Hello, I am Chelsea Ahl.
I am the owner and sole photographer at Chelsea Ahl Photography. Owning my own business has always been a dream of mine. I found photography 11 years ago and the rest is, as they say, history. A little bit about me…I am 41 years old and married to my husband, Lucas. We have been married for 18 years - together 20 years! - and we have two amazing babies together. Grace is 15 years old and Carter is 13 years old. These three people are my entire world. They truly do complete me.
Simply put — I love, love.

We got married in September 2015 and used Chelsea. From our very first meeting with Chelsea she was fun and made us feel super comfortable. She listened to what we wanted but also suggested things along the way. Our wedding day was perfect and our pictures came out amazing. Chelsea has a laid back attitude and we spent the day laughing a lot with her. Highly recommended for any event or family pictures you may need. We hope to use her again in the future for pictures of our growing family!

Chelsea has been photographing our family for over a decade. She is always there to capture our most important moments … moments that otherwise we would never be able to look back on. From our wedding to maternity and newborn sessions and all the milestone birthdays after; baptisms and Holy Communions … a very special nursing home session for my mother-in-law with late stage Alzheimer’s … and the beautiful memorial service we did for my recently deceased dad. And of course her phenomenal family fall mini’s and Christmas card sessions! She is a most trusted professional and a friend. She is patient, understanding, and has a way of capturing photos you’re left in awe of. The way she was able to discreetly photograph my mother-in-law in such a fragile state, while capturing our family having what would end up being one of her last “good days” or how she was able to show the raw emotions of the family and friends that gathered for my dads service. It just shows how her talent runs so much further than just the typical family photo. She is amazing with the kiddos … as a mom that worries they will not cooperate - I end up with a session that each photo is better than the last. She handles pressure and finds a way around the unexpected. Her talent is endless. We could not recommend her enough and will always, always have her as a part of our family moments.

Our entire experience with Chelsea from start to finish was a dream. Not only is she one of the most talented photographers we have ever worked with, but she is the kindest and sweetest soul. She has great suggestions, but also is willing to listen to yours and work with you to give you the best experience and outcome possible. Chelsea is an absolute doll and really and truly finds ways to connect with her clients. Capturing the most important moments of your life is something I would not take lightly and trusting Chelsea was the best decision we've made!
