Hey, can I let you in on a little secret… There’ Hey, can I let you in on a little secret… 

There’s still space for you in my 2026 calendar 🌿

I know it can feel like everything books up fast (and yes some dates do), but if you’re newly engaged or just starting to plan… you haven’t missed your chance.

I intentionally leave room in my calendar for the couples who find me a little later—the ones who aren’t rushing, but are looking for something that actually feels right.

Because choosing your photographer isn’t about locking something in as fast as possible.

It’s about finding someone you trust to hold the feeling of your day.

If you’re dreaming up a 2026 wedding that feels:
– laid-back
– present
– a little imperfect in the best way
– and true to you

There’s still space here for you.

And if you’re not quite sure what your plans look like yet? That’s completely okay too.

We can figure that out together.

Send me a message, or inquire through the link in my bio—no pressure, just a conversation.

Chelsea 🤍

Some wedding days come with a rhythm of their own Some wedding days come with a rhythm of their own — a little quicker, a little fuller, but still completely yours.

April 25th was one of those.

Warm air, bright light, Mount Baker peeking through, moving from Bear Mountain Resort to Olympic View with just enough space to take it in.

D & L moved through it all side by side,
returning to each other in the quiet, in-between moments.

And that’s what makes these feel like them—
not controlled, not overworked… just real.

If you want your photos to reflect your day as it actually felt, not how it “should” feel — I’d love to hear what you’re planning.

What makes this kind of session meaningful isn’t j What makes this kind of session meaningful isn’t just what it looks like—it’s what it holds.

When I photograph newborns, I’m not thinking about creating perfection.
I’m thinking about what will matter to you later.

The way your baby fits into your arms right now…
how naturally you pull them a little closer without even realizing it.

The quiet pace of these early days—
and the way life has gently shifted into something slower, softer.

The small, ordinary moments that don’t feel like much while you’re in them…
but will be the ones you miss the most.

This Victoria session wasn’t styled or rushed.
There was no pressure to make it anything other than what it already was.

It was simply observed.
And that’s what makes it last.

Because years from now, these images won’t just show you what things looked like—
they’ll bring you back to who you were in this season.

7 things you might not expect from working with me 7 things you might not expect from working with me—
.
1. The best photos won’t be the ones you planned
2. I’m paying just as much attention to the quiet moments as the big ones
3. I won’t try to make everything look “perfect”
4. Movement, laughter, and little imperfections are always welcome
5. Some of your favourite images will happen in between prompts
6. The setting matters—but how it feels matters more
7. Your photos will look like your life… just a little more intentional
.
Moorecroft Park gave us the backdrop—but none of this was about the location. (Although it did feel VERY special to stumble across an owl during the session!🦉)
It was about the quiet in-between moments.
The pauses. The small laughs. The almost-missed moments.
That’s the part I’m always paying attention to.
.
Because real always lasts longer than perfect. 🌿

Feed the Valley 2026 🌿
 Last Saturday, I had the p Feed the Valley 2026 🌿

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing the first Feed The Valley fundraiser at 40 Knots Winery. Together, over $21,597 was raised for the Comox Valley Food Bank—supporting hundreds of families in our community every single day. It was pretty incredible to witness.

A big thank you to Chris for bringing this event to life and for the heart behind it all. And to everyone who showed up, contributed, or supported in any way—those small actions add up to something really meaningful.

I feel really grateful to have been there to capture it all. Events like this are such a reminder of what community can look like when people come together with care and generosity.

Follow @feedthecomoxvalley to see more from this amazing night.
