A little more about me…

I grew up in Franklin, Ohio, but the love of my life eventually swept me away to his hometown in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, where we’ve made our own little slice of heaven with our two mastiffs, Winston and Maverick. 

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll most likely find me at home. I love all things homemaking, decorating, gardening, cooking, and especially baking. My idea of a perfect evening is an old movie, a cozy couch, and a sweet treat! 

And then there’s my other great love: cars. That’s actually how my fiancé and I met! We both participate in drift events, and yes, we even had matching cars. Needless to say, there’s never a dull moment around here.

At 17, I was modeling for a small business that took me under their wing and taught me so much about the world of photography. A few years later, while attending Miami University, I took a photography course and eventually bought my first professional camera at 19.

Before long, friends and family began asking me to photograph their lives, and somewhere along the way, I fell completely in love with it.

I fell in love with the laughter, the little in-between moments, the genuine connections, and the feeling of giving someone photographs that allow them to relive a season of their life for years to come.

What started as a hobby has grown into a journey I’m incredibly grateful for. Seven years later, I’m still learning, creating, constantly working to perfect my craft and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Now at 25, I’m so excited for everything still ahead and for all the beautiful people and stories I have yet to photograph.

Thank you for being here and for considering Shots By Shi to document something meaningful in your life. It truly means more than you know.
