About Shelby

Motherhood And Newborn Photographer

Shelby Vilate, Photographer

The Unplanned Moments Are Usually the Best Ones

I'm Shelby, a mum, a photographer, and someone who genuinely cannot get enough of newborns, which is a great way to scratch the baby itch, much to my husband's relief. I photograph motherhood in all its forms, from bumps and brand new babies through to the chaos of family life and everything in between.

My sessions are warm, relaxed, and never rushed. I have been a mum long enough to know that things rarely go to plan, and honestly the unplanned moments are usually the best ones anyway.

I am based in Coorparoo, Brisbane and work with families across South East Queensland from a studio that was built to make sessions with little ones feel relaxed and easy.

My Approach

Warmth

You will feel it the moment you walk in. The studio is a calm, welcoming space and I want every family to leave feeling like the experience was just as good as the photos.

Patience

Nothing here is rushed. Ever. Sessions move at whatever pace your family needs and the photos are always better for it.

Artistry

I care deeply about the quality of every image I deliver. Natural light, thoughtful composition, and a soft editing style that will look just as beautiful on your wall in twenty years.

I'd love to hear about your family and talk through what's right for you.
