begin your experience

I am here to put my clients mind at ease. To make the process of booking, dressing & showing up for family photos feel more a family date night and a lasting happy memory. To learn about you, to laugh with you & capture it all along the way.

Location Guide: Includes photo examples at chosen location, pros and cons as well as how the seasons can impact your session.

Client Closet Access + Styling Guide: Preparing you with cohesive outfits with color coordination tips, shoe recommendations, and access to a versatile client closet, saving time and money.

Welcome Guide: This guide gives you my best advice for the day of your session that may be a little out of the box, what to bring & what to leave at home, PLUS how to talk to your family to get them excited!

There are a couple of steps that I guide you through  and resources I offer prior to our session to make sure you feel completely prepared & excited!

Here every step of the way

Location Details:  I like to get SPECIFIC to make sure there are no questions about where to meet/ find each other and no detail gets left out! Including the best place to park, down to where the best place is to stop along the way for potty breaks ;) 

I am here to hype you up, help you look and feel your very best, & guide the session in a fun and playful way allowing you to be in the moment. The little details, your daughter's pigtails, your son resting on your chest, the way your husband looks at you when you laugh. I strive to capture every detail in an authentic way. I love happy tear inducing galleries. 

 There is nothing better than freezing the little moments in time with the ones you love

My family and I did some photos with Chelsea at the coast over the summer. What a great experience!! Of course- the photos turned out absolutely stunning. But on top of that, Chelsea is such a gem! You can tell immediately after watching her interact with kids that she’s a mama herself, and mine felt comfortable right away because of that. She made everything light and fun for us, and I really think it shows in the photos. She is very organized, great at communicating and her work speaks for itself. - Jaydn
