Hi, I’m Chelsey !
As a Black woman and creative, I know how important it is to feel seen and supported. I’ve built this business as an inclusive, safe space—celebrating all love, all families, all identities. If you’re here, you belong here.
I’m a photographer based in Lansing, Michigan, serving couples and families across Grand Rapids, Detroit, and beyond. What started as a creative outlet in college—snapping senior photos and chasing golden hour—has grown into a full-blown passion and career I feel so lucky to have.
I specialize in weddings, engagements, family sessions, senior portraits, and everything in between. My style is warm, candid, and documentary-inspired, which means I focus on real moments—messy laughs, tight hugs, teary vows, and everything that makes your story yours.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me wrangling my sweet daughter, sipping iced coffee, or dreaming up our next family adventure. I believe that your photos should reflect you—not just how you look, but how it felt to be there in that moment.
Whether you're newly engaged, counting down to graduation, or just want updated family photos, I’d be honored to help tell your story.
QUICK FACTS ABOUT ME:
- Lover of golden hour and real connection
- Happiest when capturing love, laughter, and little in-between moments
- Real estate photographer by day, wedding and portrait storyteller by heart
- Forever chasing that perfect candid photo
Based in Lansing, Michigan and proudly serving Grand Rapids, Detroit, and the surrounding areas—but always down to pack a bag for your destination wedding or elopement.
Chelsey did the most outstanding job with our engagement photos. She captured the moment the question was popped, and we are forever grateful. She’s so professional and kind.
