New Head Shots

I am one of those photographers that is not fond of being in front of the lens. When a camera is pointed my direction I automatically pull out the silly faces. So when Jennifer Low and I got together to take new head shots she had quite the challenge before her! Out of all the awkward looks I gave her I found two that I liked. One is here below. I know two doesn't sound like a very successful session, but it was! I have had sessions where I just didn't like anything. I have a lot of goofy micro expressions which can be very entertaining for clients, but they don't record well.


I will post a few of Jennifer's head shots next.

Tax Season Special

I was so happy when the accountant said "you are getting money back this year". Sweet!! Because we usually don't calculate it quite right and end up owing a bit.

I'm passing on my joy to potential clients. To celebrate I am offering 10% off any wedding booked between now and May 15, 2012!



























Offer cannot be combined with any other offers or discounts.
Offer ends 5/15/2012. Contacts and deposits must be received by 5/15/2012.

About Me

Now

Chyna loves to take photographs of happy people celebrating life and love. Intricate wedding details and beautiful brides keep Chyna's eyes observing and her shutter releasing all though out the day. In her own words - "What is not to love about a wedding! Everyone is happy, smiling, looking their best and there to party."

The Past


The first time Chyna took a picture, she was five years old. Not to say that was the beginning of her career!! It just happened that her mother, who loved taking photographs of her two little girls, had enrolled in a college photo class. While her mother was working on assignments Chyna would ask to take pictures too.

As time passed photography remained Chyna's number one hobby. During and after college she worked at photo stores and labs; all the while photographing her friend's weddings and portraits of friend's children. Upon moving to the Bay Area she took a legal admin position, but after a few years her love for photography moved her to start her own photography business and leave the corporate life behind. At that time she attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco to expand her knowledge in studio and location lighting techniques.
