TIME is the only REAL LUXURY in life. You can't get it back. 

The Signature Session experience was created, BY a busy Mom - FOR BUSY MOMS 

My goal is to
SAVE YOU TIME 
and
PAMPER YOU 
throughout the entire portrait experience. 

Because, Mama, you work HARD ENOUGH as it is, and I know you'd rather be making memories with your children...

So, instead of spending hours of your precious free time planning & organizing everything for your family's photos - let me help you!

I'll guide you through an effortless & joyful photo experience, and create custom artwork for you so you can actually enjoy your portraits once we create them! 

I'LL take care of the small details - so you can enjoy the big picture.

"Literally cannot say enough positive things about Chelsey and our several experiences with her for our family photos. 

She ensures that you feel comfortable and confident during the whole process; from securing a location to styling outfits for your family, and ensures you can achieve the vision that you’re envisioning for your perfect family photos!
 
We have always had the best experience with her and always look forward to our future sessions!

Time to have fun and enjoy your portrait session! 

Whether we are capturing you in the comfort of your own home during your newborn session, or outdoors for family or maternity portraits, I will guide your family throughout the entire session with thoughtful posing and playful prompting so everyone can have FUN and no one wonders what to do with their hands!

We will talk, play with kids, cuddle babies-- whatever feels right. 

Your hair and makeup services will be done by professional artists who specialize in enhancing your natural beauty, and services can be done in studio in Virginia Beach, or in the comfort of your own home (perfect for in-home newborn sessions!) 

We’ll schedule a virtual styling appointment 3-4 weeks before your session.
During our Zoom call, you’ll have the opportunity to select clothes from the client wardrobe for Mom & we'll put together a plan to finalize outfits for the whole family based on what Mom wants to wear.
We will also use this time to dream up the plan for the artwork you wish to have created for your family with the portraits we create!  
Every detail matters and I take pride in
curating the experience for YOUR unique family! 

It’s time to see all the beautiful portraits we created and decide how you'd like to enjoy them!

We will meet 2-3 weeks after your session to view your images in a beautiful slideshow first; then choose favorites and design your custom gallery wall frames and select images for your heirloom album.

I will send you a Design and Artwork Catalog for more information about artwork offerings, the customization options and share inspiration photos of past client's artwork.

About the artwork

Custom Framing 


Your portraits are wall worthy.

Custom framed portraits will turn the most adored moments with your family into treasured artwork which can be enjoyed daily within your home. 

albums 


The walls of our homes might not be big enough to feature every image we cherish. 

Albums are the perfect way to save all the images you love; and will become the perfect memory book to pass along to your children. 

A limited number of signature sessions are available each month to ensure each family receives the best possible care & experience. 

Clients typically book 2-3 months in advance to ensure they get their preference of date and location, or during the 2nd trimester to secure their maternity and newborn sessions. 

It would be an honor to document your family's memories...
