Hi, there!! I'm Chelsey!

While my photos might have drawn you here, now you're reading about the person who has spent years curating a style and serving clients with her best energy and attention to detail.

So here's a bit more about who is behind creating those images that brought you here: 

I'm a Virginia Beach maternity, newborn & family photographer on a mission to save busy Moms time and make their lives easier by serving families with a joyful, effortless portrait experience and custom artwork. 

In addition to being a full-time photographer, I'm also a Mom to 3 toddlers, and a wife of 10 years. <3

I'm honored that you're here and thankful that you're willing to share your time with me!

Newborn photographer in virginia beach

I'm a Virginia Beach photographer serving families with a joyful, effortless family portrait experience and custom artwork! 

I specialize in turning family memories into tangible artwork - so you can enjoy every precious moment documented within the walls of your home, and not just on a smartphone screen. 

If I'm not chasing a toddler around to grab a cute candid shot during a family session or  swaddling and soothing a sweet newborn baby, you can find me by the water with my own family! The beach or the pool - I never met a body of water I didn't love! 


My favorite thing about my home is the people I share it with. My next favorite thing are the photos of my family hanging on the walls. <3
