meet CHELSEA
the heart behind the lenses
Here to uplift and inspire you.
Nestled in the heart of downtown Richmond, Virginia, my private boudoir studio is a sanctuary designed to embrace all women, offering a safe and inviting space to create an unforgettable experience.
My mission is for each woman who steps out of my studio to cherish her photographs and feel empowered, radiant, and enveloped in the self-love that boudoir beautifully embodies.
Hey, it's Chelsea
"She wore her confidence like a veil, radiant and unapologetically herself."

My heart
You are something to celebrate.
Every session is driven by my love for capturing the beauty of women in all their stages, especially brides in the exciting season of their life. It’s about more than just taking photos; it’s about creating a space where you can truly celebrate your confidence and the incredible journey you’re on.
I do everything with passion
I'm unapologetically me, come as you are too.
Your beauty is already there—it’s real, it’s raw, and it’s all yours. Whether you’re a bride-to-be or celebrating another chapter, my goal is to capture the essence of where you are in your life right now. I’ll guide you unapologetically, posing you with intention and care to bring out your best. You’ll feel completely comfortable, fully embracing this moment, and seeing yourself in a way that celebrates what makes you unique.
Comfort is #1 priority
I understand that boudoir is a celebration, not a journey of transformation. You come to me with confidence, and I’m here to guide you in honoring it. With kindness and care, I’ll ensure you feel comfortable and fully embrace this special moment in your life. Every detail of your session is about you and the experience you want for yourself.

present
I opened my own private photo studio to create a space where every detail is thoughtfully curated. I wanted to ensure the environment looks and feels exactly as I envision it, providing a consistent, luxurious experience tailored to make every boudoir client feel truly special.
Now, I have the privilege of serving the most amazing clients—brides and women from all walks of life—who come to celebrate and embrace themselves in the boudoir light, honoring their unique beauty and the beautiful stages they’re in.
I invested in my own boudoir session because I believe in walking the walk. I wanted to experience it firsthand, so I could truly understand how you feel as a client.
I began as a wedding photographer, and when brides started requesting boudoir sessions, I knew I had to offer them.
My Philosophy
At Bloom Boudoir, I believe in creating an experience where you can fully embrace your beauty and celebrate the chapter you’re in. My approach isn’t about posing or perfection—it’s about capturing the real, raw moments where you feel free to be yourself. Whether you’re a bride marking a new beginning or a woman simply honoring her journey, my goal is to create a space where you can see yourself in a light that reflects your strength, your grace, and your unapologetic confidence.
