hey there! ITS CHAY

Chaydin is my full name but you can call me chay for short— lover of warm light, real love, learning new things, and turning tiny moments into forever memories.

I’m endlessly fascinated by how people love each other — how you interact, how you soften, how you look at the person who feels like home.

I live for the in-between moments, the real ones that can’t be posed and yes… I am absolutely golden hour obsessed. Give me that soft, honey light and I’m in my element.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME

 do not have a go-to coffee order — committing to one drink for the rest of my life? absolutely not. i’m a seasonal-flavour, iced-coffee-in-winter kind of girl.

01/07

i’ve been with my husband for 10 years, and we’ve built the sweetest little life with our two babes and two dogs.

02/07

i’m a medical/disability mom, and my oldest son has a rare genetic condition — he’s taught me more about strength, joy, and perspective than any textbook ever could.

03/07

speaking of textbooks… i have degrees in nursing and kinesiology, and i still pick up shifts as a registered nurse during my slower seasons

04/07

i am unashamedly obsessed with colour, beautiful light, and anything that feels warm + cinematic

05/07

i’m a reality tv girlie through and through — survivor is my superbowl

06/07

when i’m not behind my camera, you’ll probably find me snuggling my babies and my husband, going to church, taking my dogs for a walk, reading a good book, or having an unapologetic rot day in my sweats with my reality tv.
