I started my photography business completely unintentionally in high school when I was around 16 years old, a friend of mine asked me if she could hire me to take her senior photos. Taking the time to rediscover inspiration makes me want to create something that connects me with other people who are all experiencing their own idiosyncratic blip in this cosmic universe.Īlright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more? Sometimes you can get stuck in a rut and it’s hard to find the little things that make you want to create art, so whenever I notice myself lacking inspiration, I am reinvigorated by taking the time in my life to just breathe and really feel all of those small things that make life what it is.

The internet is genuinely a great place to find inspiration because there are so many people sharing their ideas and photos and it’s so easy for me to see someone’s drawing of a flower and think, wow, it would be so cool to incorporate that idea into my next photoshoot. I scroll through Instagram or Facebook and see quotes about love, heartbreak, or perseverance, and I look to plan photoshoots that embody those feelings. Even playing with my dog at the dog park will inspire me to want to create an image incorporating my dog running carefree with the stunning colors of the sunset as a backdrop every time I feel happy or peaceful or see something beautiful, it inspires me to create something. I find inspiration when I’m having a game night with my friends and we’re all a little tipsy and laughing so hard our faces hurt it makes me want to capture that moment in a photo so that we will always remember it. The people I have the honor of photographing inspire me every time to push the boundaries with my art, and honestly their excitement is contagious and continues to fuel ideas for ways to celebrate them. I take photos to help boost their confidence and give them art that they can look at and feel as amazing as I think they are.

I want to help people - especially women, as that’s my primary demographic - to feel empowered in their bodies. There’s something so beautiful about photographing the uniqueness of every individual and turning them into art. I love photographing landscapes and flowers, but my passion for photography is in photographing people. I find inspiration in all of the little moments in life and in the people I meet. We had the good fortune of connecting with Shelby Hoving and we’ve shared our conversation below.
