I bring over 15 years of professional photography experience and hold a degree in photography from the Alberta University of the Arts. I have worked with clients such as Aritzia, The Globe and Mail, Arts & Crafts Records, and The New York Times, and have been exhibited at Toronto’s Contact Photography Festival.

Alongside editorial and commercial projects, I offer portrait sessions for individuals, couples, and small families. My care and empathy for people led me to study social work, and that same outlook shapes how I approach photography—creating a space that feels comfortable, supportive, and easygoing.

In my personal work, I’m drawn to themes of nostalgia, rural abandonment, and isolation. Much of my photography focuses on the changing landscapes and small towns of southern Alberta, exploring what’s left behind in these rural spaces.

I am available for portrait bookings, commissions, collaborations, and print sales. Reach out at chelseeivan@gmail.com or click below to learn more about booking a session.
