YOUR EXPERIENCE
I might be the photographer, but these photos aren’t about me. This is your experience, so let’s create a session that
feels authentic to your family. Sound good?
DIVE INTO
From our very first meeting …
… all the way to arriving at your house with a level and hammer to personally hang your art (yes, really), every bit of my process is intentionally curated to be a thoughtful, relaxed experience.
Why do I do all this? Because I never wanna leave you hanging or add to your to-do list (I bet that’s already long enough, right?).
That’s what being a full service photographer is all about.
Kid-led and mom-focused
The kids are boss during our session — that means we take breaks when your baby needs and follow your toddler’s lead so they feel included. Buuuut before and after photos? It’s all about Mom.
You’ll get full access to my collection of flattering dresses, personally picked to fit all seasons of motherhood, from pregnancy, through the newborn stage and beyond. I also collaborate with you to help style your entire family and coordinate hair + make-up that comes directly to you — all included in your session fee.

Your pictures aren’t meant to be scrolled past and forgotten. They’re for touching, holding and passing down. I’ve carefully chosen heirloom-quality pieces that are American-made using archival quality materials. I will guide you through the entire process of designing artwork with your favorite images — taking care of everything so you don’t have to worry or add more to your plate. Seeing your favorite moments come to life - that is what brings me joy as your Virginia Beach family photographer!

Intentionally un-busy
To ensure that I can give all my families the best experience that is totally custom to them, I limit the number of sessions I offer to 5 Signature Sessions each month. That means you can trust you have my full time and attention.
Our time together is relaxed so no one feels rushed. Don’t worry, I always have a plan and guide your session with simple, natural direction (yes, I’ll tell you what to do with your hands!) but I’m a mom, so I know flexibility is key when working with littles!

A CURATED PROCESS
01
YOUR DISCOVERY CALL
We’ll hop on a call just to chat about your family and what you’re hoping for in your photos. I find this call is so much nicer than just sending a big email, and it helps me start to customize your session!
02
STYLING & PLANNING
Your virtual planning and styling session will cover location info, choosing your wardrobe, styling tips for your family, envisioning how your artwork will fit in your home, and more.
03
SESSION DAY!
Professional hair and make-up come to you! After you’ve been taken care of, we’ll enjoy a laidback photo session that mixes timeless portraits and lots of playful candids.
04
GALLERY REVEAL
I’ll bring your fully edited gallery to your home for an in-person reveal. I’ll also bring frame and album samples so we can design a gallery wall, choose your favorite images to frame, and start designing your custom album!
05
ART INSTALLATION
Once your custom gallery wall or statement frame arrives, I’ll personally come to your home and professionally hang it for you. It will mean so much to fill your home with these memories!

"Time is fleeting.
Chelsey knows how to capture it flawlessly."
“Chelsey is very skilled at what she does, of course, but I love that she personalizes your session from start to finish. We recently had a family session and purchased a 5-frame gallery wall. Every single time I walk by the wall, I just smile! I love that the personalities of each of my kids are captured perfectly. Take the photos. Make the investment.”
