I’m chelsea!
my mission is to empower women to both experience + savor life's greatest
joys.
I'm a Long Island native living in Wilmington, NC. But I consider myself more Southern than Northern these days since I've been in beautiful North Carolina for over 14 years now. I absolutely LOVE where I live!
I'm married to the man of my dreams, Jordan, and he is truly my best friend. Together we have a little boy named Sylas and he is our greatest blessing. We're also expecting a baby girl in August '22 and couldn't be more excited to welcome a daughter into our family.
To make a long story short, I went from a career in corporate fitness to taking my photography and coaching business full time in a timespan of less than 2 years. Since then I've never looked back! I'm so grateful to have a career doing what I love that also allows me to be home with my son during these precious years.
a little bit of my story...
When I started off on this journey of becoming a photographer, business owner, and entrepreneur, I spent hours upon hours trying to navigate it all myself. I wished I would have had the resources to walk me through everything I needed to do, step by step.
That's why I have made it my mission to help other women stepping into their dreams through offering one on one coaching, mentorship experiences, retreats, brand photography, online resources, and group workshops.
If I can build a thriving business out of nothing, so can you!

She guided us through our photos while making us feel comfortable, at ease, and simply just making sure we were enjoying every moment. Our gallery brings tears to my eyes and pain to my cheeks from smiling so big. Chelsea, we love you forever girl.

She was able to capture beautiful, candid moments as well as specific ideas I showed her. She is so creative, naturally talented, and an instant friend. I was also impressed with how quick the turn around was. You can tell she truly loves what she does!

A little more about me: I love horses, yoga, and a great latte. The things I treasure most are my faith, my husband + baby boy, my family, and my rescue pup, Wrigley. If I could spend every day near the ocean I would.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER
Even though I earned my degree in Exercise Science, I've always had a passion for pretty images. When I reflect back on my younger years, I think about the hours I would spend taking photos and editing them for my Myspace page or the website I made about horses when I was 12 (kinda embarrassing but also cool?). And I often wonder why I didn't pursue photography as a career from the start. But here I am now, and I wouldn't change a thing about the journey that got me here.
What's so cool about the world we live in today is that although it can seem saturated, there is so much potential and space for anyone to pursue their wildest dreams! And, you don't have to do it alone.
