Hi, I'm Shalene ...

grace-clinger, wife, and part-time homeschooling mama to five. Prior to my induction into motherhood, I was a magazine editor and writer, and it was in the publishing world that I fell in love with the fusion of words + imagery. My husband gifted me my first DSLR shortly after, and my genuine love of photography was born.

Now when not wading knee-deep through LEGOs, you'll find me photographing my own family or a handful of clients, running my vintage rug boutique, Lily & Loom, or blogging at FaithAndComposition. It was there that I penned my popular post, “When Mothering is Hard and No One Sees,” which has had more than 600,000 views worldwide.

As a mom of five, I have a unique knack for photographing families and children in a natural, engaging way. I take a small handful of clients in the Dallas/Fort Worth area each year, and I would consider it an honor to discuss your photography needs.
