hi, i'm chanel

Happy you are here!

I'm originally from Colorado and started my business there 8 years ago. When I moved to Seattle in 2017, I didn't know what to expect with moving my business across states - and WOW was I blown away!

I immediately fell in love with the nature, people, and knew photographing stories here would be a game changer. .

....and I just LOVE being a part it!
