The "Unfiltered" Chelsea
From Happy Meal film cameras to 19 years of capturing core memories.
Let’s throw it back: my obsession with photography started with a bright orange plastic film camera I got in a Happy Meal. I still remember the rush of running to the store to get those rolls developed.
That childhood spark eventually led me to earn my degree in photography, turning a lifelong obsession into my craft. Since then, my camera has been my constant companion. I’ve spent nearly two decades not just documenting weddings, but mentoring and educating other photographers in the industry.
My vibe is simple: I’m a technical expert with professional hype-woman energy. I’ve mastered the science of light and composition so that you don't have to worry about a thing. My sessions feel less like a formal photoshoot and more like a hangout with a friend who isn’t afraid to wade through a river or crawl through the mud to get the shot. I’m here for the genuine laughs, the messy hair, and the "oh my god, we’re actually married" energy.
I’m a big believer that the best art happens when you’re just being yourselves. So let’s skip the "cheese" and create something timeless.
When I’m not behind the lens:
-
⚔️ The Resident Nerd: I don’t just play video games; I live for the deep lore. Whether I'm adventuring through a campaign with my husband, obsessing over Pokémon, or getting lost in Lord of the Rings and fantasy novels, I’m a geek at heart.
-
🐎 The Barn Life: My soul is happiest at the stables. I have a horse of my own, and these days, you’ll find me coaching my daughter in the ring. Being her coach and sharing that bond is one of my favorite roles.
-
🏎️ Cars & Coffee: I’m a total car enthusiast. If you want to talk specs or just appreciate a clean build, I’m your girl—I can hold my own with the guys any day. Just add some sushi and a strong coffee, and I’m set.
-
🥖 The Modern Homesteader: When winter hits, my house turns into a greenhouse. I start all my seedlings indoors, and come harvest time, I’m busy canning my own food and baking fresh bread. There’s something so grounding about creating something from scratch (and yes, the house always smells amazing).
-
🐕🦺 Backyard Chaos: Life at home is a beautiful mix of kids, pups, and pure energy. It’s my literal love language and the reason I value those "messy but perfect" family moments so much.
-
🌲 The Great Outdoors: I’m most at home where the air is fresh—horseback riding with my bestie of 30 years, hiking rugged trails, or camping under the stars.
