FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

durham region family photography

Hey! I’m Chelsey. I’m a Durham Region family photographer. I specialize in slightly directed photography which means we won’t be doing anything super traditional or strictly posed. What we’ll aim to capture are natural images filled with genuine emotions of you and your family members. So none of you have to look into the camera and say “Cheese!” I give direction using prompts to create authentic actions, reactions, movement, and emotion. Sometimes I’ll ask silly questions, get you playing around, or into a “pose”. These are meant to gently encourage connecting, laughter, and tender moments. The secret to turning a good photo into a great photo is movement! It also completely banishes any stiffness while also creating more variety in the images. Even slight bouncing and swaying can add so much life and energy to photos. When we meet up for your shoot we’ll get to know each other so we can all shake off our nerves. (Yes, I am still nervous before every shoot.) I take the capturing of your life milestones seriously. After that, I’ll turn on the jams and start playing!

PS Looking “perfect” isn’t what we’re aiming for. You and your family are amazing as you are. What’s important is that our collaboration truly captures the essence family and each personality.

It will take me approximately two – three weeks to edit your Durham Region family photos. However, I know you’ll be excited to see them so I’ll send a few sneak peeks within a few days!

“Our photos were genuine, flattering, and showcased our personalities! Not only were the photos a success, Chelsey is so pleasant to work with. She has a soft demeanor, positive/playful attitude and makes you feel comfortable throughout the shoot. I would definitely recommend Chelsey and will be using her again in the future.”

"Chelsey is an absolute delight to work with!"

We have had the pleasure of having Chelsey capture family photos of us several times over the past few years. She does such a wonderful job making everyone feel at ease, especially those who are generally uncomfortable having their picture taken. When you look through the amazing photos she delivers, it’s evident that we all were having a great time. We’re laughing, smiling (naturally, not forced), they’re candid shots! Our most recent session included a 5 month old baby and a Bernese Mountain dog. Both don’t follow instructions, yet the photos were amazing. Chelsey takes her time and has amazing attention to detail. We look forward to our next time to work with her!

Chelsey is incredibly talented and professional...

Every time I have asked her to photograph me and my family she always goes above and beyond. I am so thankful to have her capture these precious moments in my life. I am looking forward to her capturing plenty more.

Capturing today so you can remember tomorrow

For playful + loving families who value connection
