THE GAL
BEHIND THE LENS
With 10 years of experience, I offer natural, understated photos for couples and creatives who love the in-between moments.
A BIT ABOUT ME
Hello! I'm a WNC native, originally from nearby Sylva and now proudly rooted in Asheville since 2014 which is the same year I started Chelsea Lane Photography!
After spending years both living and exploring outside this region, my heart led me back to this sweet city that sits in the mountains.
I began my work-life in the hospitality industry which is why thoughtful customer service is in my bones. I slowly made the move from working in hotels to working for myself as a photographer over 10 years ago.
As a homebody and introvert, you'll often find me in South Asheville, working, sitting on the porch and playing with our doggies. My husband and I eloped in the fall of 2013 and, ever since, we've been wholeheartedly carving out a nice and simple little life.
Are you visiting the area? I recommend an unhurried drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway and stopping off for a hike + picnic!

WHAT INSPIRES ME LATELY









MY PHILOSOPHY
01. CHARMING
Stripped down from all the fluff, all that's left is what matters. I want to show the beauty in the ordinary, a slice of life that makes you feel something.
02. NATURAL
Most clients work with me because they want natural images and to feel like themselves! I like to capture moments as they're experienced, with little to no influence from me.
03. HONEST
No stiff posing, no over-editing and no trying to turn you into someone you’re not. Your images will be perfectly imperfect with an understated edit.
