Specializing in Elopements, Proposals, and Families! Follow me on Instagram Hi y’all! I’m Chelsey!

Your favorite Smoky Mountain gal with a camera always in her hand! I’ve been into photography since I was a small girl. I used to borrow my dad’s 35mm film camera (which I still have today!) and go on photo adventures. As I got older, I wanted everything to do with photography! I was the photographer for the video yearbook and my friend and I co-founded a photography club! That seems like a lifeti

me ago. My first client was my younger brother. He wanted me to take his senior photos- and I obliged. Then it only grew! More and more people asking for photos and I even shot my first wedding that year (2011). Fast forward 12 years and several hundred weddings later... here I am- still doing what I love the most! I am always learning and growing and trying to keep it interesting. I am a mom to an 8 year old sweet little boy. I am a wife to an amazing chef who has done amazing things in his career! (And I also get to take photos of amazing food dishes which is so fun!)

The butterfly was a paid actor 🦋
I mean that was epic timing. She happened to look right up at it and smile RIGHT as it flew towards her and I caught the whole thing. Not to toot my own horn, but TOOT TOOT

Talan reached out to me planning to propose in the Smokies and wanted to book an engagement session afterwards on the next day. They both still had that just-engaged excitement and their session was magical! Honestly I am getting so excited for warmer sunnier weather and also being booked and busy!

It was SO cold. Like actually freezing. The kind where your hands stop working halfway through 😂
But the mountains had snow on them in the distance and it was so beautiful.
They came in from Virginia and absolutely handled the cold better than I did. And y’all already know… I’m a sucker for good neutrals and they nailed it.

Winter sessions don’t get enough credit. It’s quiet. It’s simple. And when the mountains show off like that, it’s worth every second of not feeling your fingers 🤍

We’re heading into the holidays, and while the lights and laughter begin to fill the air, many families in Sevier County are quietly struggling just to get by. Food prices are up, the cost of living is higher than ever, and because of the government shutdown, those who rely on food stamps will receive no assistance this November, the month of Thanksgiving.

If you can spare even $1 or $5, your donation will go directly to the Sevier County Food Ministry, helping local families put food on their tables this holiday season.

For those who visit and love the Smokies this is your chance to give back to the people who make your trips special. The servers who bring your meals, the housekeepers who tidy your cabins, the cashiers who greet you at Tanger, the locals who keep this town running….they’re the ones who need a little help right now.

If you love this area, support its people. No one should have to struggle to feed their family or miss out on a Thanksgiving meal. 💛

You can donate via Venmo here:
