Welcome
Hi! I'm Chelsey!
I specialize in light & airy photography and I am located in Arizona. I am married to my best friend, Ammon & together we have our sweet little boy Daxton. I have always loved taking photos, and I am thrilled that I get to do this as my career! I use to pose my little cousins constantly when they were little & now Daxton is my new favorite little model. When Daxton was born, I wanted to find a career that could help contribute to family finances, but also be something I can set my own schedule, so I could be home with my baby. I was constantly snapping pictures of Dax, and eventually, he became my main motivator to pursue my photography dream that I didn’t think I would ever be skilled enough to do. I started with taking some online courses, and then I met an incredible mentor who has taught me so much! I feel so blessed that she came into my life. Now I am sharing my passion for capturing life’s most important and life-changing moments with the great people of Arizona.

I won a family photo session from Chelsey via Instagram, so I initially wasn’t quite sure what I’d gotten my family into. However, I am happy to report that it was absolutely wonderful! She was super easy to coordinate with when making arrangements, took us to a gorgeous location, and managed my three crazy little ladies like a rockstar. She was friendly, had my gallery available almost right away, and took gorgeous photos of my family that I’ll cherish forever. Thanks again, Chelsey! You were great!
Chelsey is Awesome. She is a great listener, if you have any requests or questions she is there for you with a kind and understanding ear, and an easy Can Do attitude. She works hard to get the best shots possible! Her soft confidence is impressive. She will consider your pics like they are her family’s photos. They are important to her. Thank you Chelsey for your hard work and willingness to deal with unusual requests. We will be contacting you again for some outdoor family photo sessions soon! Thanks for everything.
“Chelsey made my senior photos turn out amazing! Im not the most confident in photos. But the photos turned out great! I loved them. Chelsey made the process really simple. She helped me with posing and selected a beautiful location.”
Chelsey Is a super magnificent photographer, I know she put all of her time and effort in becoming an amazing photographer. She is also a super nice person, which makes her awesome to work with. Just remember if you ever want photos from her you will never regret it!
Had family photos done last weekend and I could not be happier with the results. Go check out @chelseymckinlayphotography if you are wanting photos done. You will not be disappointed.
Chelsey made my individual photos beautiful! The whole process was very straightforward, she gave me great suggestions on what to wear for the photoshoot and helped me with posing. With every location Chelsey picked every photo turned out gorgeous!
Chelsey is someone I trust in capturing moments that we all want to look back on. She is open to offering suggestions to clients and making them feel comfortable in the moments she loves to capture. I was so excited to work with Chelsey on my elopement last month. She was thorough, detailed and had an amazing presence behind the lens. Along with her dedication for her clients, she takes the time to really know those she works with. I'm honored to know her, to work more with her next year, and to now call her a friend.
Chelsey is great to shoot with. She made posing easy and the photoshoot fun for myself & my toddler! Thank you so much we loved our session & will be back for more photos
