I photograph the magical, loving moments of Your newborn baby by capturing bright, bold and beautiful images that touch the heart, and then turn them into tangible Art to last a lifetime.

How many years I’ve been shooting

I worked in a photography studio all through high school (graduated in ’04) where I first learned to edit. I got my first camera in 2010 and started my business officially in 2011 after having my own newborn. I’ve been learning, and growing and loving newborn photography ever since!

Let's Chat

A Bit of Wonder was created to encompass the wonder of your growing baby bump, and who this little person will be. The marvel and wonder of the newborn moments and little bitty parts that change so quickly. The imagination and fun of first birthday cake smashes. The ages and personalities that change every year for your growing family photos, all the way until that baby graduates High School. Let me capture the wonder at every stage; a photographer you can grow with!

I’m Your DFW Newborn Photographer

This full service experience is for the loving and busy mamas, the memory makers and keep-sakers, and the eternal moments of the heart. While my main focus is capturing moments you can never get back, I believe that those memories need to be captured forever in print. That is the true heart behind my business. Artful and emotional moments for you to love and relive each day.

This girl is all about ease, comfort, unconditional love, loud laughs, stunning heirlooms, and finding beauty in the creation, chaos and fun.

If you crave photos that capture fleeting moments, want pictures beautiful, bold and unfading, and if you’d like to make a new friend in the process, we will be a great fit. I can’t wait to meet you!

FOR THE NEW MOMS

You might be feeling like…

You want beautiful images of your newborn baby and family but there are so many choices for a newborn photographer it feels overwhelming and stressful. The time is flying by and you know you need to invest in these moments that matter but you don’t know where to begin. You want an effortless photography experience that eases your worries and lets you be in the moments of motherhood instead of stressing about them.

You want a photographer that provides everything you need to help make your vision come to life with ease. You want to savor these moments of your new little one and not miss out on capturing their tiny little frame and parts before they grow too fast. You crave images that are bright and bold and to have real and beautiful pictures that capture the true essence of motherhood, your newborn baby and your new family unit that is forever changed.

You’re quickly realizing that social media is not an album and scrolling through the thousands of pictures on your phone to find the ones you love is time consuming. You want to remember these moments beautifully and tangibly. To walk into your home, walls adorned with timeless moments that take you back to those exact stages and ages.

To snuggle up with your husband and kiddos, or grand-babies someday and build moments of love, belonging, and connection as you retell your family story again and again through your printed art.

I am ready!

Chelsea was incredible to work with for our newborn pics. Her gentleness & patience was commendable especially working with our stubborn baby boy. She is creative & captured the sweetest moments that we will cherish forever. It was a laidback & stress free photo session & that makes it so easy on this Mama. She has tons of props, blankets and the most glamorous dresses that you have ever seen. I can’t recommend her enough! We will be going back for family pics very soon & you should too! Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us!

Chelsea and A Bit of Wonder Photography has done our newborn photos and now our one year cake smash photos. She keeps everything so calm and relaxed, for mom AND baby! Her care and creativity she puts into each session is top notch. We love using her for capturing our sweet little girl! Not only do I recommend her, she’s a must for the best newborn session you could imagine. The pictures bring tears to my eyes because they are so wonderful, unique and absolutely precious. Thank you for the priceless images, Chelsea!

Chelsea was wonderful! I had my son’s first birthday shoot with her and it was Transportation themed (cars, trucks, planes, trains, etc). She went above and beyond on his custom back drop! I love it so much! She even added his name to a street sign for an additional personal touch. She made sure he was comfortable and we had all the time we needed. Her cake lady was amazing and the cake went right with the theme. The cake smash photos were so fun and cute. Definitely will use her again.

After finding the BEST of the best, we decide on a package to encompass all the images you want, with the ART you desire for your home.

I then edit your chosen images and order ALL your amazing products. I understand that it is so hard to wait for those amazing heirlooms, but I promise it will be worth the wait!
