About

Hi, I am Chelsea.

Heyyyyyyyyyyy! I am Chelsea. I am 34 years old. I have been married to my husband, Lucas, for 11 years, together for almost 16. We have two amazing babes. Gracie is eight and Carter is six. They are truly the loves of my life - all three of them! We live in a cute little town called Ballston Spa, New York. Photography fell into my lap seven years ago, and I could not be more grateful. I love this job to bits and could not imagine myself doing anything else. I am a natural light photographer, specializing in natural light and naturally posed photography.

I love, love, love my West Elm, all things pretty, Starbucks, and anything that involves chocolate or pumpkin. I have an inappropriately loud laugh and have a knack of saying what other people are thinking - sometimes it blows up in my face, but most of the time it is just super funny. Also, I am a hugger. Watch out!

My goal as a photographer is to capture families/couples just being. All moments. The quiet ones, the loud ones, the happy ones and the sweet ones. Every single thing that makes you your wedding yours, that's what I want to see. I want my weddings to be fun and effortless. I am obsessed with that golden light at sunset. I will beg you to take a few minutes to come outside with me at that golden hour and we can soak up every last minute of the glorious golden light. Just trust me on this one. I want every wedding to be custom to you and your significant other, so please bring your ideas, your dreams, your favorite book or cup of coffee to your wedding.

This is me, shoot me an email or give me a call. I would love to meet and chat about your engagement session or wedding!

It can be confusing navigating the process of choosing your wedding vendors. Chelsea is incredible. She gets to know her clients personally, and gets shots that are true to who they are. She has an amazing eye for detail and is great to work with, she made the day so much fun!! Chelsea did our family photos and wedding and I highly recommend her... we love you Chelsea!!

Chelsea was a joy to work with! She was so easy going, any worries we had were erased upon meeting her. We booked Chelsea to do an engagement session, and our wedding. She was super flexible to schedule with, which was fantastic as we were planning a wedding, purchasing a home, moving and working full time! An email response was typically only minutes away.

On our wedding day, Chelsea started the day with us at the salon, then moved to my home as I got ready. Not only did she capture our special moments, she also played with my dog, helped move furniture, touched up make up and hair, and brought our wedding bands to the groom before the ceremony! Knowing we had just purchased our home, she included some shots of the new house, and portraits of our dog. All of this and she was never intrusive or in the way. Guests commented on how scarce she made herself during the ceremony and reception, allowing them to enjoy the event without looking at a camera all night. When we got our images back, she didn't miss a shot.

We loved our images and have recommend Chelsea to many friends and family members not only for her talents with weddings, but also children and families. Chelsea truly felt like part of our family on wedding day; I know we will be utilizing her talents for more special moments in the future!

BOOK HER!! It's almost a year later and I still look at my photo's every day! Got a compliment saying that my wedding looked like something out of Time & Country magazine! LOVED getting the flash drive instead of prints!
