Hi! I'm Shelby Noftsger :)

I am a photographer based in Central Kentucky. I was born and raised in Lexington, KY. The summer of 2017, I met my best friend and now husband, Jack Noftsger. He proposed in March of 2020...right before COVID! I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education in May of 2020. Right out of college, I began my career as a Kindergarten teacher and in October of 2020, we got married! We now live in Frankfort, Kentucky.


March 6th, 2022, our baby girl, Madelyn Elaine, was born!! Then, 2 years later, Anna Grace was born on August 28th, 2024. They are our little blessings from God. They bring us so much joy!! My favorite thing is watching both of them grow into little lights for Jesus.


I started Shelby N. Photography in 2020 after being asked if I would take a family member’s engagement photos; I fell IN LOVE with it. I adore capturing all the love, smiles, and special moments! One of my favorite parts of photography are all people I have met and the friends I have made. I love getting to know my clients and hope that we all leave your session/wedding as friends. I am so happy you are here and cannot wait to work with you!
