HI, THANKS FOR BEING HERE!


I'm Shelby Miller.


I'm a twenty-something married to my best friend- who is often my right-hand-man at a shoot + my lifelong adventure partner. I'm a mama to three amazing kids that joined our family through international adoption in May of 2021. It's a privilege and honor to get to be their mama. We are journeying through all the loss and gain, brokenness and beauty that comes with it.


I am a photographer & an ESL teacher. My work as a photographer and teacher both started about six years ago, and it's been a really incredible experience to grow in both my areas of work. One common thread between both my passions is getting to meet and interact with some of the most amazing people & hear their stories.


Jesus Christ is my firm foundation for everything I do. I am a bond-servant for Christ, to bring about His work for His glory. Whether it be taking photos or teaching grammar, loving God's people + serving Him through sharing the good news of His Son is what I'm all about!


I'm here to serve YOU.

Are you a foster parent, adoptive parent, refugee or a missionary?


If you are- I'm now offering a special PAY WHAT YOU CAN package just for you!

There are many things I'm passionate about, but my work with refugee families, my role as an adoptive mother, and my love for reaching people with the good news of Jesus are at the TOP of my list. And I want to serve YOU in that role.


As a foster/adoptive parent I KNOW how precious photos can be to you. Maybe you don't have any pictures of a certain time in your child's life before they were with you, I know how hard that can be. Don't let the investment of family photos stop you from getting pictures now. Let's talk about a PWYC family session!


I'll never forget sitting with a table of my ESL students (all refugees) and discussing that they lost EVERY single photo they ever had of their family, their weddings, themselves, etc. It BROKE me as a photographer. If you're a refugee, I'd love to provide some current photographs to you that you can keep forever.


If you serve as a missionary, I know you're constantly needing updated pictures, especially as your kids are growing and changing. I would be so happy to offer you a PWYC package to help you keep photos updated and take the stress off of needing more. Even if you are a single person, a couple, or a large family- Let's talk about how I can serve you!

“I had the best experience working with Sojourn. She recently did a maternity shoot for me with my 2 year old. She was so easy to work with and honestly made me feel super relaxed and comfortable In our session together. I am so excited about the way all the photos turned out and will honestly cherish them forever. I typically don’t love any pictures of myself but Shelby captured so many pictures that I really love of my family. It’s so special to have pictures that I truly love with my two little girls.”
