about the

Photographer Chelsea is a natural light photographer specializing in maternity, newborn and family portrait photography in the Raleigh area. She is a selfdescribed goof-ball and nerd all rolled into one. Chelsea loves tickle wars, dotes on her sweet doggies, adores her three girls, and still swoons for her hubby. When she’s not busy capturing your precious moments, you can find her as an instructor in Biomedical Engineering.

Style

My style has been described as rich, colorful and timeless. I strive to capture your special, cherished moments; the look between a Daddy and his daughter, the sweetness in a Mommy’s hug, the warmth of a newborn snuggle. I am a go-with-the-flow kinda girl and I look for natural poses and environments. I will use some props, particularly for newborn and baby sessions, but I love to seek out nature as our backdrop.

Maternity Session

Cherish the Moment My favorite part of pregnancy was feeling those flutters and kicks...it’s still amazing to me that a life grows inside of you. I want to spend your maternity session pampering you...the momma; cause once this little one arrives--so do those sleepless nights and 2 am feedings. But, I can honestly say, it is well worth it, a million fold. Here’s to your darling’s entrance into the world; let’s capture your glow in anticipation of this momentous event!

all in the timing Maternity sessions are best booked between 30-34 weeks. We definitely want to highlight that bump! Two outfits are a good choice beginning with neutral palettes; blacks and whites, are a great way to contrast our body’s gorgeous shape. Another in bold colors, gives the essence of you!

Maternity sessions generally last 60-90 minutes, indoors or outside. Let’s capture this fleeting moment of such a wondrous time in your life!

Newborn Session

All in the timing The newborn session has to be one of my favorite types. How can you not love the innocence of a precious little babe?! It’s best to schedule your newborn session during your last trimester...shooting for around your due date. Of course, babies can have their own agenda when it comes to timing, I know that too well myself, but we’ll aim for a session within the first two weeks of life. Somewhere around 6-11 days is perfect to catch those sleepy poses and slumbering babies!

t i n y d e ta i l s -- day o f t h e s e s s i o n Newborn sessions take place in your home, where you, your family and especially that baby are at ease and comfortable. When I arrive, I ask you to show me a few different rooms so we can choose the best lighting. Full babies make the best nappers. I ask that you either feed your sweet baby within 30 minutes of my arrival or while I am setting up. I will provide blankets, headbands, wraps, quilts, baskets and rugs for our session. If you have something of importance you’d like included, please feel free.

Please relax and enjoy this time with your baby. We won’t rush, so expect around 2-3 hours for a full newborn session.

Portrait Session

Relax, Relax, Relax Having three kiddos of my own...I completely understand what it’s like to have your mind spinning with location decisions, what to wear, props, perfect poses for the holiday card or for an awesome art piece on the staircase. So...as best you can--relax! We’ll work together on defining the perfect location, wardrobe and collection of images that you want to use to define this priceless moment in your life. Your Roots and Wings are important to me--let’s capture them!

AN d s h o ot. ..

After our pre-session consultation, we’ll nail down the location, wardrobe and types of images we’re going for whether it be the silly candids that display family connections or the great sibling images to send to grandma.

From there, our session will be a blast! I love to interact with the kids on their level...running, giggling and playing with them. So, allow some goofy time. I strive to capture real-life happiness and personal relationships. Be prepared for some sweet kisses and tickle sessions!

Wear

I t ’ s o k ay n ot to m atc h !

Please say no to the jeans and matching white shirts...let your style shine through. And of course, be comfortable. Nothing is worse than shoes that pinch or collars that are too stiff. Your images should shout...YOU! I’ll help guide you through wardrobe choices if you need an extra set of eyes. Layers are a great way to add depth to your images, while proving outfit options!

Fun

Be in the moment My job as your photographer is to freeze time and highlight these memories as they are. I want to capture that little two year old smirk or a sweet baby yawn.

I want to give you images that speak to this time in your life...your Roots and Wings; catch them before they flit away. The best way to see those moments through my lens is for you to produce them naturally...simply by being yourselves.

If you have a shy one, that’s okay; if your middle daughter is boisterous and runs circles around you, then let’s catch that. Of course, we’ll get those marvelous family shots...the ones that our moms want to show off to their friends, but we’ll also get those silly moments where our families are REAL!
