Hi! My name is Chelsea. I've been modeling for 6+ years and after jumping back in for a few beautiful coastal shoots I remember why I love it so much. As a teenager, I was surrounded by girls, women and a standard of physical beauty that seemed to embody the exact opposite of what I saw looking back in the mirror.
Getting lost in a photographer/designer's vision has truly helped me become more one-minded, more focused, my form of meditation. It's made my meless judgemental of myself and others. The first time I stepped in front of a camera I felt more like myself, (despite the wardrobe and hair/makeup changes, I finally felt at home in my own body. I stopped comparing, and wishing I could look like everyone else - the years of personal doubt started to fall away with every job, Every shoot. As soon as the self-doubt dissipated, I realized, to my delight, many of the jobs and shoots I was being offered were highly due to the fact that I DID NOT look like everyone else!

Booking: (I'm outlining this bc I have worked under an agency and want to be clear about professionalism to protect myself, and my time, as well as yours.)

I'm a goofball, down to earth, spontaneous and just like you am passionate about the industry! Ask! IF I AM AVAILABLE FOR LAST MINUTE SHOOTS, I WILL SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY!

If we can't do something last minute...
Please contact me via MM or email; unless prior arrangements have been made.

Local Shoots:
I do reduce rates for local shoots.

Make me an offer, tell me your budget, or ..just ask! I'm fair and respect you art just as I wish for you to respect mine.

**I will trade an extra half hour of shoot time for a paid hotel if you want more, you can of course book more.
***Hours to accommodate shoots with multiple locations, have MUA/hair changes i ask that you understand that's part of the time I'm hired for.
