Former Ontario transplant based in the Okanagan Valley since 2006. I have fallen in love with the mountains, lakes, sunsets and it's beautiful people. Throughout my formative high school years, I was ALWAYS the one with a digital camera in hand, capturing moments with friends, family and colleagues at all events. When social media grew, majority of my friends utilized my photos to share their favourite memories of good times had.

Around the age of 19, it became clear that I had the makeup talent that my friends admired. Every girls night out consisted of a lineup of them waiting for their turn to get under my brush. When I realized how much I enjoyed creating art on faces, I started experimenting with full-face Halloween makeup and have now developed a deep passion for spectacular costume makeup.

I started modelling part-time circa 2011, and quickly realized that there is so much more creativity and beauty in that industry. The way the photos boosted my confidence, was something I wanted to start sharing with others. Believe me, I was so awkward in front of the lens, but my photographers would share helpful tips for posing and it stuck.




I love meeting new clients and helping them achieve their goal with their artistic vision. With my extraverted personality,  clients gradually start to let loose, laugh and have fun while I am capturing their best angles and it is something that brings me unequivocal fullness and joy. 

As my client(s), you can rely on me for a collaborative approach, and to guide you in ensuring you get the most memorable experience.

Now I get to do what I love and create amazing memories for others.

I am chelsea gormley, an okanagan based photographer, makeup artist, and hype girl.
