What is a boudoir session?

Traditionally, a sexy photoshoot, it's a gift starring the bride who gives it to her groom.

In reality, it's for you to capture all your curves in the best angles and lighting.

A boudoir session is an intimate photos

Hilary is always so awesome during photoshoots!!! I had taken her headshots when she was twelve(?) for a modeling opportunity and now, she's glowing even more!

I'm happy when she arrives excited for make up and hair every time. 🥰 I want every model

At long last, they're here!

I recently printed a few sizeable fine art prints of my favorite portraits. The fine art print is my choice of paper for photographs.

It's deep and rich in color.
The texture is grainy and smooth.

Post-Wedding Destination & Reading of Vows in Bali

Pa Chia Xiong took my wedding photos, in Bali, Indonesia. It was sort of a crazy impulse on our part to ask her with just a few months to plan, but she was extremely professional, capable and inspiring! She carefully planned the photoshoots over a couple of months, and in the end, provided us with hundreds of high-quality images that we could not stop staring at. She captured the best version of us and our chemistry. Whether it's in an indoor studio, or outdoor in another country, I've seen Pa Chia adapt creatively to her surroundings, and create beautiful images!

*Personality: Capable & stays on task, but also very kind & easy to work with...you'll see if you meet her!
*Communication: Responded quickly and often.
*Quality: Very professional, high-quality images. She went above and beyond for us.

I just wanted to say that you are so talented my dear, please do not underestimate your gift. Just echoing my earlier point, you are the first photographer I've worked with that created exactly the kind of work I needed and you succeeded my expectations. I hope that you continue to share your beautiful work with others and that your business grows successfully into the future. I'm going to do my best to advertise for and support you.

Pa Chia’s work has made a significant difference in my music career. I feel confident and bold when I use the work she created for me as a representation of my music and brand.

For my third album, I wanted the photos and album artwork to be unique, honest, and authentic to who I am. Working with Pa Chia, she not only delivered the most beautiful photos I have ever had taken of me, but she’s also inspired me with her calm and happy personality, deep passion, and knowledge. Truly, all the poses, angles, lighting, and the little things you wouldn’t think of while working with her, she just whips them out of her brilliant mind as if it’s common knowledge.

There are many creative artists out there, but Pa Chia’s work ethic, passion, and knowledge blows me away. Let me say that the vision you imagined before you stepped into her space becomes more than you ever imagined after you leave. I love working with Pa Chia. Her work truly speaks for itself.
