Hi there! I'm Chelsea, a newborn & family photographer based in Grand Forks, North Dakota. As a mom of two young girls, I know all too well how fast the years go by and our babies grow. In a blink of the eye, we go from middle of the night feedings to their first day of school. 

As a newborn and family photographer, I have a passion for documenting the ethereal beauty of motherhood—those fleeting, tender moments that feel like a dream, while also letting your child’s unique personality and the beautiful chaos of motherhood shine through.

My work embodies an elegant simplicity, using soft light and carefully curated settings to frame your story with refined artistry. Every session is thoughtfully designed to celebrate the profound connections between you and your loved ones, and to reflect not just a moment but an enduring piece of artful expression that honors your journey.

Whether you're cradling your newborn, laughing with your little ones, or embracing the quiet moments of motherhood, I am here to preserve the beauty of your legacy with grace and care.

HELLO, I'M CHELSEA

so lovely to meet you

"We recently had our newborn and family photos taken by Chelsea, and I cannot recommend her enough! She made us feel completely at ease the entire shoot. She was so calm, caring, and knew exactly how to handle and pose our newborn. She also made the whole experience so relaxed and enjoyable for our family of four. Every photo turned out perfectly! If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, and a joy to work with, Chelsea is the one!"

"Working with Chelsea Nicole Photography was such a wonderful experience! She was so personable and made the whole process fun and comfortable. Her energy put me at ease, and it truly felt like spending time with a friend while she captured beautiful photographs. I couldn’t recommend her more!"

- Holly

" Chelsea is amazing to work with. Her editing is light and airy. I love that she helps with what to wear and she has a client closet. She captured moments I'll never forget of my breastfeeding journey and the attention to detail was so worth it!" 

- Shelby

" Chelsea is so intentional with her sessions and provides wonderful and cherished images. I don't know how she does it - but it's magic! I arrived stressed and anxious since I was a few weeks postpartum and not sure how these photos would turn out because I felt so unconfident with my self, but she made me a coffee, had a hair and makeup artist there and took my newborn for her photos - I got to relax and I knew my girl was in the best hands!! I didn't have to stress about having the perfect family outfits because her client wardrobe had everything. It's not just a service but an experience; one that still holds place for some of my best newborn memories."
