Heyyy!  Meet your  new BFF!

Welcome, my adventurous friend! I'm thrilled that you've found your way here. Take a moment to explore, immerse yourself in my portfolio, and allow me to share a little about myself and what you can expect when we embark on this incredible journey together.

First things first, let me introduce myself. I am an introverted extrovert, a paradox that allows me to connect deeply while bringing out the genuine, unfiltered laughter within you. As a self-proclaimed travel junkie, I find inspiration in exploring the world's hidden gems and capturing the essence of nature's beauty. Oh, and did I mention I'm a proud mama to two amazing babes, aged 2 and 4, and happily married to my best friend of 15 years. They bring so much joy to my life and remind me of the power of love and connection.

Although I'm based in Arizona, I'm always ready for an adventure, so don't worry about location constraints. Whether we're chasing mountaintop sunsets or frolicking along sandy shores, I'll meet you anywhere your hearts desire. My aim is to document more than just the smiles. I want to capture the essence of who you are, those fleeting, intimate moments that define your love and leave you with cherished memories to last a lifetime.

Whether it's an elopement in a breathtaking landscape or a cozy, intimate portrait session, I pour my heart and soul into delivering a storytelling gallery that will transport you back to the emotions, the scenery, and the essence of the moments we shared. Your gallery will be a treasure trove, unveiling not only the laughter and happiness but also the tender embraces, joyful tears, and every other beautiful facet that fills your life.

Rest assured, your story matters deeply to me. It's not just about the photographs; it's about the experience we create together. Throughout our time, you won't just have a photographer by your side; you'll gain a new friend. We'll laugh, share stories, and create an environment that allows your love to shine brightly. Brace yourself, because by the end, you'll probably love your pictures way too much. And if that happens, don't worry—we can always do it all over again because the fun we have together is simply irresistible.

So, my dear, let's connect! Reach out to me, and let's embark on this exciting adventure. We'll chat, plan something extraordinary, laugh wholeheartedly, and savor every moment together. Your story awaits, and I'm honored to be the one to tell it.

"Dreams really do come true. Chelsea made our entire elopement such a dream. She connected me with all of the best sources and made our day completely stress free. She captured photos that are magazine worthy. I will recommend Chelsea to everyone as she truly is the best! I can’t wait to have shoots with her in the future of our family!"
