meet the creator behind sunny cowboy studios

Hi, I'm Shel! Thank you for being here. I was born and raised in Montana and have spent the past decade soaking up life as a local in San Diego. There is something really special about the way the sun sprinkles its magic on everything - it feels like a gift to to me when I capture it, every single time. I've been chasing the feeling of the sun since I was a little girl, gazing out my bedroom window as the snow fell... dreaming of living in California. After reflecting on a new chapter in my life and my journey as a creative and marketing director, the name came to me with such clarity on a walk.

I created this space as a full creative getaway for humans and businesses to co-create and empower each other (and let's be real... shelflessly play during the sunny hours - see what I did there?).
