Chelsey B. Sidler

Some things skip a generation. Some things don't.

An ancestral creative duo who both photographed and painted in color before color film existed. Award-winning photography and graphic design on my grandmother's side. A grandfather who understood the darkroom the way some people understand language. An uncle I've never seen without paint and canvases around. A mother who is a covert and extremely organized creative. Two sisters who also caught the photography bug.

The eye for design was inherited. The rest I figured out with a camera I saved up for. Decades later, here I am.

My photography has always come with me. Through kitchens, small businesses, my own business, my family, my friends, my world. I love being present in moments of life, and I equally love capturing those fleeting moments with the wonder that is a camera.
