hey, I'm Chelsea
your photographer
I'm a mama of two, happily married, and the face behind the lens. When we aren't captured in our own family photos, you can find us embracing the great outdoors-we are truly an active family that dives headfirst into every season, whether we are hiking through summer trails or playing in the winter snow. That chaotic, beautiful energy of family life is exactly what inspires my work. Because I know what it's like to be in your shoes, I truly lead every session with kindness, laughter, and playful prompts rather than stiff posing. I care deeply about your entire experience from the moment we meet to the final product, pouring just as much heart into making our time together fun and relaxed as I do into the meticulous editing side to deliver a beautiful, timeless gallery you will cherish forever.
My approach
My priority is to create a safe, warm environment where everyone feels completely at ease.
I then trade stiff, unnatural poses for genuine smiles. If your kids are running wild, we will lean into it. If they're shy and safe in your arms, we will switch to snuggly poses. The magic always happens in the messy, joyful, real moments.
Instead of telling you to "say cheese" I use fun, interactive prompts. I might ask you to whisper something silly, have a family race, or share a giant group hug to bring out your family's true personality.
Let’s work together
