“I’ve worked with Shelly twice and am always in awe of her incredible talent and eye for capturing the most meaningful moments. After unexpectedly losing my beloved horse just a month after our first session, I’m forever grateful she preserved that final memory for me. She makes every session feel comfortable and fun, goes above and beyond for her clients, and delivers the most beautiful images you’ll treasure forever. If you want the best photographer — and a genuinely wonderful person — Shelly is your girl.”

“I cannot recommend Painted Oak Photography enough! Shelly photographed me and my horse in Tuscaloosa and made me feel like a true model while capturing my horse’s personality perfectly. Even in the August heat, she was patient, thoughtful, and went above and beyond — from helping with outfits to making sure my horse stayed comfortable. You won’t regret booking a session with her!”
