I'm a professional photographer, serving Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo Region, and surrounding areas. I have had the honour of capturing memories for families for over 10 years and watching these families grow and change throughout the years. Some families have even lovingly claimed me as “their photographer” and I wear that title proudly.

I’m a wife to my wonderful partner and a mom of three little ones. Sometimes it still surprises me just how fast kids grow and life changes, but it always reminds me how important it is to capture these moments. Regardless of how messy and chaotic life can be with little ones, the days are short-lived and pass by too quickly. I want to make sure these moments last a life time and line your hallways for generations to come. Your moments will become captured memories that you can re-live each and every day.

The #Chelsey Kae Photography
Experience

The experience you have during family photos is so important to me and the outcome of your photographs.  When booking me as your family photographer, I feel that the time we spend during your session should easy, and fun.  I am there to help the whole process go smoothly.

I want you to be smiling, laughing and feeling at ease throughout the entire process. I'll be there with you every step of the way, making you look great. I am hoping that you will feel at ease before, during and after you session. 

The experience you have while taking photos is so important because your photographer sets the tone for not only how the images look, but how you remember those moments.  So hiring something that you get along with and genuinely like is so important!  I have worked with many different clients and Its important for me to bring out the best in you. I want to capture the true you whether that means sitting quietly and waiting for your child to open up, cracking jokes or being silly and loud.  Sessions are held with minimal props in order to keep the focus on you. I want to capture not only beautiful smiles but the connection. Your connection that you have in this very moment with those that you love.

We will have a GREAT time together with everything along the way and we will achieve beautiful images out of it that you can gaze upon everyday as you walk down your hall or sip coffee while flipping through your beautiful coffee table book. 

Family session are typically held in a beautiful outdoor location selected in cooperation with the clients and photographer. Newborn sessions can be held in my outdoor studio (weather permitting), in my home studio or in your home for lifestyle sessions. 

Babies don't keep and families grow and change all too quickly!
Let's capture your precious memories so that you can keep them and relive them over and over.

What an incredible experience. I had the privilege of having Chelsey do our maternity photos in her studio and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I was a bit nervous that I wouldn't know what to do or how to pose, but Chelsey made me feel so confident and comfortable as soon as I walked into the studio. The photos are timeless and elegant and I am so grateful for her serious skills! Not only are her photos incredible, but she is simply a lovely and talented woman both in front and behind the camera. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone.

I AM SO EXCITED AND BEYOND THANKFUL!  Chelsey made me feel so confident and empowered!

Always a fun day when we get to do a photo shoot with Chelsey! We have had the pleasure of having Chelsey photograph many of our big life events; our engagement, wedding, the newborn days of both our babies, and our family as our girls grow. Her approach is relaxed and she gives great direction that is playful and natural rather than posed. I love the way the photos reflect the little things my kids were doing in those moments, capturing them in the pure joy of childhood.
- Casey

I came across Chelsey's website when I was pregnant with my first baby nearly a decade ago and booked her for a newborn session because I liked the look of her photos! 3 babies later, many photo shoots and lots of laughs I can honestly say I wouldn't trust anyone else to capture my family in photos! Chelsey is honestly the best and I without a doubt love every picture she takes of my family! She is amazing and my kids love her too!

- Ashlie

Chelsey has taken photos of us for over 8 years beginning when I was pregnant with my first child. We have 2 walls devoted entirely to photos that Chelsey has taken of our family and we receive so many positive comments on them. Chelsey has a knack for getting reluctant little ones to smile and with posing newborns! Very happy with all of our photos!
- Melissa

My husband and I went with Chelsey for our maternity and newborn photo shoots and we had an EXCELLENT experience with her!
Her fun, flexible, relaxed attitude makes her easy to get along with and provides a comfortable environment for photo taking. She has a great eye for candid photo opportunities and more staged shots that will blow you away (see two examples attached). She turned the photo taking experience into a joint effort - gauging what's important to us and what our personal taste would be while also offering great suggestions along the way. As parents of a newborn, we weren't sure if we wanted to have anyone in our - let's be honest, messy and chaotic - home. When Chelsey came for our lifestyle newborn shoot, she was amazing at working around the messes to capture some wonderful shots that felt like us. She was also great at handling our little guy - helping him look his best and making him feel comfortable. Looking forward to working with Chelsey again in the future! :)

Chelsey was fantastic to work with. She photographed my mother’s 60th birthday celebration as well as my son’s 6 month photos. She engaged so well with both the children and adults and made the whole experience so easy. Chelsea was so natural and easy to talk to, and was able to capture everyone’s personality in her photos. The only difficult thing was choosing which photos to purchase because they were all so beautiful ❤️ I would definitely recommend Chelsey Kae Photography. #guelphbabyphotography #torontobabyphotography

Chelsey has been nothing but professional for the several photo shoots we’ve done with our family. She always makes it fun, and never forced or awkward. I’ve often recommended her work to friends, and would do it again!
- Lindsay GM

Chelsey started taking photos for our family just before our first child was born. Since then, we keep coming back for more and more amazing photos. Chelsey is professional, flexible, and a pleasure to work with. She is patient with young children and making sure you love your photos is her top priority. She is extremely talented and dedicated. I have received countless compliments on photos Chelsey has done for us, and I am constantly asked for the name of my photographer. I can not recommend chelseykaephotography strongly enough! You won’t regret it!

