Whatever chapter you're in, I am here to capture it in the timeless and extraordinary way.
You're looking for a warm, dreamy, and editorial photographer, with just a touch of mood to capture this chapter in your lives; I'm your gal. Over the last ten years of my career, I have honed my craft in photographing people + their stories in an authentic and candid way. My approach is to take you through a variety of prompts and poses, to elicit natural reactions and emotions in your unique imagery. My goal is for you to look back on your gallery, in years to come, and recognize and admire the genuine moments that took place in your timeless photographs. I will guide and direct you in a way that allows you to feel comfortable, and leaves no room for you to feel awkward. We will laugh together, and maybe we will cry together too-because these photos are special to me, as they are to you. I promise to provide you with an experience you can remember and cherish for a lifetime, through beautiful images you can print & place around your home, for others to enjoy too.

"I can not recommend Cheleana enough! She is so down to earth and sweet. It was our first time getting professional photo’s taken and Cheleana kept us laughing and focused the entire time. She is great at communicating and you can tell she has a passion for what she does. I will always recommend her and can’t thank her enough!"

"Cheleana was amazing to work with! Went above and beyond, listened to concerns we had, and even better, was able to control the family photo chaos on our wedding day. She stayed in constant contact with photo updates, and checking in about the wedding planning process. The actual wedding day, she battled the windy weather with grace, and got the most amazing photos. We look at them almost every day. Highly recommend her for shooting your wedding, it was well worth it, we are so grateful to have met and worked with her."
Josh + Rachel Roberts
Cheleana is everything I could have asked for and more! I am SO thankful we chose her as our wedding photographer. She gained a client for life, and I can't wait for her to continue documenting my life! Cheleana not only does phenomenal work, but her personality is what sells her business! I feel like I gained a photographer and a friend, and I am so thankful. My guests absolutley loved her, and she made taking photos SO much fun! She also created the timeline for the entire day. I truly couldn't have done it without her. SHE IS THE best!
