welcome, friends.
Hi there! I’m Chelsey- a Southern-born, New England-raised mom, wife, school counselor, and photographer with a love for storytelling through photos.
I’m a mom to two wild and sweet boys who keep me on my toes, and I’m married to my very own personal trainer (fun fact: we met at the gym). Life in our house is full of energy, crafts, and spontaneous dance parties (they got it from their momma).
By day, I work as a school counselor at the same small-town elementary school I once attended as a kid (yes, it’s just as full circle and heartwarming as it sounds). And when I’m not there, you’ll find me behind the camera, doing what I love- capturing meaningful, beautiful, and natural moments for families across New England.
Photography has been part of my story for as long as I can remember. My grandmother was the one who first introduced me to the magic of preserving memories, she always had a camera in hand, and she gave me my very first Kodak. From that moment on, I became that friend...the one documenting every get-together, holiday, and dance floor moment.
I officially started my photography journey in 2014, slowly building experience here and there. It wasn’t until 2021 that things really started to take off, and I feel so grateful to now call this passion part of my everyday work.
When I'm not shooting, you'll find me outside with my boys, working out at Seacoast Kettlebell or having a snack (I always have snacks....)
I’m so glad you’re here & I cannot wait to work with you.

i'm so glad you are here.
why I do what I do
At the heart of my work as a photographer is a deep belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and celebrated. Being inclusive isn’t just something I strive for, it’s a non-negotiable part of how I live and work. Whether you’re growing your family, celebrating a milestone, or just want to document this season of your life, I want you to know: you are welcome here.
As a school counselor, I lead with kindness, respect, and empathy every day and those same values shape how I approach every photo session. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and comfortable being your true self, because that’s when the most meaningful images are made.
Photographs are more than just pictures, they are memories, stories, and legacies. They remind us of who we are and who we love. It is an honor to be the one to help capture that for others.
Being a follower of Christ, my faith plays a steady role in the way I move through this world. I embrace affirming theology and support the dignity & rights of all people.I believe that every person is wonderfully and intentionally made. That belief shows up in how I see people, through a lens of grace, purpose, and unconditional worth. I recognize and honor the beauty found across the full spectrum of humanity, without exception.
If you’re looking for a photographer who leads with heart and creates with intention, I’d be honored to connect with you.
