HEY, I’M CHELSEA!
I am an adventure seeker, dog-mom, and might have a slight addiction to dark chocolate and Scotch. I enjoy rock climbing, traveling, and watching hockey.
I discovered photography at 13, and it was an immediate love affair. In 2012, I graduated from Millikin University with my BF in Photography and Design, and started my career as a Photo Post-Production and Retouching Specialist. Since then, I have since worked with several of the best photographers in the St. Louis and Seattle area, and set out with my own business in 2017.
I have also spent some time traveling around and finding my favorite parts of photography. I love creating whimsical photos that are both playful and emotional, that really allow my subjects to be themselves. I do what I can to create true-to-life, colorful, and sun-drenched images of your dreams.
So, are you ready to make some magic together?
