I get into the pose first
You see what I am asking for before you try it.
Meet your photographer
I'm Chelsea.
Your photographer, pose guide and calm voice from start to finish.
I care just as much about how the session feels as I do about the finished photographs. I will tell you exactly what to do, fix the details you cannot see and keep the room relaxed. You do not have to perform confidence for me. We build it as we go.
For me, photographs tell the parts of a story that words cannot. They become keepsakes you can return to—one honest moment held still, with every detail and emotion intact.
I want you to feel closely guided without losing the laughter, emotion and real details that make the photographs yours. The goal is not to turn you into someone else. It is to help you see the confidence that was already there.
What working with me looks like
Direct guidance without making it feel clinical.
I notice the details
Hands, posture, expression and the things you cannot see from your angle.
I show you the camera
You get proof that it is working instead of waiting weeks and hoping.
I protect your privacy
Your photographs stay private unless you give written permission to share.
Where sessions happen
Private locations, selected with intention.
Most sessions take place at a private location in the New Lebanon area. Select locations throughout the Capital Region, Hudson Valley and Berkshires may also be arranged based on the vision for your session.
