Soy Selena | I’m Selena (aka Selly)

Proud Mexican-American | Latina photographer, based in South Central Pennsylvania, and serving the York and Adams regions into Northern Maryland but I’ll let the Universe take me and my camera anywhere. I’m wired to look out for those moments in peoples’ lives that will bring some emotion and tears when looking back 50 years down the road in life. You will remember the exact feeling you felt in that moment of time through my art.

Most of my photography training and knowledge is all self-taught, the rest is what I’ve picked up from professionals and mentors who have taken the chance on me. I was a member of the Yearbook Staff for my last two years of high school, a hard time in life as it usually is in adolescence, and it brought out a passion in me that has only been fueled by the beauty of life around me. I bought a Canon Rebel in 2014 with my McDonald’s paycheck, and a few years later, a nifty-fifty and several other lenses, and a little MacBook Pro to keep my creative neurons firing at all times; and I haven’t stopped since. My collection of equipment has grown as much as my passion to create a special memory has.

I left for college in 2016, came back home after a few years, met a tall, bearded guy with a resemblance to Post Malone, a kind heart and humorous personality, who ended up being my partner for life. We live in a small house outside of the hills in Hanover, PA with our daughter, our two dogs, a chihuahua and pitbull; two fat cats and SEVEN crazy chickens. My hands are pretty full most days but I never have too much going on to stop and just take a picture of whatever makes me feel something.

Can’t wait to connect and create with you.
