Get to Know Your Photographer

Hi! I’m Chelsea and...

Here is what I am all about:

• Making moms feel beautiful, loved, and seen is my jam.

• Call it lifestyle, candid, directed, or a combination of all of the above, but the end result will always be authentic images.

• You deserve to see your photographs daily, and my job is to help you make that a reality.

• This is about creating a real and artistic legacy for your family.

I know how deeply you love and how you dream of seeing a true reflection of yourself as a mother in pictures. Let’s make some photographs that will show your kids how loved they have always been.

I know what it’s like to want to see yourself reflected as a mother, not just the person who’s always behind the camera at home. I’m a mom of two myself, Rufus and Mabel, most days covered in their hugs, hunting for good light in my own living room, playing endless games of pretend and trying to learn a bit about baseball. Photographing families isn’t just what I do for work. It’s how I keep showing up for this loud, unfinished, beautiful season, one gallery at a time.

I’m happiest talking to curious kids, making reluctant dads laugh, and gently pulling moms out from behind the camera and into the story where they belong.

I’d love to photograph your family.

Into Motherhood

Motherhood is full of contradictions. The pandemic only compounded the isolation that mothering brings.

Through interviews, photographs, and poetry Michelle and I intend to use our art to replace the isolation of mothering with connection. We will peel back the facades and address all the contradictions tucked inside our hearts and homes.

Kind Words from My Clients

Jayme, Bothell

“Chelsea is an incredible artist! She captured my family beautifully. She has an eye for the raw, natural beauty that lies within motherhood, families and of course, kids! I’m typically not a fan of having my picture taken, but she made me feel beyond comfortable and beautiful. Not to mention that my son couldn’t love her more. Upon receiving my photos, I cried. I saw myself as a mother for the first time. These pictures are beyond priceless to me now, I can’t imagine how I will cherish these as the years pass. I was so surprised what she did with one hour. She got so many different types of shots and we had so many favorites in our gallery. It was so fun to give photos as gifts to our family and frame them for our home. We will be using Chelsea for all our family photography in the future.”

“I would highly recommend Chelsea Macor Photography to capture your precious moments! She takes the time to ensure that you and your loved ones are completely comfortable. I have never had a photographer treat my family the way she did. She pays attention to detail, and each of her photographs show this! My 2 year old was completely at ease around her, and I was astonished at how incredible our pictures came out! The pictures she takes will be some of your life’s greatest treasures! Definitely put your trust in her!!”

“Chelsea was a godsend. Working with her, especially with a toddler, to take family photos was completely stress free. She truly knows what she’s doing. I’ve worked with her for family photos, blogger photos, and styles sessions and I just cannot get enough of her work! So many of the walls in my house are filled with her work. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your story, takes stunning photos, and is just plain fun to be around...look no further! ❤️”
