Want to learn more about what a session would be like with The Violet Tinker Photography?  I asked Chelsea to describe her business and this is what she said:

My goal is to create beautiful pictures and have fun while doing it.  I remember going to the mall as a kid and going through what felt like torture so that my mom could have a few family portraits.  It was never fun for anyone, least of all my parents.  My goal is to reinvent this experience for my clients.  We go to the park, to the beach or even to your backyard.  We have fun. I play with your kids, everyone jokes and laughs and in the mean time, we sneak in some great pictures.  Not only will you end up with beautiful portraits pictures of your entire family, but you will get great candid shots.  These lifestyle images really show off the relationships in your family and the personality of your kids.

  38. We’d do a long overdue family session. We recently moved up here and my entire family loves this state! Plus, it seems to have made my two little loves even closer. They are often holding hands and watching out for each other as they explore. They have rougher moments, too, but watching them take care of each other is heart-bursting.

    • And I’d love a newborn session – although our guy is 4 months old, so he may not be a newborn anymore!

  89. I would love to have a professional family session. Like all modern moms, I have a million photos on my iPhone, but have never had a real photographer take our picture. This would be an awesome opportunity which we otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford.
