A common misconception about boudoir photography is that it is created for the purpose of pleasing and arousing men. Trust me girl, it’s not. This is for us!
The world we live in is changing, women are taking control of their lives, their self image, their sexuality and their careers. Plenty of new trends are worth skipping over, this one is not. Let me show you yourself in a light you’ve never seen you in before.
Your session with Chelsea at The Alchemy Room will be tailored just for you. As soon as you walk in you will notice that you love the music. It’s not a coicidence. We’ve created a playlist based on your favorite songs & artists. We want you to feel as pampered and as comfortable as possible. You’ll be served your favorite drink & we will go over the outfits you brought and our client closet to put together the most flattering look for you. Our makeup artist will even coordinate your makeup to fit the vibe of your shoot. I will use the perfect lighting and pose you from your fingertips down to your toes. You won’t have anything to worry about.
My studio is located inside the 115 year old Peerless Mill that was operated mostly by women during WWII. They made wool blankets for the armed forces. Call me crazy, but you can literally feel their presence in the air. I have a room the size of my studio filled with vintage furniture, candle sticks, decor & clothing. I change my sets & closet often so my clients can come back again and again for a different vibe. And of course, custom sets are available if you are looking for a particular vibe.

Oh, hey, it’s me!
Stop trying to fit into the box society made for you. Make your own box, march to your drum & shatter the damn mold.

Hey, I’m Chelsea! When I was 8 my family was excommunicated from the Jehovah’s Witnesses. At 12, we moved from the Pittsburgh suburbs to the deep, redneck south. My parents made their living running an actual butterfly farm and I am a convicted felon because I tried to grow mushrooms. So, yeah, I’ve never fit in.
I struggled in my youth and early adult life. I was depressed, suicidal, emotional & hateful. As I got older I learned to embrace my eccentric personality and life experiences. I realized that all the other people are also just people, unfortunately, they really are all just doing the best they can. They don’t have all the answers and they don’t have it all together. In fact, I would argue that those who appear to “have it all together” have it together the least.
I don’t want anyone thinking I have it all together. I don’t. Anyone who tells you that is lying. I currently have more than 5 loads of laundry to fold, chipped nail polish, split ends, I’m still in my pajamas at 3pm… and I DON’T CARE. Wearing pajamas in my own house is not a reason to feel inadequate, they are my clothes and this is my house. I have 5 loads of laundry because I chose to spend my day painting my kid like Gekko from PJ Mask and we had a blast doing it. My nails are chipped and my ends are split because I don’t care about that crap.
For me, a key factor in self love is realizing that NO ONE IS PERFECT. Perfection is unattainable and you will waste your life trying to get there. You only have like 75-100 years on this earth and who knows what happens after that. Stop wasting your time comparing yourself to photoshopped instagram models. That’s not even what they look like.
