I was introduced to Chi Photography by a co-worker. Since then, I have fallen in LOVE with her work. We have used her for our son's newborn and toddler photos as well as our family photos. She is skilled at capturing the perfect lighting and expressions. She's always very professional and in high demand. Be sure to book early!

Just stopping by to add on to her already exceptional rating. Chi is so wonderful. Her work speaks for itself. She is also really personable and cares about making the experience a great one. I was bummed when I tried to reserve a spot and they were all gone months in advance, but then she reached out to say she had a cancellation and fit me in. She even runs a bath for the kids after a smash session and provides all you need to make your experience comfortable. Read ALL her notes after making your reservation, they are important and will make the process seamless and enjoyable. Thank you Chi, you are THE BEST!

Chi is WONDERFUL! She did my maternity shoot & my daughter's 1st birthday shoot. Her attention to detail and perfection is unmatched. She was wonderful to work with to help you execute your vision. Being a photographer is not about just having a great camera. It's about getting those perfect shots, having an amazing space to shoot and editing those shots to perfection. I would recommend her to anyone who asked.

Chi is amazing! She has captured several moments of my children from newborn, six months, one year, and Christmas minis. Her work is outstanding and her passion working with children allows her to capture the perfect, most precious moments. Her skill set is one of a kind and she works quickly! Her home studio is flawless and comfortable. She provides multiple choices on clothing and backdrops. Definitely worth every penny! My family would highly recommend. You will not be let down! You will continue to use her over and over again!
