Hi, I am Shelby Chesnut

the rest of the gang who makes CF AgriFilm
Not your typical photographer. Most of the time I don’t even claim myself as a photographer. I am a storyteller, as I capture our family’s life and views of what it’s like to farm. Although, I have to add a disclaimer: As beautiful as these photos are (biased opinion), the farm life can be dirty, frugal and testing on most days. Especially when 5 men and 1 woman, of 2 generations put food on the table for the family and the world.
(Chesnut Farms) Agrifilm, is based out of Kersey, Colorado (but I do travel occasionally to surrounding areas). I am the wife of Chesnut Farms’ oldest son and found a passion for capturing our everyday lives back in 2018 when my husband was gifted a drone. As one thing led to the next, the drone did not get used for its original investment of monitoring crops but for purely entertainment (but no one is complaining). Today, I tend to annoy the boys by constantly being in the way and snapping photos then showcase the life on our social media feeds
I am also blessed to have many opportunities of bringing life to other agriculturalists stories and sharing our story into your home. I hope you enjoy taking a peak at my photos into the life of farming that you may live and appreciate as well, or as just a consumer considering it as a touchable picture book.
