Freezing Time, Capturing Life
At Shifted Focus Photography, we believe that every moment, big or small, is worthy of being cherished and remembered. That's why we're dedicated to capturing the beauty and authenticity of your life's journey through documentary-style wedding and family photography. Our approach is simple: we want to tell your story, the way it's meant to be told - without staging, posing, or pretenses. We believe that the most genuine, heartfelt moments are often the ones that aren't planned, but happen naturally, and that's exactly what we're here to capture.
Our Story
As a former professional actress and singer, I (Mel) always had a way with words, but it wasn't until I picked up a camera that I found my true calling. I discovered that I could use photography to tell stories that weren't scripted, but were just as powerful and meaningful. After years of honing my craft, I founded Shifted Focus Photography, alongside my husband Kevin, who is also my partner in every sense of the word. Together, we're on a mission to capture the essence of your life, from the quiet moments to the grand celebrations.
