The small moments become the ones you remember. I would love to capture those for you and turn them into art that you get to cherish forever. Life is beautiful and the moments deserved to be remembered.

The smile in your eyes while laughing to inside jokes. Snuggling up to your best friend where you had your first date. The way your hands fit together just right. 

When someone feels like home, romantic or platonic, there is a connection that I am dying to capture. Hair in the breeze, cozy flannels, baggy denim, sandy feet. Like Taylor Swift said, "We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light."

I’m here to capture the small, intimate, ordinary, extraordinary moments that make up a life and a love story - not just how they looked, but how they felt. Time will always pass but photos are physical reminders of the beautiful life you are building.

Welcoming you for exactly who you are.
To be seen & to be heard.

"She’s the type of person you meet and instantly feel so connected to which made being in front of her camera so much easier."

I am a sentimental, sensitive girlie that romanticizes just about everything.
I am the one who pays attention, who notices.

I am sooo passionate in what I do. I love to create and during that is a big ask of trust. I think the most beautiful things about us are to be human-- flaws, quirks and all. 

The in-between glances, candid moments. The moments that aren't forced let us be our true selves.

All the small moments end up being the memories we carry. 
It’s about a snapshot in time - those photos that allow you to hold a feeling in your hands.

Happy you're here

It was enchanting to meet you

"I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people."

"Chelsae made our day absolutely perfect!!! Honestly when I say flawless photos, I mean it. They should be on the cover of a magazine. A friend recommended her to me and instantly I fell in love after browsing her IG. Her attention to detail is to die for, she captures pure emotion on film so effortlessly. I wanted pictures that when you looked at them you FEEL something and boy she did not disappoint. She is so funny, kind and bubbly! She’s the type of person you meet and instantly feel so connected to which made being in front of her camera so much easier. We laughed, danced and took some absolutely phenomenal pictures together that perfectly captured our love and emotions on our special day. Hype woman/BFF/photographer all in one— you can tell she loves what she does. Chelsae is the best HIRE HER immediately!!"

"She’s the type of person you meet and instantly feel so connected to."

"Chelsae captured my day absolutely beautifully! Her shots captured the exact vibe I was going for. She made us feel totally comfortable behind the camera, while also capturing the most perfect candid shots. She got a few sneak peaks back to me right away, and got them all back to me within a couple weeks! I was very happy with how fast we were able to get our pictures! I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture my wedding day and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for effortlessly beautiful pictures."
