Weddings

I have hand-selected several weddings that showcase my style well. I think every photographer has a niche, and mine just happens to be all things southern - beautiful rustic venues, lace wedding dresses, pretty pink peonies and all the southern traditions! I want that to reflect throughout your wedding day in my photographs!

Rodeo Photos

Combining my many years of photography education and experience with my own journey down the rodeo road, you get photographs that capture the essence of what exactly this sport is all about. Timing is everything when it comes to getting that money shot that we all want, but it takes a patient and watching eye to capture those in-between moments that truly tell the story behind every single run.

Barrel racing has always been something I have loved and participated in my entire life. Photography has also been a lifelong passion of mine.

Hey y’all!

I'm Chelsey! Lover of horses, craft beers, flowy skirts and grassy fields. My ‘y’all’ is authentic and my style is light, airy and colorful, with a little bit of a southern vibe. I love barn wedding venues and outdoor ceremonies under majestic oak trees and lace dresses and big bouquets and farmhouse tables under twinkling market lights...Seriously, I'm a southern girl at heart, born and raised right here in Dade City!

I use natural light to document warm, genuine moments. I live for that glowy light! I use fun prompts & show lots of examples to make sure you are perfectly comfortable in front of the camera. And I promise, I will laugh right along with you when I ask you to fake laugh!

The southern lifestyle is something I know and love, and I find so much inspiration in my everyday life. Capturing all of the most special moments in life has always been my passion. My intention is not only to take beautiful photographs, but to leave you feeling exactly the way you did in that moment when you look at them.

I am truly blessed with this gift of photography, and I cant’t wait to share it with you all!
