Introduction: This is Yonghui, fondly known as Susan, your neighborhood's go-to photography expert! With over a decade of experience capturing precious moments, we bring a wealth of confidence in both wielding cameras and perfecting post-production across diverse photography genres. Our passion led us to establish this local business post-Covid, inspired by the realization that countless birthdays and special moments were passing by unrecorded. Imagine having a professional photographer just a few blocks away, ready to immortalize your smiles, cheers, and moments of growth. There are two of us – mostly Susan, the face behind the computer screen and out in the field. We take your moments seriously, understanding that trust is established before we even begin a conversation. So, BEFORE REACHING OUT, take your time to explore our profile, FAQs, prices, and personal website to ensure we align with your vision. Our pricing is tailored for one photographer, but we're open to accommodate additional photographer or assistants upon request. While we primarily operate during weekends, we're flexible and can make exceptions with careful planning. Don't let your special moments go unrecorded. Reach out, explore, and let's capture memories together. We look forward to hearing from you and creating magic through our lens!

Susan was amazing and totally exceeded my expectations. She did way more than I expected her to, was very easy to communicate with and always prompt with her response. She is so friendly and personable which made picture taking much more comfortable. She was quick to get me my beautiful wedding photos that I will treasure forever!! I can't say enough about my wonderful experience. I highly recommend her and will, definitely, use her in the future if I need a photographer.

Absolutely loved my experience with C&W photography for my maternity photos. Very professional and nice, I felt very comfortable with Susan. She is very well prepared and organized, goes over every detail before the photo shoot to make sure you get the dream photos you desire. Definitely would recommend to friends and family!

Hi Liz, I want to thank you for choosing us to record your maternity. You and your husband are dream customers to work with! I so enjoyed the planning process and communication with you. You are sweat and gentle, very understanding. I appreciate you were on time the day we did the photo session. Glad we eventually made you comfortable in front of our multiple cameras:-) I regard photography as a relationship between clients and photographers. I couldn't help saying again that your red dress is so lovely! Best luck with the baby, and everything! Hope I will see you again!

I enjoyed working with Susan. We were able to connect very last minute but her responsiveness made it feel like we had connected a while back. The quality of pictures we received were very pleasing as well. Look forward to working with her in the future.

It was our great pleasure to work with C&W Photography for our pregnancy photoshoot! From start to finish, Susan demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism and artistic talent. She paid a great attention to details, from choice of the best shooting day and time of the day, to our poses and props. Throughout the session at home, she made us feel completely at ease and provided gentle guidance. She totally understood our happiness of being first-time parents and captured our emotion through her lens. Susan also worked diligently and creatively to retouch the photos. She asked us to write a paragraph to our newborn and made it as the background of our photo. How amazing it is! We are beyond grateful for her exceptional work. If you're looking for a photographer who can capture the wonderful moments of the life, we can’t recommend Susan enough.

Hi Sharon, it's very kind of you! I am grateful - you remember such great details after all these years! It was such a fun to photo you, I hope I will have the chance to do it again. Best wishes!

It was a great experience working with this photographer studio for my daughter’s graduation party event. They have years of experience of professional photography and take our family heart-felt seriously. They captured the best moments of people and things happening around. They also took time with us and try to get the best portrait of our family. The photos presented to us are amazing and we are so happy to see the best result with the time and effort they put in.

C&W Photography - Photographer in the Neighborhood's reply

It was a pleasure to photo your daughter and her friends. Happy moments, happy photos. I am grateful you trusted us to record the milestone in her life. It was a beautiful afternoon. Wish the memory lasts and we will see you and your family again soon!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Refer to my prices as listed. Repeating customers please ask for a discount. If you have a financial situation, please talk to me.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Pre-session: After your lead with me is confirmed, and initial message chats, I prefer we talk over the phone to get to know each other, about the person(s) to be photographed, your expectations & style preferences, cost, props, location, duration, wardrobe, and other logistics. You will receive, sign and email back a document that reflects what we have agreed. You will pay $50 deposit for portrait photos or 25% deposit for event photos. Check out my website for refund policy. During the session: Once we are at the location, I'd like us to chat a bit. It is important to be comfortable and at ease with me and the equipment around. I can design poses if you need such guidance. Feel free to design your own poses and bring your favorite props. You will pay the remaining balance on the day of the photo session. Post-session: For non-wedding photos you will get digital files in about 1 week. Express service is available as an add-on, explicitly identified in the pre-session. The photos are downloadable in an online gallery accessible by you only. You are free to share with your friends and relatives. The photos will be deleted from the online album and my computer after 1 month.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We self-taught photography by doing over a decade. I also do videography, for which I was trained by New York Film Academy.
