About Me

I have been in business full time since September 2015 {I’ve been professionally photographing people since 2012} and still can’t believe I get to do what I love everyday for a living. I received my business management and entrepreneurship degree before my photography degree.

I photograph everything: families, newborns, seniors, branding, events, etc. However, my heart is in wedding photography. I love the love. My role is to capture the genuine, beautiful emotions as you marry the love of your life. I'm here to narrate your story. Your love story is unique, and I'm dedicated to immortalizing it with a touch of timeless elegance. My editing style is very natural and true to life so your photos will never be dated. I take a more journalistic approach to wedding days, capturing the day as it is without interruption. There is nothing better than a true genuine smile when someone doesn’t know their photo is being taken. I will absolutely guide you through posing, bringing out your best angles and being your hype girl throughout the entire process.

Non-photography related things about me: I have been with my husband since I was a sophomore in high school. We were married in summer 2018. We have a 4 year old daughter and a 12 year old chocolate lab. I’m the youngest of three and have three nieces. I love the simple things in life like: cuddling my daughter, french fries, margs, pizza, Disney, family dinners, hunting for buckeyes, kayaking, hiking, country concerts, patio dinners with my besties, and anything eucalyptus spearmint.

“Chelsea is an AMAZING photographer! She is so kind-hearted and knows just what to do to get the best photos! Her sweet personality and helpful nature made working with her during our wedding planning process so much easier as she was there to help with anything we needed. During the shoots she would always ask if there were any particular kinds of photos that we wanted, along with the ones she would naturally take. Let me tell you though, if you take her advice and let her lead you at your shoot, the pictures that you will get will be PHENOMENAL!!! We HIGHLY recommend using Chelsea!”

Lola H

"Chelsea took our family pics last fall. We have four unruly kids and she was great! She got good ones of all the kids and the whole family! She was patient with them and did an amazing job!”

“I chose Chelsea from the preferred vendors list and I couldn't have been more amazed by how my pictures turned out. She was flexible on the day of the wedding, as we were running ahead of schedule and able to get a lot of photos done early. She didn't miss a beat and just rolled with it. She was fun to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone!!”

“She is absolutely great with my kids. Best Family Pictures we've ever had.”

“Chelsea is incredibly professional, yet so warm and easy to work with, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire day. She took the time to understand our vision and personal style, capturing not only the big moments but also the small, meaningful details we never expected to be highlighted. The photos are breathtaking – each shot is beautifully composed, and they truly tell the story of our day, evoking so many emotions every time we look at them.”
