I’m Chelsea—a small-town Iowa photographer with a passion for scrambled eggs, wheat beer, and my collection of perfectly worn-out t-shirts. My journey into photography began with a simple desire: to capture the fleeting moments of my child's growth, her little changes, and all the milestones along the way.
I started with a $350 camera and, thanks to Facebook, quickly dove headfirst into the world of photography. After seeing an ad for a free webinar, I was hooked—I knew this was my calling. From there, I invested in props, wraps, and a client wardrobe to make the experience seamless for my clients. Along the way, I upgraded my gear and learned from incredible mentors, honing my skills in storytelling, lighting, client experience, social media marketing, and beyond. Now, I’m here to help you capture the moments that matter most.