- Lorriane

Chelsey’s photography lines the halls of our home. Over the past seven years (and four children!) she has captured beautiful images of our family by keeping the atmosphere relaxed and comfortable. Chelsey is wonderful with children of all ages and we have been very fortunate to work with her.

- Kristyn 

Chelsey did an absolutely fantastic job on capturing mine and baby’s first mama outing together. We used nature as the backdrop and she took the time to make us feel comfortable; giving tips/ideas for endearing positions and placements, which helped to snap the perfect shot! Thanks Chelsey, we will be seeing you again :)
- Natasha 

Chelsey has taken photos of us for years and the outcome is always great. The images are beautiful and Chelsey is wonderful to interact with. She makes you feel comfortable.
- Nicole

Chelsey did an amazing job on our maternity, birth and Christmas mini shoot. We couldn't have been happier with the quality of the photos and her professionalism. She made us comfortable behind the camera and was extremely patient with my daughter while trying to capture her at her best! I highly recommend her services.
- Brittany

So happy with the location of the photos, very professional attitude but fun to work with! Overall, great, creative photographer and a great experience!

Common FAQs

Q: How long have you been a photographer?

A: I first picked up a camera seriously when I was about 23. My husband, (boyfriend at the time) got me my first real DSLR camera. I started document children I babysat for.  I joined a school photography company ( yup! picture day). It was a blast. I made nearly nothing but it was a lot of fun and I made some great connections. I photographed weddings with co-workers on the weekends. From here I feel in love with photography hard. 

Q: Why maternity, newborns and families?

A: I have always had a passion for photographing children. I loved to capture them exploring their surroundings. Captureing the wonder in their eyes. I become an ECE and a teacher for that very reason too. When I become a Mom I found a deep desire to capture all the little moments that go by so quickly. I feel very passionate about photographing all things Motherhood. There really is no experience like it. It is beautiful, messy and full of love.

Q: What should I wear?

A: Oh my goodness! This can be one of the hardest parts of a photoshoot. Even though I help others plan their outfits, I always get tangled up and confused about what to pick for my own sessions. So I get it!  Have you fear beautiful Mama, we are in this together. I will provide you with a style guide to help you plan out your outfit. I always think neutrals are the best and I like to limit pattern but encourage texture. Maxi dresses are always so pretty but if your not a dress person thats ok!!  I do have a growing client closet. It is small at the moment but will grow over time. You are welcome to use anything in there.  I always say please no logos or words on your shirt if you can manage it. Also, consider foot ware! This is sometimes over looked but it makes a big impact on photos. Children can often go barefoot to show off those sweet little toes! 

Q:Can I bring my dog?

A: Yes yes and yes. Keep in mind, if we do a session at my outdoor studio, I have chickens.   This might be a deal breaker for you. We don't want your pup distracted if thats something that will bother him or her!

Q: When should I book?

Q: Do you photo retouch?

A: Absolutely. All of your chosen images will be naturally edited to remove blemishes, correct color, and enhance the overall image to make you look your best. 

A: As soon as possible! I only schedule a limited amount of sessions per month and weekends fill quickly, especially during the spring and fall seasons. 

Q: Do you offer any albums, prints, canvases, guest books, etc?

A: Totally! But I want you feeling 1,000% comfortable and excited about the quality of your photographs before placing orders on those. That way, you only order exactly what you want, when you want, and when you know with confidence that they are going to look amazing on your walls and in your fine art heirloom albums. And all of this is done & ordered right through your online gallery! 

Q: Do you offer payment plans?

A: Yes, I do! Traditional payments are 50% due at the time of booking (within a week) and the final 50% is due  prior to your session. But, if you wanted to do the payment plan, I can stretch it into equal 1/3's or 1/4's if that works best for you. Just let me know what you prefer, and I will make it happen. It's that easy.

Q: What happens if we or you get sick or it rains?

A: Let's face it. Things happen. Children get sick. Parents get sick. Oh Covid times... I try to be as flexible as possible. We will reschedule if needed. I try not to reschedule but thats life right now! Let's all be patient and flexible. I am a Mom too, I get it! 

Q: Are you vaccinated?

A: Yes, and my family is vaccinated as well. I've always taken the health of other families seriously. I will notify you if there's even a hint of illness in my house, and ask that your family does the same. I wear a mask for all indoor newborn sessions.
