getting to know you…

Im Chelsie

Hi, I’m Chelsie — photographer, storyteller, adventure-seeker, and big believer in slow mornings and spontaneous road trips. Most days you’ll find me with my husband Carlos and our three kids — Levi, Owen, and Chloe — probably chasing sunshine, sipping a good brew (coffee or beer, depends on the day), or wandering through a cute neighborhood shop. I believe in handwritten thank-you notes, love that lasts through the chaos, and that a hike in fresh mountain air can fix almost anything.

I didn’t always have a camera in my hand. When I was twenty-five, I left my nine-to-five, trusted my gut, and went all in on photography. I earned my bachelor’s degree in fine art photography, but more importantly, I found my purpose — telling real love stories through honest, artful images.

I photograph couples who aren’t afraid to be themselves — the ones who laugh mid-kiss, dance in the rain, and choose adventure over perfection. My favorite sessions are the ones that feel like real life — barefoot on a mountain trail, cozy on the couch, or celebrating with your closest people under the stars.

If you’re looking for photos that feel like you — imperfect, beautiful, and full of heart — I’d love to connect. Reach out through my contact page or drop me a message below, and let’s start dreaming up something amazing.
