Jefferson city, MO photographer
your story + preserving every moment
documenting
Photographing families and newborns and weddings for over 10 years in the central Missouri area, showcasing real and raw moments, and creating memories. Documenting your family's important story, creating art to display for years to come.
Heartfelt photography for the memories you love
Let's transform your story into a timeless work of art.
From our first conversation to the moment you receive your photos, I'm here to preserve unforgettable memories
As a mom, I know just how important these moments are. My ultimate goal for each photo 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 you to have fun. I want your family members to relax. And I want you to leave thinking, 'that was actually a good time'.

BABY PLANS
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!!!”
Chelsea Smith Photos has received newborn education on safety and posing through various instructors in-person and online. The safety of your newborn is top priority, so continuous learning and furthering education is of high importance.
Newborns photograph best around 5-12 days after birth, while they are still moldable and flexible and generally still sleepy. The studio contains everything you need for baby's photos, including props, blankets, outfits, hats, and headbands, so you just need to bring yourselves! Carefully curated newborn prep guides are provided before your session to help ensure baby is photo ready!
Newborn sessions can be held in-studio or as a lifestyle session in the comfort of your own home!
Newborn sessions!
