THOSE TOES.
As a mother, you'll do anything to protect them. No  matter what it takes. More than anything, you wish you could keep your baby under cover and safe from every cold gust of wind, or hurtful experience in the world that is surely waiting for them around every corner. But you can't. 
At least you can capture that quiet moment with a picture. <3

It was a dreamy day for Mr. and Mrs. Harris!

A recipe for an unforgettable wedding: blend a whole Halloween with one historical Vintage home, sprinkle lightly with loved ones (in costume, of course) and add a little rain. Rhonda and Jason had all of that, and I'm so glad to have shared in their day. I hope that these images capture the quiet intimacy of their wedding that dark fall day, and the free spirits that stood all around while Mr. and Mrs. Harris committed to each other for life. Blessings to the new couple!

  • About CE Photography


    I'm Chantal from Chantal Elise Photography--a mother, nurturer, and artist.
    My home is beautiful West Michigan, where I enjoy spending time with true loves--my husband and son. I started taking portraits because I delighted in the everyday flow of life; the quiet details of people, and their worlds. My goal has always been to capture truth, and build connections with those of whom I took photos of in a personal and organic way.

    To this day I still feel the same way about what is between my eye and the glass; a desire to freeze an honest moment in time that encapsulates who YOU are--YOU, the person on the other side of this screen, the one who I'd like to get to know. I want to meet you, and your loved ones. I'd like to photograph your essence in a way that honors your life--something you can cherish forever.

    Forget about rushed, contrived images--let's delight in the small, authentic moments of your world together.
