Chelsea Reidy
Hi, I’m Chelsea
I was born in Perth but grew up in mining towns around the Goldfields. When I was 16 I went Narrogin to board and complete year 11 & 12 at the Ag College, where I studied equine and cattle. Once I graduated I did a year in QLD as a Jillaroo on a cattle station where I realised this was not the direction I wanted to go in, so I returned to the south west until my early 20’s.
Though out it all I always been surrounded by animals, they have helped me through my tougher years and on a horses back or beside a dog is where I feel the most at peace.
I returned to Perth in my mid 20’s and met my fiance. By 2018 we became parents to our first daughter, and our youngest followed in late 2022. Now with two daughters, two dogs, a gypsy cob and a fiance I am ready for the next chapter of life- Career.
I have always loved using my photography as a creative escape. I was gifted my first DSLR for my 18th birthday and have been taking photos ever since. My gran instilled my love of physical photos in me, we have spent many an hour going through her many photo albums, re visiting memories I would not have been privy to without those photos.
So I tried the usual route most photographers take, starting with families but not finding my groove, I moved into product photography and while was successful at it and learned a lot about lighting, something was still missing. I decided to try focusing on pets and over the last 5 years I have poured my energy into bettering my photography education and skills and my editing ability too, while also slowly investing in my equipment.
And now I’m ready to start taking clients and creating art,
so lets get to work x
