Hey, I’m chelsea
—brand + hospitality photographer, creative partner, and forever fan of moody lighting, good food, and small businesses that give a damn.
Chelsea Moudry Studio is a full-service creative studio helping restaurants, bars, boutique hotels, and makers show up online with confidence. Through film-inspired photography, intentional web design, and scroll-stopping social media content, I help businesses tell their story and actually get seen.
With over a decade behind the camera (yep, I started in weddings and yep, I’m in my 30s lol), I’ve learned how to chase light, capture real moments, and make visuals feel like more than just marketing. Now I bring that same candid, cinematic style to brands who want imagery with soul, photos that move you, make you hungry, and make people stop scrolling.
Whether you’re launching a new concept, refreshing your website, or need consistent content every month, I’m here to create visuals that feel like you.
Honest. Atmospheric. Just the right kind of bold.
If you’re building something beautiful, let’s make sure people see it.
what it’s like to work with me
I know how vulnerable it can feel to have someone photograph your business , especially when it’s something you’ve poured your heart into. That’s why I don’t show up with stiff poses or a Pinterest board. I show up with curiosity, creative direction, and a camera (okay, usually three).
Every shoot is built around you—where you’re at, what you’re creating, and what you want people to see. I work with natural light and real moments: candlelit tables, herbs being plated, your team cracking up mid-shift. The in between stuff that tells the real story.
If you’ve ever said “I feel awkward in front of the camera,” you’re in the right place. I’ve got you.
some of the stuff you’ll find on my personal instagram account eventually
I live in a small town on the southern Washington coast with my boyfriend, Rick, and his two kids. Most days you’ll find me with a beer in one hand and my laptop burning my thighs while I’m editing, designing, or doom-scrolling. (Mostly editing and design though. I swear I actually get things done.)
I’m a chronic over-sharer, former wedding photographer, and forever fan of cheeseburgers, string lights on patios, and saying yes to last-minute road trips, especially if we’re driving towards sunshine. I get way too emotionally attached to small businesses, love turning chaos into something beautiful, and will absolutely take a picture of your food before you eat it.
I like to turn the music down to talk, golfing even though I’m still learning, and traveling out of state, or ideally, out of the country, at least once a year. I love meeting new people, chatting with servers, and turning strangers into friends. I hate ordering at a kiosk. I’d rather talk to someone, always.
I’m the kind of person who takes care of the people I love—the one who brings snacks, fixes things last-minute, and shows up when it counts. And honestly? That’s how I show up for your business too.
This studio isn’t just work to me. It’s personal.
And I wouldn’t want it any other way.
