Hi! I'm Chelsea. I'm a lifestyle-based photographer & graphic designer serving Northwest Ohio and beyond; my passion is finding & preserving magical moments, both big and small, in ordinary life.

My focus is bringing out your beautiful, true-to-you, one-of-a-kind magic to your gallery by getting
your true self shining through in your photos and your design projects.


>>> connections over perfection. //
PHOTO sessions with me are
lifestyle-based &
loosely posed...


This means while I am taking photos, we are also walking around chatting, joking, and having fun instead of rushing through and stressing about perfection. Along with the beautiful photos looking at the camera, (yes, I still take plenty of those!),  I strive to catch candid shots of real connections and emotions throughout our time together. When you look back at the photos from your session, I want you transported back to the moment we took them - I want your photos to make you feel.

I want you to come to your session as your true self(ves),  because we all look our best when we feel like ourselves. If that means dressing up for your photos - great! If you'd rather keep it more casual - let's do it! I draw inspiration from my clients and their feelings and interests, and want to capture the real you, so let me get to know & see you!
 

Tell me about yourself, your story, what you like, what you hate, what you like to do and where you like to go - tell me anything you want to tell me so we can not only get you photos that truly show you, but also give you a fun and memorable experience.

Everyone's story is different. Everyone's story is important.
I'd love to help preserve a bit of your story for you!


Working with me is a judgement free, good vibes only experience - I fully support LGBTQ+ individuals and people of all shapes, ages, and races in all walks of life.


All of your life's moments - big & small - matter.
Your moments are worth remembering & looking back at. 


Of course those photos of you all looking at the camera smiling will be special to look back at down the road - I know personally it's amazing seeing, years later, everyone together frozen in time at whatever age they were - a piece of family history saved in a single photograph.
But, those perfectly posed shots likely won't be the majority of your gallery from our session.

Accompanying those classically posed images in your gallery will be photos of little life moments from your session - moments like your little one holding your hand reminding you how tiny their hand is, how your eyes squint just a little when you kiss your partner, you cuddling your preteen close while they'll still let you, those first moments holding your sweet baby after they've made their arrival earth side, the way your toddlers eyes light up when they look at you,  or the way that your partner smiles at you when you're not looking at them.

Those are just a few examples of so many priceless, tiny, forgotten moments in our lives that are so much more important than we realize now. It's my mission to capture as many of them as I can!
