HEY, I'M CHELSEA! A BOSTON & CAPE COD WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER. Most days you can find me working from the couch in sweatpants with my dog, Murphy, curled up right beside me usually trying to steal whatever snack I have in my hand. I’m a wife to my nerdy data scientist, Matt, and a devoted dog mom!
I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer, a hand lettering artist, an adventure loving homebody and a lover of all things comfy. I believe in making a fool of myself to get someone to smile. I promise to be the best dance partner singing all the songs the DJ plays. I love providing direction and I tend to make a fool of myself to evoke natural emotions. I’m organized to the point that I’ve already allotted extra time for when (it happens 100% of the time) the day gets a little behind schedule.
On the weekends, you can expect to find us kayaking down the river, biking through the trails, hiking random places or being lazy at the pool reading a good book. I’m obsessed with Chic-Fil-A chicken and waffle fries (well done though because I love a crispy fry)!! I’ve watched every episode of the first 7 seasons of Gilmore Girls at least 10 times (no, I am not a fan of the newest Netflix seasons. Don’t get me started on what they did to Rory or Lorelei and Luke’s relationship….and Paris, seriously? She should be president by now). Anyhow, lol, I am a very easy-going person. I am hardly found with makeup and my hair is usually up. I cut up with people and laugh way too much. I’m very straight forward. I get excited over little things. I promise to be the same exact way at your session!

MY WHY

4 years ago, I had all 4 of my grandparents. Today, while they're all still in my heart, I have none here with me on Earth. Time has passed and it's not the thoughtful gifts I received that I reach for, it's the endless supply of photos and tear-stained albums. They help me to remember the moments I never want to forget. The photos we have remind us of the love that resides within all of us the way few other things can and sometimes it is all we have left.
