"Shelby,
The time has come for me to finally write down how wonderful you are. I mean, it's not like, I haven't told you somewhere in the comments before. You're such an inspiring person, I love how all your pictures are emotional, VERY emotional. You never seem afraid to show your feelings and I think that's beautiful.
Thank you for sharing all the emotion and stories. Thank you for inspiring me."

"Hai Shelby.
I've been stalking you for such a long time. :3
And when you added me as a contact on Flickr, I was like "ajfdskljlgjdflkgjad 8DDDDDDDDDDDDD"

Moving on from the creepiness, I love your stream.
There is so much emotion in all of your photographs.
Every photograph has a deep meaning that you put thought and effort into taking.

Another element that you seem to master is lighting.
Oh my goodness, you sure as hell know how to take control of lighting.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU HAVE A WHIP, AND YOU'RE LIKE "WHIPLASH. YOU. MAKE SHADOWS HERE. BE EPIC FOR MY PHOTOGRAPH. DO IT. *WHIPLASH"
The lighting in every one of your photographs takes it to another level. :3

Uhm. You inspire me in every way possible, and if there's any stream that I could put on replay forever in a slideshow, it's be yours.
kk.
(:

I love your work, Shelby. (:

- Jessica! :D
(Sorry if that testimonial was really creepy- I really like your photography :D!)

PS. You're really pretty. (:
like, really really really pretty. :D"

"Why on Earth has it taken me so very long to write a testimonial for you?!
I don't know.
But I'm so glad to have been contacts with you on flickr for as long as I have. You were one of the people on here who made me feel at home here when I was first getting into photography. You were always encouraging and helpful and wonderful, even when I was pretty terrible. ;)
You've grown so much as a photographer and that's so evident in your work. Your photos are so raw and full of emotion, and you know just how to evoke feeling in your viewers.

You're lovely. :)"

William/Galt0719 says:

"Wandering among galleries most of my life, I have seen some great pieces of art, photographs that stay with you, and artistry that connects with the observer in real, tangible and memorable ways. There is something precise about the pure honesty in Shelby's images that combined with her artistic sense, and her willingness to be open about herself and her feelings, that ends up imbuing her work with a sense of timelessness and modern classicism that makes everything she does stand out. If I were to open a gallery tomorrow, there would be a place for Shelby.

Because her work is that good."

"and yet for some reason i thought i have written you

how you tie scriptures into each one. you are so good."

alt.identity says:

"Your photos provoke emotions I keep hidden because I don't know how to express myself.
You feel, and you help me feel with a little help from your words. The photos you post...the words you write...we are probably dealing with completely different, nonrelated things, but you've helped me more than you'll ever know.
So thank you, so so much, and I look forward to keep learning from you and your photos in the future :)"

"your photos amaze me.

sopranosflight says:

"Shelby's photos never fail to move me. I love the emotion contained in them, the honesty, and the colors. The use of light and conversations with others and God in her writing also moves me.

Shelby is the one who inspired me to try to express myself more through my pictures. Seeing various facets of her made me appreciate the fact that she's not afraid to share what she's feeling or going through. She's very brave to do so, and she does such a marvelous job of it."

"Shelby's photography is some of the best I've ever seen; it's unique, inspirational and emotional. Every photo is something different and you can tell it truly comes from her heart. Not only is she an amazing photographer, she is also wonderful to talk to and every time I check her stream I'm always excited to see what she has to say :) God has truly blessed her with a gift that will touch other people just as it has continued to touch me :)"

JenavieveMarie says:

"Every photo is amazing in its own way, each has it's own small detail somewhere that makes it all around magnificent. You've mastered lighting and your emotion shows through in each photo you take. Not only do I love looking through your stream, but I love how each picture I come across evokes a different emotion in me every time."

"I don't know very much about photography, but I know this girl takes ridiculously wonderful pictures. She knows what she is doing for sure. There is something very special about the pictures we take together and the subjects we use...but maybe I'm biased cuz I'm so close to her. ;) Ily this girl so much. She rocks the photography world. A simply beautiful friend I have."

"I just stumbled upon your photostream a few days ago and I am already so impressed.
First of all, and most importantly, you are proud of your faith and I think that is so important! God gave you this talent and you are now giving it back to him. Really, it's great to see you proclaiming His name.
Second, you have so much talent! The ideas you have and the messages you put through your photos are incredible. There is always something behind each photo and I enjoy seeing the emotion you produce.
Third, you do such an amazing job with light! The way you use it is fantastic!
Fourth, your tones are gorgeous. You never fail to use amazing colors and tones in every photo. They add so much to each one!
Fifth, I could easily comment on every single picture, but I will refrain because then the comments will lose their excitement and meaning. But really, I would comment on so so many if I had the time!
All in all, you truly know what you are doing with photography and it shows. Every time you upload a photo I am excited to see what you've done. Keep up the amazing photos girl :]"

Mr. Whims says:

"One of the most truly inspiring streams on flickr belongs to Sheltered Willow. No matter what emotion it is she is portraying, Shelby captures it in the most vivid, beautiful way. She is an artist in how she is able to make the light play to her whims as if she is a conductor of her own private symphony. My eyes anxiously wait for each new photo to be added to her stream."

L.A. Birdie Photography says:

"Shelby hasn't been my contact for very long, so I may edit this in the future :) but one thing that she really has in her work, and very wonderfully, is LIGHT :). I'm in love with golden hour light, and she captures it just sooo beautifully. I'm also always really glad to find other Christian female photographers on Flickr. Keep up the good work :D"

"Shelby's photostream is really stunning. She has such a unique way of pouring her emotion and personality into each and every photo she posts. The way she uses light and shadows is incredible as well. She is such a lovely individual, and I hope she never stops taking photos because each one is better than the last and heart-stoppingly beautiful :)"
