My name is Chelsea

PORTRAIT, WEDDING AND COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER

Photographer. Adventure-seeker. Jack-of-some-Trades. Self-proclaimed badass.

WHo Am I?


I might have a slight addiction to dark chocolate and Scotch. I love watching hockey and running Spartan OCR races, and performing on my aerial hoop. When I step away from my camera, you can find me hanging off cliff sides while rock climbing, hiking the Cascades or playing with my husky, Grim. I'm a huge foodie, and nothing makes me happier than a day out in the sun.

I think I might be a plant or something.

OVER A Decade of Experience


I discovered photography at 13, and it was an immediate love affair. In 2012, I graduated from Millikin University with my BFA in Photography and Design, and started my career as a Photo Post-Production and Retouching Specialist.

Since then, I have since worked with several of the best photographers in the St. Louis and Seattle area, and set out with my own business in 2017. I am currently working in the SLU-area of Seattle, WA.

Whimsical. Romantic. Fun.


I took time to travel around and find my favorite parts of photography. For my wedding and portrait clients, I love creating whimsical photos that are both playful and emotional, that really allow my subjects to be themselves. I do what I can to create true-to-life, colorful images.
