She was absolutely Amazing. Very nice and professional and did everything she could to make it a perfect engagement shoot, she had so many great ideas and helped every step of the way. She called me ahead of time and brain stormed with me for the proposal.
I would highly recommend her and her work For anything you’d need!

I can’t say enough good things about Chy! 💗 She has SO much talent! She made it so comfortable for my husband and I while we took pictures with our 18-month-old daughter! She’s so professional and has the best eye for lighting, angles, and positioning!! Highly recommend! So happy with our new family photos! 🥰

Chy is just amazing! She is so easy to do business with and is very professional! She is patient, punctual, and extremely thorough! We had a great time during the Photoshoot! We were a big group but Chy took the time and ensured we were happy with the photos. Having moved to a new state, she is our new favorite photographer and we can’t wait to capture more memories with Chy. We all had a great time! P.S. Talking about timeliness and punctuality, she sent the Photos for selection within just a matter of hours. Extremely appreciated and highly recommended! Chy is just amazing.

Chy is so great to work with. I really needed someone to walk me through the poses and make me feel comfortable so that I could have fun and let the pictures look natural and happy. She did exactly that!
She was an absolute pleasure to work with and made me feel so comfortable and confident! I really shopped around for a photographer and chose her based on her ability to make me feel comfortable and taken care of. She was not pushy at all and her pricing was well worth the work she has done!!
Thank you Chy!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
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!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
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.
