This is the part where I tell you I’ve studied photography in the classroom & out in the real world. Where I talk about working as a second shooter & interning at the in-house photo studio of a downtown Chicago advertising agency. This is where you’d learn that I was published in a national magazine & got to show off a cute little family of five from North Pole, Alaska. This is where you could read all of that & so much more.
But what really defines me is the every day. Raising four kids (under five, almost six), including a set of twins, just for good measure. This is where I share my work, my thoughts, my inspiration, my clients & their kids. This is where I hope you get a glimpse into my world, cause I’m ready to rock yours.

I have to admit when Harrison’s mommy wrote this on facebook, it made me tear up as well, “Thanks again Chelsey, I never thought that seeing us through your eyes would be that amazing and emotional thanks for having the kleenex handy!”
Thanks for sharing your beautiful new boy with the world, Jacque! He is so loved already.
‘this is the start of something good, don’t you agree’January 10th, 2012Somehow, ever so briefly, I found a quick few minutes of reading time & smiled as I read how one of my Wisconsin-photographer-friends (we like hyphenated titles like that ) wrote & reflected on her year.

Somehow, ever so briefly, I found a quick few minutes of reading time & smiled as I read how one of my Wisconsin-photographer-friends (we like hyphenated titles like that 
) wrote & reflected on her year. What really grabbed my attention was how symbolic ending the year photographing a newborn was for her. And then I realized for me, I literally closed the door on 2011 photographing this beautiful couple & their baby to be. A lovely maternity session, nestled snug in the hills, but still only a few degrees warmer than it was in town. (I saw two people out jogging that day, at twenty-two below zero. Yes … yes I did. I wish I could say I was one of those people who was motivated by that. Instead I literally shivered & went, ohmygawd it’s too cold to be running outside!)
I am so lucky to end & start my year (and continue my career) with something so amazing and so quietly symbolic. Bringing a baby into this world … love … tender kisses … it’s all so representative of what’s to come, ending the year expecting a new little bundle and starting the year fresh & new, with a little one in your arms … and yes, even sunshine ‘on a cloudy day’ rings true. Pretty amazing. Very emotional. Babies will do that to you. And your life.
Thank you Jacque & Robert …’this is the start of something good, don’t you agree‘
