getting to know you…

Im Chelsie

Hi, I’m Chelsie Chavarria! I love soaking up the simple delights in life. On any given day I might be snuggling at home with my husband Carlos, children Levi, Owen, and Chloe, and furballs, Hazelnut and Bentley. When you can't find me there I might be sipping on brews whether caffeinated or hoppy, brunching with friends, listening to Coldplay on repeat while on a spontaneous road trip with my family, or wandering through neighborhood boutiques. I believe in love, writing thank you notes, and the power a good hike in nature has to heal all wounds. I’m a photographer, artist, wife, and mother - - plus I am always planning my next traveling adventure.

I wasn't always a photographer: I left my nine to five when I was twenty-five and knowing I was a dream believer I applied to college to study photography and spent the next few years getting my bachelor's in fine art photography and growing into the photographer I am today!

I photograph couples who are romantics, they believe in celebrating their love, they never stop dating each other, and they aren’t afraid to climb a mountain together, literally. They are up for an adventure, like an elopement on a mountainside where they have just changed into their wedding attire after a three-mile hike or an intimate wedding of the most cherished members of their lives. If you are looking for more than just a photographer but someone who will pay attention to every detail of your special story I believe I am what you’re looking for!

I am known for photographing in nature or in your home and creating a relaxed and free-flowing shoot that results in candid moments such as laughter in the rain or running through an open field. I love having clients who are as open to adapting to the elements as I am.

I’d love to connect with you. I have an email link below or you can visit my contact page!
