We're Changing from Photography By Chelsee to Twelve23 Photo & Video Co.

It's still the same ole Chelsee behind the camera capturing your stories through photography and now my husband, Ryan, is officially joining me as our videographer. Together, we’ll be offering both photo & video so you can relive your memories in all the best ways.

Hi, I'm Chelsee! The heart behind the camera.

Florida native, wife, mom of two, and the lead photographer behind Twelve23 Photo & Video Co.

My love for photography started very young, I basically grew up in front of the camera thanks to my aunt, who was a studio and freelance photographer. She helped document my childhood and would even photoshop my late father into portraits. That’s when I realized photography isn’t just about images — it’s about keeping memories alive for generations to come.


Today, I specialize in weddings and lifestyle photography, with a heart for connection and storytelling. While I thrive in the chaos of wedding days, what fills up my cup are the little moments in between; engagements, maternity, family, and moments that make life beautiful.

I’m based in Tallahassee, Florida, and available to travel for love stories and life’s real moments. If you’re looking for someone who values connections and keeps things fun while capturing the moments that matter most — I’m so glad you’re here.

TESTIMONIALS

A lovely wedding couple shares an intimate moment with white bouquet against a blurred outdoor background.


"We love Chelsee. She was SO friendly and sweet from the start. She was easy to work with, flexible with my crazy family, and so understanding of how nervous I was. Being a brand new bride while also one that’s never had professional photos taken, Chelsee was able to see my anxiousness of having all the attention and spotlights on me. She never made me feel pressured or go out of my comfort zone on the most special day of my life, and for that i’ll be forever grateful. She offered some fun ideas for pictures and made sure to capture every special moment I asked for ahead of time. She also opted for a group photo with everyone of our wedding guests and boy that was such a special moment. The most beautiful pictures for the most beautiful day. Thank you, Chelsee!"

"Chelsee is a lovely human! We got maternity photos done at our family’s favorite park and the photos were beautiful! She captured so much love and joy in each photo. I highly recommend her for whatever your photography needs are. We will continue using her for our family photos!!"
