Hello! I’m Chelsea, your friendly neighborhood photographer.
Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It started with carrying my camera everywhere as a teenager, snapping photos of anything and everything that caught my eye. I even spent hours in high school photography classes, developing film in the darkroom and learning to tell stories through the lens.
But life has a way of pulling us in different directions, and for a while, I stepped away from photography. It wasn’t until I moved to Maui—where I worked as a photographer on catamarans capturing snorkel trips, sunsets, and humpback whales—that I reconnected with my passion. Those years gave me a deep love for underwater photography, free diving, and the raw beauty of nature. Looking back, I feel so lucky for those experiences—they helped shape how I see the world and approach my work today.
Now, in Florida, my focus is on documenting life’s sweetest moments in a way that feels authentic and timeless. Whether it’s a quiet morning baking cookies with your kids, the soft anticipation of motherhood, or golden-hour laughter by the water, I’m here to tell your story—exactly as it is.
Kindness matters and you are welcome here.
THE HEART BEHIND THE LENS
Let’s create something amazing
I get it—being in front of the camera can feel awkward. That’s why my sessions are all about keeping things easy and relaxed. My calm and lighthearted nature will help you feel at ease, and I’ll guide you every step of the way so you can focus on being present in the moment. You don’t need to worry about looking “perfect” because the best photos happen when you’re just being you.
For me, it’s not just about taking photos—it’s about creating an experience you’ll remember fondly. I laugh a lot, and I promise there will be moments during our session where you can’t help but laugh too. My hope is that, by the end, it feels less like a photoshoot and more like a fun day spent with a friend who just happens to have a camera.
Photography is my way of creating something meaningful. It’s my artistic outlet, but it’s also my way of helping you hold on to the moments that matter most. I believe your story deserves to be told with honesty and heart—whether it’s the messy, real-life moments or the quiet, tender ones. My goal is to create images that make you feel seen and remind you of how beautiful this life really is.
If you’re looking for someone who’ll put you at ease, make you laugh, and capture your memories with care, I’d be honored to work with you. Let’s create something timeless together.

a little more about me
Outside of photography, you’ll often find me near the water. Growing up, my dad loved documenting everything—his slideshows and home videos were basically the soundtrack of my childhood. I could spend hours looking through old photos, reliving family moments and seeing loved ones who are no longer with us. That’s where my love for preserving memories comes from.
I’m also an empath with a big heart for family. My brother has autism, and my family has always worked with individuals with special needs. It’s taught me patience, kindness, and the importance of seeing beauty in every unique story. Those values influence everything I do—both in life and in my photography.
When I’m not working, I love freediving, exploring nature, or simply enjoying the little things—like a good laugh or a quiet moment by the ocean. Fun fact: I used to be pretty shy, but years of meeting new people and making fresh starts have turned me into the easygoing, outgoing person I am today!
