Greetings, I'm Shanell Antoinette, a proud native of Washington, DC, currently aged 33. My journey as a freelance photographer began in 2017, and since then, I've immersed myself in my craft with unwavering determination.
​
I embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and constantly push myself to acquire new skills and excel in them. While my heart beats for film photography, my skills extend across various genres, including beauty, fashion, and event photography. Capturing special moments through my lens brings me immense joy.
​
The name Nellstalgia is more than just a brand; it's an ode to my late father who gave me my first camera and inspired me to become a photographer. "Nell" is the nickname he lovingly adorned me with, and "Nostalgia" represents that warm feeling of reminiscing about happy memories. It's my mission to infuse this sentiment into my photography, providing my clients with "Moments in Focus, Memories Forever."
