What does a documentary style session look like you may wonder?  Well, a typical session with me includes focused quality time where we will capture some of those beautifully posed classic shots, but I primarily focus on you just being you during your session while I stand behind my lens capturing a memory with every shutter.  During these sessions, we may meet at a park where you run and laugh with your children playing airplane, or tag, or tickling them among the fresh grass.  Maybe, we head to an ice cream shop with that special someone where you share your hearts with that milkshake. Or we might just stay in for a home session where you dance in your kitchen and share your favorite recipes or snuggle up on the couch while your beautiful children play on the rug at your feet.  The purpose of these types of sessions is to document life as you know it and see it.  Life through your eyes.  Documentary or lifestyle sessions offer something those other sessions don't, real, raw images that you will look back on many years from now and instantly remember that time of joy and happiness.  To me, this style of photography shows what it means to live in art.   

     My sessions also include various client location choices & studio space, easily accessible online galleries, beautiful and natural retouching, and a happy and fun experience!  It is my goal to help my clients relax and just live in the moments and let me focus on what matters.  When you book with Chelsea Mackey Photography, you are getting laughs and memories to hold on to forever!
