How I ended up here...
It all started when I was 14 years old.
I began taking photos for a boutique in my hometown after convincing my best friend's mom, (shout out Casey) to let me borrow her camera. What started as curiosity quickly became an obsession. I spent hours editing photos on my phone, constantly asking to borrow that camera again, and relentlessly convincing my friends to model for me.
For my high school graduation, my grandparents gave me my very first camera, a Canon Rebel SL3. To this day, it's the best gifts I've ever received.
From that point on, I photographed anyone who would stand in front of my lens. I offered free senior sessions, practiced every chance I got, and spent countless hours learning. When people started telling me I should charge for my work, I was shocked. The idea that I could get paid to do something I genuinely loved had never crossed my mind.
So I started small. Really small. We're talking $15 hour-long sessions.
I created an Instagram account and slowly began building my business. Along the way, I've been incredibly lucky to have amazing mentors, my parents, who looked through every "best session yet," and friends who patiently stood in front of my camera for what felt like the 128,239th time.
As the years went on, my camera became an extension of me. It came to grad parties, football games, road trips, walks with my dog, and everywhere in between. I was constantly chasing moments and looking for stories to tell.
Then I brought my camera to a rodeo.
Everything changed.
The dust hanging in the air. The golden light. The intensity of the competition. The emotion on an athlete's face after a run. The rush of capturing the perfect split-second moment. I fell completely in love with it all.
Since then, my passion for photography has only continued to grow. Now, at 20 years old, I've learned more than I ever thought possible, and I'm grateful every day that I get to do what I love. Although Rodeo may be my favorite thing to shoot, I adore everything that requires me to bring my camera.
My goal is simple: create images that make people feel something. The wild moments. The quiet ones. The grit, the joy, the chaos, the beauty. I want to capture it all.
And I'd love for you to be part of that story.
See you soon.

Hey it's me! Selah Skye!
Let's make something epic.
I love creating photos that feel real, wild, and full of Western soul. Dust in the air, golden light, loud laughs, quiet moments, and all the in-between chaos that tells the truth of it. If it’s authentic, colorful, emotional, and uniquely you, I’m already reaching for my camera. Let’s make something epic.
