✨ MEET ME MONDAY ✨

I always struggle writing these because how do you summarize yourself into one Instagram post without sounding like you’re writing a resume?

Hi, I’m Chelsea. 🤍

Owner of Chelsea Marne Photography, wife, mama of three, former radiography technologist, coffee enthusiast, book collector (who absolutely buys books faster than she reads them), and someone whose brain is essentially a browser with 37 tabs open at all times.

If you’ve ever worked with me, you know my job title extends far beyond photographer.

I’m your timeline helper, dress fluffer, professional hype woman, problem solver, and the person who will absolutely ask you to do something one more time because “the light is doing a thing.”

Photography wasn’t my original plan, but somewhere along the way it became exactly where I was supposed to be.

What started as taking pictures turned into preserving stories, building relationships, and creating a life I genuinely love.

My editing philosophy is simple: I don’t believe in changing people. I believe in elevating moments.

A few random facts about me:

☕ Coffee always wins.

📚 I simultaneously have too many books and not enough books.

🏔️ Mountains and lakes > beaches.

💡 I have approximately 17 new business ideas before breakfast.

😂 I’m equal parts organized business owner and “I just had an idea…” chaos gremlin.

At the end of the day, I’m simply Chelsea. A little creative, a little chaotic, deeply passionate, and incredibly grateful that this is what I get to call my job.

Now tell me something random about yourself because one of my favorite parts of this job is that strangers somehow become clients… and clients somehow become friends. 🤍

Not every chapter is written with words.

Some are written in belly laughs between the flowers.
In tiny hands reaching for blooms.
In stolen glances.
In the people who make life feel a little more magical.

Petals & Pages is for those moments.

A storybook-inspired experience surrounded by blooms, books, and golden summer light—created for families, couples, children, seniors, and anyone who still believes in a little bit of magic.

Let's create a chapter you'll want to revisit for years to come. 🌸📖

Being a photographer is really just taking pretty pictures and then fighting for your life in Lightroom afterward.

Friendly reminder: when we say “it’s fine” on location… we’ve usually already accepted our editing fate.

Which leads to every photographer having at least two personalities:

1. “This lighting is gorgeous.”
2. “Why is there a random object in literally every shot?”
