Hey friends! I’m Chelsey — branding, commercial, and lifestyle photographer based in Greenville, SC.
With 16+ years of experience (and a camera basically glued to my hand), I’m here to help you bring your vision to life, whether it’s for your business, brand, or life’s biggest milestones.
When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me kayaking, hiking, geeking out over wellness, or chasing sunsets with my husband + pups. Let’s create something beautiful together, and maybe grab a coffee while we’re at it? ☕📸

Branding session for real estate agents has been so much fun!
After going through my branding process, we pulled a few personal and unexpected images into her photos which gives her brand some creative flare.
One branding session creates a library they pull from for months — social posts, email headers, cards, ads. It stops the “I have nothing to post” spiral.
Instead of scrambling for content every week, walk away with a library of intentional images designed to market your business for months ✨
When I started talking to the owner, KC about her new newborn daycare that was opening and she mentioned she loved color, I said SAY LESS!! For her brand shoot we really focused on all the touch points that one of her clients would have as they entrust the daycare with their baby.
We focused on shooting a bunch of custom stock photos for her website and ended with fun photos of her staff with colorful backdrops that were intentionally color blocked.
Let's just say her brand is looking pretty bright!!

This week is National #SmallBusinessWeek — and this is your reminder to keep your dietitian local, too 🍎
When we think about supporting small businesses, we often think about restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops, and retail stores ➡️ but private practices matter too.
There’s something incredibly valuable about working with a local dietitian who:
🔹Can meet with you in person
🔹Shops at the same grocery stores you do
🔹Knows the restaurants, coffee shops, and food scene in your community
🔹Has relationships with local providers like MDs, therapists, PTs, OB/GYNs, and more
🔹Can recommend local gyms, fitness studios, and wellness resources
🔹Understands the real-life challenges and culture of where you live
And when you support local businesses, the impact goes far beyond one purchase🙌 For every $100 spent at a small business, approximately $68 stays in the local economy. Small and local businesses also account for 44% of U.S. economic activity. That money goes back into our communities — supporting local charities, schools, infrastructure, events, and other small businesses 👏
Choosing local means choosing community‼️
If you’ve been thinking about working with a dietitian, I’d love to connect. Set up a FREE 15-minute discovery call today and support local while supporting your health.

Had SO much fun with @nourishedfertility on her colorful brand shoot! We were able to get creative with her brand and give her an awesome collection of photos to use, bonus was working with such a natural model!!
Senior sessions were a lot of fun this year. It felt super special to shoot three Clemson grads in one day! Would love to make this happen again next season. Congrats to all the graduates 🎉
Peep the ending with a little dance on the Sikes steps 🤣

Start showing your cutie face!!
To client facing entrepreneurs, you are your brand.
Your audience needs to see you, so they know who you are and what makes you— you :)
Have fun, be creative and let your personality shine through.
Here’s a peek at @kimeadesrealestate branding shoot we did last month!
#greenvillerealestate #greenvillephoto #gvl #brandingphotography #greenvillesc
ON LOCATION | We are so excited to welcome owner Sutton Barrow and team of @madefourlagree to our VOL 10 family! This photo shoot was full of fun and learning about the Lagree method. For Mother’s Day, they are offering a class pack of five for the price of three - an awesome investment and gift! Book today and tell them we sent you!
Focusing on core, strength, and endurance, Lagree is a high-intensity, low-impact, anti-inflammatory exercise method that tightens, strengthens, and tones. We love how anyone, no matter your life stage, is welcome and supported!
