Services
When I'm not behind the lens capturing your story, you can find me at the Lake or the Osage River in the Summer months, baking sourdough bread, finding healthy snacks at Natural Grocers, or listening to a suspenseful audio book in the wintertime.
As a mom of two, I know just how important these moments are. My ultimate goal for each session is simple: to give you photos and keepsakes you love to look back on over the years. But what I really want is to create a friendship with you where everyone's true personality can shine. I want to have fun. I want your family members to relax. And I want you to leave thinking, 'that was actually a good time'.
I'm honored that you're even considering having me document your special moments and can't wait to meet you!
hi, I'm chelsea
Your memories deserve a place in the photo albums and on your walls, both big moments and small. I offer newborn sessions in-home or in my Russellville, MO photography studio, outdoor or studio family and maternity sessions, and engagement and wedding photography.
I know you're thinking, "but I'm awkward and not sure what to do with my hands". Lucky for you, I will seamlessly guide you into natural poses and positions that I've learned over years of photographing hundreds of awkward families just like yours. And I believe that those families and couples that feel they are 'awkward in front of the camera' always turn out to be the best sessions! Sessions are all-inclusive, meaning your session includes all the good images, and there are no image limits*.
*mini sessions typically do have photo limits as stated
Capturing your perfectly imperfect lives makes for the best memories!
Your story
She’s a wonderful person and an even better photographer, photos turned out perfect! Highly, highly recommend!
"AMAZING!"
Chelsea was amazing! The experience of taking pictures at your wedding can feel stressful and overwhelming and she brought such a calming and fun energy to it! We recently got our photos back and they are amazing! We highly recommend Chelsea for wedding photos and photos of the family and little ones! She is amazing!
“Chelsea was amazing!!”
We signed up for our Maternity session along with Newborn and all the milestone sessions with Chelsea! She is so great with babies and kids, always getting the best shots! Even when our son got sick, she was awesome and worked with us on rescheduling our session. Love her style & editing and better yet her gallery deliveries are always quick turn around time! We highly suggest you book her!
“She is so great with babies and kids, always getting the best shots.”
"You leave feeling so relaxed and you “hope you got a least one good one”, then she delivers the sweetest moment after moment – split seconds you didn’t even notice during the session. She’s an artist and just the easiest person to be around. She’ll capture our fam for as long as we can!"
“Chelsea is the best!!!”
