My sweet, funny, cuddly little boy turns 5 today.  I remember holding my new little boy in my arms like it was yesterday.  I especially remember his birth as a big shock because I was expecting a petite little girl to come out…  Instead I got a 9 pound hunk of a little boy.  The ultrasound was wrong, but my little boy was just right.  And now he’s become such a big boy.  We couldn’t be more proud of him!

Every year on his birthday I take a balloon picture.  He loves swimming this year and wears his goggles everywhere.  They are his favorite accessory.  Here is this year’s balloon photo!

Kim is my pilates instructor at Inner Balance by the Sea.  And she looks amazing.  I’m so excited to be able to not only photograph her pregnancy, but also newborn photos.  And hopefully many more sessions to come.  We had the most amazing day at the beach, I couldn’t have asked for better light.  So beautiful!

    Great job on the photos! I know this couple and it’s so sweet to see the happy papa to be!

I met Candace because she’s a wedding coordinator at the Wild Animal Park.  And I was so thrilled when she and Philip hired me to photograph their wedding.  Since Candace obviously knows a lot about weddings, I knew it would be fabulous.  And it was!  The June gloom cleared for one day, their wedding day.  The venue was amazing, and we were able to do all the photos beforehand, so they got to enjoy their cocktail hour.  The decor was so beautiful, the food by French Gourmet was so yummy, and most importantly, Candace and Philip had a perfect wedding.  They are truly a couple that just works together seamlessly. I know you guys will have a wonderful future together!  It was such a pleasure working with you both, and I’m so happy to have been a part of it.

    Awesome pictures Chelsea!!! Tasteful and elegant, very well done!

After we finished photographing Cary and Lee’s wedding, Laura and I were blown away by how in love they are.  What an amazing couple.  It was well worth the wait for them to find each other, because they are just meant to be together.  Cary and Lee told me that they wanted their wedding to be a big party, and that’s what it was.  It really was a perfect day.  I have to give a big shout out to the vendors who made this whole thing run so smoothly!

Paradise Gardens – A beautiful venue and I got to work with my girl Alice!

Victor with Can-Do Productions – I love Victor, he comes with no drama, no ego.  He truly cares that his couples have a great time.

Sweet Flowers – Once again, a vendor that really takes pride in their work.
