    "Chelsea has the gift to defy gravity and capture the act in her photos. Her shots are wonder-filled with color and beautiful poses. There is a passion that is noticeable in her stream, and you just can't help but be awed by it. I believe it can take her places that she can't imagine yet (;

    Chelsea, I hope your journey in photography will never come to an end and that forever you will grow in it!"

    "This girl has many testimonials, that means that her work is f'cking god damn gorgeous! ;D She has wonderful shots and is quite creative, the tones in her photos are amazing as well as the focus. She is an easy person to get along with and I don't mean it in the sexual way. The jump shots she takes are freaking god-dang amazing and the emotions she shows through her work is just like 'wut!!!!?'(In a good way). I can't wait to see her as a professional photographer, if she chooses that's what she really wants to be when she is older."

    "OMG, this girl isindescribable, it is so amazing how beautifully she expresses her emotions through her photography. You can see her inner person through art! When she is happy, her photos are full of bright colours, jumps, friends, beauty...When she is sad, there are dull colours, mysterious shots, etc. I dont know how she does it, but all i want to say is, never give up photography, you have a real talent!"

    besides the fact that she's super nice! she was the very first person on flickr to really encourage me and get me going and motivated to do better and for that i owe her everything.
    she has a true talent for photography and is a huge inspiration to me. she's well on her way to being pro (:"
