An open letter to the women who "hate having their photo taken":

Yo. I’m Chelsey: Wifey, Mama, Photographer, Professional Hype-Woman.

For realzzzz... I feel like I spent a large portion of my sessions trying to convince my clients how absolutely dynamically gorgeous they truly are. And it seems they never believe me until I spin the camera around and show them what they truly look like.

Once they see the back of the camera, they finally get it.

Ladies - you are beautifully you.

You are imperfectly perfect.

OWN IT for goodness sakes!

Do not wait until you lose 10 pounds or appreciate the length of your hair to book the damn photo session. Learn to love yourself just as you are today. Because your husbands, kiddos, family and friends love you just as you are. And they don’t need professional makeup or gobs of editing to find the beauty in you. So you sure as hell shouldn’t either.

xoxo - your hype girl!
