NEWBORN LIFESTYLE
Having a newborn at home is crazy! I've been there, I get it. But documenting those new little moments really is priceless. Those teenie toes, those squishy legs and those gassy smiles! And equally important is documenting the totally normal, not so glamorous moments as well - the adorable awkwardness of a sink bath, baby burps, sofa snuggles...believe me, those are the foggy memories you'll be happy to have to look back on later.
Sound overwhelming? Don't worry! It's my goal to make this as stress free as possible! I will come to you and all we will do is take photos of you doing what you do - being a parent. You will receive a prep guide full of helpful tips about how to prepare your family and your home, and don't worry, no cleaning service or hair and makeup are required! The real moments will mean more down the road.
This style of session is also perfect for "older" newborns, as they don't require much posing and a more alert baby can make for more engaging photos, capturing connection between the two of you. I recommend anywhere from one to 6 weeks. Sessions typically last 2-4 hours, leaving time for feedings and changes. If baby has siblings (even furry ones) I'm more than happy to include them!
POSES
If you just love those little sweet little newborn poses as well, I'm with you! I always bring along a few props and wraps. We will discuss your ideas in advance so I know what shots are most important to you. We also discuss details like color schemes and style and talk about what you hope to do with your images in the end - for instance nursery art, a family portrait or a beautiful baby album.
Something to note is that the younger the baby the easier they are to pose. Although we won't be attempting anything too ambitious like we might in a studio, a baby under 10 days will be much sleepier - so if you're looking for a pose-heavy gallery keep in mind your baby's age and please let me know when we speak. If you think you missed the window, there are still a number of achievable poses for "older" newborns too.
I want you to feel totally comfortable, and am always happy to answer any questions you have along the way!

What Session is Right for You?
In-Home Newborn
Shot in your home in Lifestyle and Documentary format anytime during the first couple of months, newborn photos are focused on capturing and documenting the real moments that will become such incredibly invaluable memories over time.
Outdoor Family
Shot outdoors on location, these family sessions are an amazing way to highlight the connection between your family members and capture milestones, no matter what they may be.
Family Documentary
Turning your typical day into a visual story. From fun activities to the seemingly mundane, every day your journey is evolving. Yesterday's routine is replaced without you even realizing it. Documenting life as it currently is can provide a gateway back in time and trigger amazing memories that may otherwise be forgotten

Studio
The most recent addition to my offerings, my studio sessions are always evolving. Using the space for lifestyle, fine art, portraits and specials, sessions can vary greatly and can also be catered to your needs.
Fine Art
Using photographs to create a painterly aesthetic; adding textures, smoothing skin, deepening shadows, manipulating color and light, all to bring an artistic vision to light. Carefully shot images of your child or family are literally turned into a work of art.
Chelsea is a talented artist and a lovely human being. Her graphic design background puts her a step above as she has a beautiful eye for the perfect shot. She goes above and beyond after the shoot to help you turn your photos into the best keepsakes. With children of her own, she is an absolute natural!

Chelsea did newborn photos for my 2 daughters and some family portraits as well and they came out amazing!! She was very patient and took her time with my children. She was open to any ideas I had and was very accommodating and easy to work with. She edited and sent the pictures to me very quickly and was very responsive to any questions I had. I highly recommend her for newborn/family photos!!! :)

Chelsea is extremely professional, organized and talented! She captured our new baby in an at home lifestyle session. The images are full of storytelling, as she captures the everyday beauty of family life. We are so pleased with the images she took and look forward to sharing them with our extended friends/family as well as framing them in our home.
