MORE THAN JUST A Photographer

If you’re looking for a photographer who will guide you gently, let you be fully present, and preserve the moments you’ll want to return to years from now, you’re in the right place.

BOOK WITH ME

I wanna talk about me

IT’S YOUR GIRL Chelsi!

Smiling woman with dark hair, wearing denim jacket and black top, sitting on a light-colored couch against a white wall.

“I love to read, and I don't believe that you have to finish one book before you start another."

Hey, girl! Let’s get real about what this experience looks like! I’m not just a vendor that you found on google, but a friend who is invested in telling your story in a truly magical way.

Your love story is unique and your photographer should be too. You won’t find any awkward posing or overdone filters with me. We are never ever getting back together with those 80’s prom vibes!! Let’s get real and have some fun, because that is where the magic really happens.

Let’s get jiggy wit it!

let's chat already!

Now let’s Talk about You!

What inspires me most? I’ve always loved the light sitting with my husband in the morning, drinking coffee, my boys playing legos at the table - it can make an ordinary moment extraordinary.

Most afternoons you can find me sitting on my beach towel reading the latest self-help book and watching the boys surf right off the coast of Mendocino. For all the little moments like the feeling you got when you met, to big moments like embarking on life’s adventures together I’m obsessed with all the details of your love story!

I'm a sucker for you!

If you want to take your wedding or engagement photos under a waterfall, or in the ocean, or in a forest, or rolling around on the ground, she is right there encouraging you to do what feels right. I cannot give her higher regards.”She truly loves and supports your love and makes it come across in photographs. She’s brilliant, and goes above and beyond to get the shot.

“Chelsi and her services were 10/10! I’m telling everyone I know!”
“Chelsi was SO MUCH FUN to work with! From the first email she was so warm and personable. We loved the engagement session that came with our wedding package because it gave us a chance to meet her and get more comfortable with her before our wedding. She made us feel so comfortable, her prompts were easy and fun and it was like we forgot we were in front of the camera. She made the wedding day go so smoothly and made us feel at ease! She even took us out for a drink after the ceremony when we needed a breather before rejoining our families. Not only was she a true joy to work with, but the photos turned out incredible! Cannot recommend her enough!”
