Experience
You don’t need to know how to pose, style or direct. I’ll guide the entire process in a way that feels natural and unforced. I also know when to step back for true moments to unfold without interruption.
“Her ideas, her skills, her amazing talent helped create such a wonderful wedding. Our pictures are better than we could have ever imagined. She took what she knew our aesthetics were and created this magical world. My wife and I have enjoyed every moment working with Chelsea. If you are looking for a photographer for any reason - Chelsea is the one!” -Cynthia Janda
1. Get in Touch
Reach out with your date and a few details about your plans or project. I’ll share availability, package options and a bit about what working together looks like.
We’ll set up a call to get acquainted, and once you’re ready, a signed agreement and 50% retainer secure your date on my calendar.
Working together
2. Align & Plan
Whether you're planning a wedding or a brand session, I'll help you figure out what matters most and build the photos around that.
Behind the scenes, I'm highly organized and proactive. You'll always know what comes next and I’ll guide you through details so everything feels smooth and stress-free.
For clients who want more in-depth help shaping their brand photos, I also offer optional planning sessions where we can review your space, wardrobe and visual direction together.
3. Wedding or Photo Session Day
Every project comes with its own goals and rhythm. A wedding day unfolds differently than a brand session, and an interiors project requires a different approach altogether.
My approach remains prepared, intuitive and collaborative. We'll make a plan, but we'll also leave room for play and the unexpected. I believe the strongest photographs come from a balance of both.
4. Detailed Editing
Every photo is edited individually by me. My editing style is understated and natural so the location, the people and the moment remain the focus. In fact, I I love a photo that doesn’t feel edited at all!
You’ll receive a few previews within the first week, and your full online gallery is delivered within roughly 4 weeks.
5. Delivery & Prints
Your gallery is delivered online with high-resolution downloads, full print rights and built-in print ordering options.
Wedding couples will also receive a small drive so your once-in-a-lifetime photos are already backed up twice for you.
Investment
Wedding coverage begins at $1,400 for elopements.
Brand, lifestyle and interiors sessions start at $850, depending on scope of project and usage.
“What we got for her services was beyond my wildest dreams. She had such an artistic eye for the authenticity and the joy of our day - so the photos not only looked beautiful but you can truly see the happiness and truth of our event.”
