About chelsea smith photos
As a mom of two, I know just how important these fleeting moments are. Your babies grow before your own eyes and I promise you'll look back on photos to help you remember some of your favorite memories.
Photography has been a passion of mine since before I even got my first camera. I used to sit on the floor of my grandmother's spare bedroom pouring through photo albums and reminiscing on times passed. It is one of my most fond memories of her, how she loved to document our lives, and I continuously wonder if that memory hasn't led me to photographing families today.
Hi, I'm Chelsea.
I truly enjoy getting to know each family that I work with, and I hope to build a relationship with them that allows me to continue photographing their family over the years as they grow. When I photograph your family, I'm not just sending you pretty pictures, I'm making you a part of my 'photography family' and I hope you'll allow me to play a small part in yours.
I've been doing photography since 2011. As a continuous learner, I'm one of those "don't give up til you're proud of yourself'" type of people, and I'm constantly working to improve.
My ultimate goal for each session is simple: to give you photos and keepsakes you love to look back on over the years. However my true goal is much deeper than that. I want to create a friendship and relationship with you, create a relaxed environment, where everyone's true personality can shine. I strive to not make this a 'typical' photo session. I want to have fun, I want your kids to giggle and play, I want your family members to relax, and I want you to leave thinking, "that was actually a good time".
And honestly? I absolutely love
what I do.
