Chelsea was super fantastic. We had been scouring Craigslist for an affordable engagement photographer, and not only did Chelsea have the best prices, but she also had good quality work. She was very communicative with us over email about setting up the session. We wanted to do our pictures at the Palace of Fine Arts and Baker Beach / Golden Gate Bridge. Just like typical San Francisco, the city was covered in heavy fog the week leading up to our engagement shoot. I really appreciated that Chelsea suggested we do a sunrise photo shoot. In the end, Chelsea was flexible to delay this a couple hours to allow the fog to lift a bit more. I was really happy that Chelsea made the suggestion to do the early hour shoot, because while getting up super early doesn't sound all that fun, our pictures turned out way better because of it. We didn't have to worry about working around people to avoid them showing up in pictures because there was no one else around in the early morning. I would highly recommend a morning shoot if you have the option. Chelsea also made us feel comfortable from the beginning and we had a really fun time with the shoot. She didn't put a hard stop time on the photo shoot; on the contrary, she listened to what shots we were wanting and did those and more until we had everything covered. It was very evident that she knew what she was doing from the way Chelsea was positioning us and the care she was taking in lining her camera up with the background scenery and lighting. We felt really good coming out of the shoot, but you can never really know for sure how successful the shoot was until you see the photos. Chelsea sent us a preview of a few photos later that day which was really nice since we were so excited to see the end result. We got a USB flash drive in the mail about two weeks later with the rest of our edited photos. They turned out really really great. I have no idea how we'll decide which photo to use for our Save the Dates since we love so many of them. Chelsea is super talented and easy to work with. I am blown away with the high quality of photos and service we got for such a reasonable price. Definitely give her a shot if you're in the market for a photographer. read more

OMG!! I first want to let you know that Chelsea (photographer) was absolutely WONDERFUL!! I informed her that she was so awesome that she could have taken pictures with a disposable camera and I would have loved her pictures. My daughter wanted to take her Senior High School pictures in San Francisco (basically to do something different). I was hesitant to find a photographer so far because I live 3hrs away. My sister suggested to look on Craig's List and to my surprise there were hundreds of photographers to choose from (that was a headache). Already hesitant, I came across Chelsea's listing; it was pleasantly simple and the price were truly reasonable for the personal service you get and beautiful pictures she takes. I took a leap of faith and I am glad I did because she was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted professional pictures that I can send out and print myself; the images were clear, colorful and positively breathtaking. My daughter loved her pictures that were taken at the 2 locations we visited in SF and now has something to brag about to her friends. I usually scrutinize every service I purchase and I have no complaints; the photos and Chelsea were amazing. So, if you are looking for a truly down to earth photographer Chelsea is your photographer. I highly recommend her and Thanks Again Chelsea! read more
