Chy was amazing to work with. I did not know the Raleigh area and she helped me determine the perfect area for my engagement and she captured it in the most beautiful way possible!

Chy was such a joy to work with! My husband and I felt so comfortable with her during our photoshoot. She gave great posing direction and was very good at keeping track of time to make sure we got all of the locations at Duke Gardens that we wanted during our hour session. Chy showed us previews of ours photos throughout to make sure we liked what she was capturing. Let me tell you, the photos looked incredible straight from the camera even before editing! She has a very natural talent for photography. We're so thrilled we chose Chy for our maternity photoshoot and would definitely choose her again!

Details: Maternity portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Chy took great photos of my family. She was flexible with scheduling, showed up on time, and engaged my young daughter. We were very pleased with the photos.

Highly recommended! Was so extremely helpful, kind, understanding and responsive! Worked with me considering my crazy work schedule and helped me pick a place for the session that I would like since I wasn’t familiar with the area. Such a pleasure to talk to! I would absolutely recommend to anyone who is looking for a photo session, I’m absolutely in love with the photos! I’ll be reaching out again in the future! Thank you so much!

I charged $180 hourly and also offer 30 minute bookings at $90!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It starts with me asking you some questions about what you were looking for, if you have any inspiration photos that would influence the kind of shoot you want and what kind of time frame and dates work best for you. Then we would get into locations - whether you have some in mind or none at all, I have a huge list of places to fit all the needs!

I have been doing photography and shooting models/editorial for 12 years. For the past 3 have officially become a business and have work with families, couples, wedding and engagements and sweet little newborns.
