I mean it, Mamas.
You’ve got that brand new baby to snuggle and adore, so I know how valuable your free time is

JOYFUL PHOTOGRAPHY
“We are in love with our photos! Chelsey’s vision is gorgeous and the execution is flawless. She made the sessions fun and all about enjoying each other. We’ll treasure these memories always — they truly are our perfect art.”
THE PORTER FAMILY
Finding Chelsey was a breath of fresh air!
Her booking process was simple, but no detail was overlooked. She booked hair and
makeup for me and allowed me full access to her client closet — this was such a
lifesaver! Going through the photos was so special and I can't imagine not
having those early newborn days documented.”
—the BRIDGEMAN FAMILY—
I was amazed at how comfortable the kids were in front of the camera, which hasn't always been the case with other photographers..."

"Chelsey was great to work with from beginning to end!
If you want a photoshoot where everything is taken care of for you, then I highly recommend you hire her!"

THE MOM WITH THE CAMERA
I’VE BEEN RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE…
… wanting to schedule family photos,
especially after welcoming a newborn, but not entirely sure how you’ll fit it into the calendar. Wishing someone would just make it happen. Hey. It’s me. I’ll make it happen.
But before we get to the fun, of hiring me as your Virginia Beach newborn photographer, how about I share a little about myself,
mom to mom.

WAYS TO DISPLAY FAMILY PHOTOS IN YOUR HOME
Growing up, I spent hours looking at the albums my Mom made with images we snapped on our many adventures...
THE ARTWORK
FOR YOUR HOME
There’s just something about snuggling on the couch with your big preschooler, poring over a family album and remembering yesterday.
Each photo holds something new to discover — to remember — every time you look at it. And that right there is the power of printed art.
