Some seniors walk in front of your camera once… and some you’re lucky enough to photograph over and over again 🎓

This past year, I’ve had the privilege of photographing Colton three different times — from senior portraits with his mom to a couple of individual sessions throughout the year — and every single time has been such a joy.

He is truly one of the kindest, most respectful young men, and getting to know him beyond just the camera has been such a pleasure. The sessions were easy, genuine, full of laughter, and exactly the kind of moments that remind me why I love what I do so much.

Colton, I’m so proud of you and all you’ve accomplished. I can’t wait to see what your future holds, because I know it’s going to be something great ✨

I am incredibly honored to share that I have been nominated by the Georgia Business Journal as one of the Georgia Best Photographer of the Year.

This recognition is something I do not take lightly. Photography has always been more than a business to me—it’s storytelling, connection, and preserving the moments that matter most in people’s lives. To even be considered among so many talented artists across the state is truly humbling.

If my work has ever moved you, served you, or captured a memory you’ll never want to forget, I would be so grateful for your support. Voting is open, and every single vote truly means the world to me.

Thank you for believing in me, trusting me with your memories, and allowing me to do what I love every day.

♡,
Chelsea

One of the most common questions I get from couples is…

“Should we do a first look?” 🤍

And honestly—it’s not as simple as yes or no.
I’ve photographed weddings both ways, and there’s something beautiful about each. But there are also a few things most couples don’t realize until they’re actually in the middle of their wedding day.

From how your timeline flows to whether you get a quiet moment together at all… it can make a bigger difference than you might expect.

I put together a blog breaking it all down—pros, perspective, and what I’ve seen firsthand from behind the camera.

If you’re in the middle of planning, this might help you decide what feels right for you 🤍
