Chelsea Erwin Photography Commercial and Lifestyle

Please allow me to re-introduce myself!

Hi! I am Chelsea - owner/photographer!

I am a commercial photographer drawn to the stories behind the brands. My work is rooted in a clean, modern aesthetic, but what matters most to me is creating imagery that feels honest, atmospheric, and deeply connected to the people behind it.

In the over 15 years I've been doing photography I have realized strong imagery is more than just beautiful—it is one of the most powerful ways a brand communicates who they are. That’s why I take a thoughtful, collaborative approach to every project, spending time understanding your business, your values, and the experience you want your audience to feel.

I create visuals that leave room for texture, movement, and the in-between moments that make a brand feel alive. Whether I’m working with a personal brand, a small business, or a product-based company, my goal is always the same: to create cohesive, story-driven imagery that feels elevated, intentional, and true to you.

For me, photography is about more than creating content—it’s about building trust, telling stories, and creating visuals that help your brand connect in a meaningful and lasting way.

Launching in June: my new Food + Hospitality Media Packages. Created specifically for the incredible restaurants, private chefs, farms, wineries, and food brands that make Northern Michigan such a special place to dine and gather.

From farm-to-table experiences to beautifully crafted menus and products, Traverse City’s food scene is continuing to grow and gain recognition. Your visuals should reflect the same level of care and quality that goes into your work.

These packages are designed to make professional, story-driven imagery simple and accessible, with cohesive content that helps you stand out online, connect with your audience, and elevate your brand experience.

Join my monthly newsletter to get first access to the new packages as I will have limited openings for these each month.

It was so fun to finally get in the studio and do a more fashion forward shoot. Since moving to Michigan I haven't had the chance to get that side of me out. Looking forward to doing more of these now that I have my studio space! If you are an aspiring model, clothing brand or any other brand who wants to do something outside of the box reach out!
