maternity photos to capture your gorgeous bump,
you just had your newborn baby and can’t wait to have all the tiny features captured in those glorious squishy and sleepy poses,
you’re looking to capture milestone photos of your little one,
your baby somehow grew up and is now a high school senior,
or it is time to update the family portraits (the ones where you look and feel beautiful, too - yes, those!)
…then you’re in the right place! Get comfortable and take a look around. I can’t wait to work with you on creating the most perfect portraits for you, too.
Talk soon!

The Luxury Portrait Experience
Three steps to creating your family’s finely crafted photographic art.
01
The Consultation
You want to capture this amazing moment in your life - whether it is newborn photos or capturing your family as your children get older. Precious moments, and moments you know won’t last forever. I’m here to walk you through the process of doing just that, and making it stress free for you. Lets chat about what type of session you’d like and your availability. Then, we will schedule you to come to the studio for a complimentary session consultation to plan and design a custom photo session for you and your family. We will make the most beautiful photos of your family for your keepsake.
02
Enjoy the Session
You have hired a professional. Relax and enjoy the session! For my Family and Senior sessions, I’ll give you prompts and gentle guidance to get the most natural connection. Many of my clients walk away saying how much fun they had during the session, and the kiddos’ personalities shine through the entire time. For parents of newborns, enjoy some refreshments in the studio while I capture your sweet baby. I provide everything needed for your newborn session (props, wraps, headbands), so it is just one less worry for you. You are sleep deprived - relax while I do the work!
03
The Excitement of Ordering
Within a week, I will contact you to schedule your in-studio viewing and ordering appointment. This is where you will first see your much-awaited photo proofs from your session! You get to select your favorite images that will be fully and professionally edited by me. And with my guided help, you select what images you would like, prints for your home, wall art to hang, and albums to cherish. I have partnered with the professional printers to give you the best for your family. You have just experienced the luxury of full service photography. Starting with all the information you need, custom session planning, and ending with gorgeous products and images of your family to be displayed in your home. Enjoy what we have created together.

Testimonial
“Chelsie was the perfect combination of professional and personable. We used her services for our maternity photos and she put us both at ease instantly and the finished products are lovely! We also had her do newborn photos for us and she really is a baby whisperer. We felt so comfortable and relaxed watching her pose and soothe our sweet baby girl. She communicates well, is kind, and takes beautiful photos! Would absolutely recommend her!”
