Celebrating the Journey to Motherhood

The Maternity Experience

My maternity sessions are relaxed and gently guided, giving you the confidence of knowing what to do while leaving room for natural moments to unfold. Whether we're in the studio or outdoors, my goal is to create photographs that feel timeless, genuine, and full of connection.

Let's capture the little moments, so you can relive them again and again.



I photograph maternity sessions throughout Guelph, Cambridge, Puslinch, and the surrounding Waterloo Region, creating timeless images that celebrate the beauty of this incredible season.

Pregnancy is filled with so much anticipation. It is the quiet moments before everything changes, the excitement of imagining who your little one will be, and the deep love that is already growing long before you meet them. It is a chapter that deserves to be remembered.

My maternity sessions are relaxed, comfortable, and focused on genuine connection. You don't need to worry about knowing how to pose or looking perfect. I'll gently guide you every step of the way so you can simply enjoy the experience while we create beautiful, heartfelt images together.

The result is a gallery that tells the beginning of your family's story and preserves the excitement, love, and anticipation of meeting your baby.

Let's chat! Send me a little note through my contact form and let me know all about you and your family. I want to know all the details and cool things about your pregnancy journey. 

I will respond as quickly as possible (usually within 24 hours) to discuss all the details, make sure we are a great fit for each other.  I will get your date secured on my calendar. and we can chat about your vision and details.
 I can't wait to hear from you!

1. Say Hello

What To Expect

2. Maternity Session


Let's plan your session. A few weeks before your session I will send you a little style guide so that you can make some choices as to what to wear. I also have access to a small client closet which contains some beautiful dresses for mom and some sweet little clothing items for your children. 
At this time we will also discuss the location of your session. I have a few locations I love to use but If there is a special place you would like to go we can to including my own outdoor studio on our property (depending on the lighting available). I always think it makes a session more meaningful if we can use a location with personal significance.

3. ask me Anything

Really truly, ask me anything. I am here to make your dream session a reality! I am here to help! From what to wear, what do we do it my toddler doesn't cooperate to the type of shoes you should wear. Please feel free to email me any time.


4. Let's shoot

We will get together at our chosen location and have so much fun! I will warn you that I can talk a lot and I can get a little carried away. I will probably tell you a million times " just one more shot" but its just so hard to stop when you're having fun. 

We will laugh and chat. You will snuggle, giggle, dream and play. I will really try to get to know the real you and have this shine in your images. 

5. your photographs


I cannot wait for you to love your images every single day. In order to do this I truly believe in printing your photos so they will hang on your wall. I want you to be able to walk by the every day and gasp. I want you do stop and stare at them every single day as they hang on your wall, large and in charge. These are your memories and I want you to remember them each and everyday. 

Yes, digital images are super amazing too and I also offer those. But there is something so special about an album you can flip through with your family or wall art that you can look at each day.

Simple.

Warm.

Inviting.

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!
