HEY, MAMA!

I know your to-do list is never-ending and your kids are growing up way too fast...

As a busy Mom of 3 myself, I know how VALUABLE our time is and how we don't want to waste it. 

That is why I designed the CKP signature session experience to SAVE YOU TIME and prioritize pampering busy Moms just like you with a joyful, effortless photography experience and custom, done-for-you artwork.

CLIENT REVIEWS

"We did maternity & newborn sessions and are in LOVE with our photos! 

 Chelsey's vision is gorgeous & execution flawless - she made the sessions fun & all about enjoying each other.

We'll treasure these memories always, they truly are our perfect art 💕

Porter Family

"Chelsey is so warm and welcoming and made all of us feel at ease!

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 able to capture really beautiful photos that we will cherish forever.

Trainor Family

"Chelsey's talent for capturing precious moments is truly unparalleled.

Her ability to connect with our 9-month-old son was remarkable. She handled his fussiness with grace and patience, resulting in candid & heartwarming shots that perfectly captured his adorable & playful personality :)

 If you're searching for a photographer who not only captures beautiful moments but also makes the experience enjoyable, look no further than Chelsey Kraus Photography. We couldn't recommend her enough.

Richmond Family

"I had my maternity photos done with Chelsey - from the start everything was organized & taken care of which is a huge bonus when you're pregnant and already have a million things going on!

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!

As a Virginia Beach family photographer, it is an honor to document the early years for growing families.
