"Cheleana was a wonderful photographer. We wanted to get some family pictures while we were in Traverse City this summer, and are so happy that we got the chance to work with her. With grandparents to toddlers, she did a wonderful job of making us all feel comfortable and delivering exactly what we were hoping for.

I want to get to know you and hear your vision! Through email or a phone call, we will discuss what kind of session you're looking to have captured.
If you decide we're a good fit, I will send out your booking link. This is where you will fill out a questionnaire, contract + pay your retainer fee. Then, we can get to planning! You will be provided with a full family guide, as well!
Leading up to your session, I will be here if you have any questions. I'll be sure to check in with you to make sure you're feeling prepared + excited!
When your session date arrives, we will meet at the chosen location. I will provide you and your loved ones with fun and playful prompts to elicit natural reactions for those candid portraits we all love! I will play some some jams on my speaker, and the goal is for everyone to have fun!
Three to four weeks following your session date, you will receive a gallery of low resolution/watermarked images to choose your final selections from. At this time you can choose to purchase any additional images, or upgrade to the full package at a discounted rate. Once final images have been selected, a new gallery of high resolution images will be uploaded for viewing + downloads. Galleries stay online for six months.
Galleries take 2-4 weeks, depending on the season!
Oh absolutely! I provide a full guide that will walk you through wardrobe, location, and what to expect going into your sesh!
I will send out a booking link that includes your contract, questionnaire, and retainer. All packages require a non-refundable booking retainer that is equivalent to 35% of the total package cost.
If the forecast is showing heavier rain/lightening/winter storm, we can ABSOLUTELY reschedule!
"I couldn't have asked for a better person to capture these special moments for us! Thank you, Cheleanamarie Photography!"
"Lille made us feel so at ease in front of her camera. All our fears and doubts melted away and we were able to enjoy the moment"
"We will cherish our photos for a lifetime. They'll outlive us and become heirlooms our children will love looking at in the future."
