Who is chelise anna?

Tell me what makes your heart go "!!!" and I'll share mine

Based in Utah, with everywhere at our fingertips

Raised in the Rocky Mountains, home is where the peaks are high and the snow falls aplenty.


I am a passionate lover of skiing, California burritos, messy hair, and all things Surf's Up. Let me become your third wheel, and we'll document every little detail and feeling that's worth remembering. 



my Why:


Sitting at the desk of my high school counselor, I looked up, and I said "I haven't seen one for a while" when he asked what I saw for my future.


He then told me to make a vision board of everything that I would like to see in the time to come and the life I wanted to create. and if i didn't have a photo for it, to go out and make that memory to have the proof of filling my days with the things that make me whole. The things that make me smile when my head hits the pillow at the end of the day knowing that those memories are now a part of history that will forever hold a space in the world.


so here's to choosing to be here still, for practicing reckless optimism, and loving the grit through every single second of it.
The most beautiful people wear their hearts on their sleeves, and their souls in their smiles.

I love shooting with Chelise because her energy is relaxed and grounding. I feel comfortable and confident. She has the ability to capture the essence of a moment and takes great care of her work. Thank you x100!


BRYNLEE

Chelise is amazing! Not only does she take amazing photos that capture the natural beauty of both the model and the landscape, but she makes you feel so comfortable while shooting! I never felt comfortable getting pictures taken of myself, but Chelise made every aspect of it enjoyable, and the pictures turned out wonderful! An amazing photographer, and an amazing girl! 10/10 would recommend.


DOUG & SHAUNA

Chelise was amazing! She captured all of our special moments perfectly. She was great with our kids and knew what to do to keep them laughing to take awesome pictures. She has a natural eye in taking pictures that are awesome!


ALEXIS

Shooting with Chelise was amazing! We had to do a bit of a hike to get to our destination, but she was more than willing to try different locations until we got the perfect shot! She's easy going and I felt like I could be myself around her. Would highly recommend!
