psalm 139
You are a Child of God, you are wonderfully made, dearly loved and precious in his sight.
Like you, I am many things — wife, believer, photographer, educator, doula, and more — but most days, my favorite title is Mommy. Since having two babies of my own, I feel a deep connection toward other moms. We are strong, selfless, sentimental… and sometimes a little isolated. (Raise your hand if you’re reading this at 2 a.m. while feeding your newborn!) But even the hardest days are worth it, as this is likely the most magical and impactful season of our lives.
As your Wilmington family photographer, I am here to help you honor each part of your motherhood experience. From pregnancy announcements to big family sessions, my photography gives you a beautiful, tangible reminder of your current stage of life — however crazy and coffee-fueled it may be right now.
Hi Love,

After having my third and final baby, Chelsea helped me hire someone to make me feel beautiful (you know how difficult that is if you’ve been newly postpartum before), was extremely patient with the circus that was going on here, and beautifully captured a season that I wasn’t sure anyone would be able to grab. When she delivered my album, I was BLOWN AWAY and am so grateful to have hired her! Literally couldn’t say enough thanks and appreciation for what she has given me!
"Chelsea gave me photos I will cherish forever.

She is warm, kind, and so smart. She treats you like family and makes you and your children feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captures a mix of candids and posed shots but it all feels so natural and effortless. Her images are absolutely beautiful, and truly timeless. You can tell there is so much passion and depth behind what she does and it shows in her images. She is the absolute best photographer and person. You will love working with her!
"Chelsea is the best photographer I have worked with.

She made each session so comfortable and made me feel so beautiful even when I didn’t feel that way in my new body. She has become way more than just a photographer, she is now such a sweet friend to us."
"We couldn't praise Chelsea's work enough!

during every photoshoot, and was even someone I could lean on to discuss my difficult delivery during the newborn session. The cherry on top was the beautiful heirloom album at the end!”
