasure to work with. We look forward to many more opportunities in the future to work together.

Shelly is amazing! There were so many wonderful things about working with her - her attention to detail, all the thoughtful and beautiful touches, super clear and responsive communications, and incredible photos at the end of it. She is so so warm and an absolute delight to spend time with. A true professional.

Tammy James

Shelly was and is very professional. Her attention to detail was appreciated as our pictures turned out fantastic!!! She chatted with us, making us feel comfortable while she took our pictures. She understood exactly what I was looking for and delivered!! We all enjoyed her thoughtful little gifts. Would and will highly recommend!

Rosemary Roblin

Shelly came to our rescue when we had to cancel our Portland wedding and have it home. She, and her work, are amazing! Thank you for everything Shelly! Jessie and Rosemary Roblin

I had a fun photoshoot with Shelly in the summer and would recommend her to anybody. My shoot was outside in various locations, she was able to see the back drops that would work best for me and the theme we were working towards. I was a bit nervous since it was my first photo shoot, but she has a way to make people feel natural and authentic through out the shoot. I find her to be professional and extremely patient and her sense of humour always lightens the mood. I was really amazed with the the final outcome. I can’t wait to do future projects with her!

Ed and Wendy Kwiatkoski

Shelly is an amazing photographer. She captures moments you don't necessarily see until you see it in a photo. We are always amazed by her talent... and she has a fantastic personality to go with it! We've had her photograph 2 of our children's graduation days and both times she went above and beyond what we expected. You only get one chance to get those special photos of your special day and Shelly does that! We look forward to working with you again soon Shelly... and again, thank-you!! xo

Scott Neil

Shelly was very professional and we felt comfortable and she treated us like family, I would highly recommend her for all your photography needs.

Lena Fernandes

I had baby pictures done for my first child and I was happy with them. Then I went to Shelley for my second child - and now I feel badly I didn't take my first one to her. Her work is outstanding. She was excellent and even took a few bonus pictures of my first born too! She takes her time with you and takes so many photos that you get a good spread to look at. I also love the video she puts together for her clients and the general presentation of the work. Definitely an experience to remember!

Kandyce W

So accommodating and easy to work with. My kids were instantly at ease in the photos. Beautiful end product and all the little personal touches let you know that Shelly has a passion and an obvious talent for what she does.

marlena nessel

Shelly is an amazing person, amazing to work with. Great photographer, great vision. We can’t recommend her enough. We were her first clients after the covid lockdown and we felt safe and welcomed every step of the way. She went above and beyond (and continues to) for us. We are very lucky to call her our friend now and we are looking forward to our next photoshoot with her. Just a side note - my boyfriend HATES pictures and after our newborn experience with Shelly, he is asking when we are booking again! Lol Seriously- book with her, you will not regret it.

Scott MacLean

I have worked with Shelly on a number of different occasions and whether they are family photos, bridal pictures, or boudoir photography, she never fails to produce beautiful, portfolio worthy images. As a makeup artist, I have had the opportunity to work with so many talented photographers, but there's something about the clean, beautiful, and almost ethereal finished product that Shelly creates that makes her stand out. She is professional, fun, down to earth, and such a pleasure to work with, I would highly recommend Shelly Welch Photgraphy to any of my clients.

Katie Sheppard

Shelly is the absolute best! So sweet and thoughtful, and always made our many photo shoots wonderful experiences! And the images are of the highest quality. I couldn't recommend her enough!

