I am based in Placer County in Northern California and specialize in candid, emotive maternity, lifestyle newborn and family photography.
I am a wife and mother to one very spirited and sweet daughter. When I became a mother myself I finally understood how true the saying is "the days are long but the years are short". This fleeting chapter of life deserves to be celebrated. I am here to ensure these precious moments are documented forever. Parenthood is messy, raw, exhausting but it is also the most wonderful and rewarding part of life.
I am drawn to images that evoke emotion and show personality. I do not strive for perfection but rather a pure, heartfelt visual story of your unique and beautiful family.
Imagine being able to sit down with your babies in 30+ years from now and show them not only what their family looked like, but also how they interacted together. The connections between their siblings and parents and the deep bond within their family. When we are no longer here, our children will thank us for giving the gift of irreplaceable memories with their parents.
Your family is the inspiration for my art.
"After having an amazing experience with Chelsea for my mama & baby photos, I immediately booked her for family photos. Chelsea was truly awesome! Her professionalism and welcoming nature made our family photoshoot a success. We absolutely love the final pictures and I was amazed by her client closet!"
"We were looking for a family photographer to capture our new family of three and found Chelsea through Instagram. From the beginning she was incredibly helpful, helped us plan outfits and and got to know us so she could find the perfect location for our session. She has an amazing eye and editing skills are unmatched! Thank you so much for an incredible experience and beautiful photos we will cherish forever!"

"Being pregnant with our last child, we wanted to find the perfect photographer to capture our special moments before baby arrives. I found Chelsea and fell in love with her work! She was very quick to respond and was very impressed with the entire process and her attention to detail. She has a friendly & inviting personality that erases any awkwardness!"
