Chelsea Starr Photography Chicago-based family photographer Hi, I'm Chelsea, a Chicago-based family photographer with an easy and natural style. Toddler refuses to look at the camera?

I aim to capture those perfectly imperfect candid moments. No worries. We'll play a game and get them smiling in no time. Baby won't stop crying? We'll take a beat and switch up the scene. The most beautiful photos come when you feel comfortable and at ease, and I'll help you get there. If it's with snacks and dancing and silliness, all the better. I hope to work with you soon!

Happy April!! 🌷🪻🌺 The real April Fools joke is this freezing cold and rainy weather after a perfect 80 degree day on Monday but you know what they say… April showers bring May flowers! And the bloom period is SHORT so it’s time to get those spring photos scheduled! Link in bio to book 🌸🌸🌸.

The sweetest, most fun session with my son’s bestie and his fam in their beautiful new home 🥰. Nothing more cozy and comfortable than a session in your own space where kids are free to play and come as they are!

We’ve been stuck inside with sickness after sickness this week 🫠 so I’m throwing it back to warmer days and the most adorable family! Can you even handle these sisters?! Taken on a beautiful day at photos in the park! Who is ready for spring?! ❤️❤️❤️.

If you want to capture your family in the comfort of your own home now is the perfect time! Message me for more details :). P.S. this session was so fun getting to see old friends and their adorable kids. Obsessed with this new sibling duo (and pup)- how cute are they?! ❤️

Currently freezing cold and letting my kids (and myself) couch rot, but trying to relive those early fall days of 80 degree temps and frolicking in the flowers ;). How cute is this family?! Reminding me that I still need to share 90% of my fall sessions… more cuteness to come!! Stay warm chicago! 🥶

Wow how are we already halfway through January and I have not posted anything here for over a month...oops! From finding out I was pregnant with our third in Sept to the busiest fall photography month ever in Oct to all my boys’ birthdays in Nov, Dec and January plus holiday craziness...I am finally just coming up for air and wanted to take a moment to reflect on 2025 and say THANK YOU! 😊 Thank you to the best clients old and new who trusted me to capture your family and milestones! Because of you I had my busiest and best year yet with many fun new opportunities (like photographing 25 families in 4 hours with Photos in the Park!) and so much growth (in more ways than one! 👶🏼). Thank you for your patience and kindness as I navigated this busy fall season while also navigating growing a new human and feeling positively ill (also big thanks to zofran and crackers for helping me power through all my sessions!). I absolutely do not take for granted that my job is also my passion and brings me so much joy, and that I have the loveliest (and cutest) clients in the world! Can’t wait to see what 2026 brings and continue to document your sweet families through it all! 💗💗💗

Actually obsessed with this child and this big milestone session. 💗 I’ve known this little lady’s mom since I was basically a baby and now we both have our own babies 🤯. So fun to see her silliness and happy demeanor passed down to this precious bundle of joy. I’m always honored to document these moments, but it’s extra special and sentimental when I get to do it for long-time friends! 🎈🎉