Teresa O'Neill

Im so glad i chose to work with Shelly. Not only is her art stellar but she is also a real person a mother, wife, friend and she is very personable. I felt so comfortable with her and letting her work with my newborn. I find it hard to trust people who dont invite you into their life. I was a part of Shelly's life the second i walked in the door. To add to her greatness.....the photos she took of my adorable baby are amazing and real. No huge props and foofy stuff taking away from the baby, its all focused on the baby's perfect features and they are amazing. I will definitely go back to her for more photos...Probably a mommy and me shoot ???? definitely recommend this lovely lady! -Teresa O

Shelly is more than a photographer, she is an artist, and the portraits she creates are stunning works of art. I always wanted to have beautiful portraits of my family and I could not be happier with the end result. Besides her creativity, Shelly also runs her business with such professionalism. I was very impressed with how quickly she responded to my questions or requests throughout the process, all the while being very personable. This whole experience has been so enjoyable and seamless from start to finish. I enthusiastically recommend her to you!

Chandan Gill

Shelly is an amazing photographer and a sweetheart to work with. Her work speaks for itself as she creates beautiful pictures and memories for your family. She not only put me at ease but was kind and gentle with my baby girl. I was blown away by the quality of her work and her cookies ;-) I would recommend Shelly to anyone who is looking to capture their memories in photos. She is creative, warm, never rushes you and a true professional. I love my pictures and albums she created. I hope to see her again in the near future!!

Shelly is truly amazing and we are so lucky we found her. She is wonderful with children (extremely patient), provides high quality images at decent prices with quick turnaround time and is very personable. Our toddler loves going to her house as he knows he will get cooks/treats from her! We highly recommend Shelly for all family portraits, especially with young kids involved.

Debbie Davidson

We asked Shelly to take long overdue family pictures. She was thoughtful, kind, patient, very professional, friendly and overall amazing from the picture shoot, to reviewing and ordering the pictures and to the final process of delivery! We highly recommend using Shelly Welch for taking your pictures! We loved our final products from the quality of the pictures to the quality of the product! Thanks Shelly! :)

We recently had our newborn session with Shelly. From start to finish, the entire experience was extraordinary - down to the very last detail. Shelly is a master of her craft! She is extremely professional, organized and kind. Most importantly, she was wonderfully patient and gentle with our newborn. We are so happy with the quality of workmanship - our photos are gorgeous and capture our daughter's personality perfectly. We will treasure these photos for a lifetime. I highly recommend Shelly Welch Photography. Thank you, Shelly! - The McBain Family

Mia Evans

I have not only had the pleasure of knowing Shelly almost my whole life, but I have also had the pleasure of having Shelly photograph my high school graduation as well as many of our family pets. Shelly has a way of capturing moments that will take your breath away. The enthusiasm and love she has for what she does absolutely radiates while working with her and she has a way of making you feel comfortable and relaxed, which can often be hard if you do not like your photo being taken. It is impossible to leave a shoot with her without the biggest smile on your face. What Shelly captures aren't just photos but memories, and I am so thankful to have these to look back on. She is a natural, and great at what she does, and I cannot wait to have her capture more events :)

Mori Evans

Shelly was very professional, the photos are beautiful. We are very happy with the results and it made our parents 60th wedding anniversary memories very special. Thank you so much for everything Shelly.

Brianna Saip

I did both a maternity and new born shoot with Shelly. She made me feel so comfortable through the maternity shoot and we had so much fun with the newborn shoot. She is so talented and so personable, would recommend over and over!

Shelly is fantastic. I hired her for my first professional shoot for my business. I was nervous, but the moment I arrived my nerves faded away. Not only did Shelly put me at ease and make the day really fun, but the photos turned out fabulously! I highly recommend Shelly Welch Photography.

Sara Edwards

If you are looking for clean, natural, beautiful photography – not over styled. Then just put your confidence in Shelly and all will be wonderful. Shelly takes her time, she is very professional and has a brilliant way of interacting with babies children and parents alike. We were delighted. The entire experience from before and during the shoot to the ordering and delivery of products was very efficient but relaxed. The quality of Shelly’s photos is outstanding – with beautiful natural light, so much depth and expression in it. Simply stunning! I absolutely love all of them. Her work is of the highest quality - I have had other photographers before, but I will always go back to her. Thank you Shelly for capturing our first photos as a family of three. - The Edwards Family
