  Chelsea Blake Photography

  Jan 2013 - now

  Freelance Photographer

  Armed with my trusty camera and the desire to showcase life, photography gives me the ability to freeze time. Frame-by-frame, I can capture the excitement of a rescued pup, the serenity of a nature, the mischief of a friend, the innocence of a newborn, and the purity of love. As a freelance photographer, capturing images is all about fun and letting go. By focusing on the natural beauty of my subjects, I complete very minimal editing; I believe truly breathtaking images result from the perfect combination of spontaneity, fortunate timing, and letting the subject be themselves.
