History
Merritt Chesson Photography began as a documentary portrait business and expanded to cover events and incorporate more artistically intentional approaches to shooting and editing.
Specialties
Merritt's approach to photography is interactive and natural, capturing those spontaneous moments and keeping posing to a minimum. Flash is used minimally, with a preference for natural light. As a primarily relational person, Merritt naturally gravitates toward emotional, intimate, authentic people and experiences. This makes her especially drawn to weddings, births, families, and any story that reflects the kind of living that provokes intentionality and thoughtful reflection. Common events include... - weddings - conferences - bat mitzvahs + bar mitzvahs Common hourly sessions include... - headshots - engagement sessions - family portrait sessions - maternity, newborn, and baby sessions - content for businesses
