Very pleased!

We are very happy and satisfied with the service Chasney provide it. It was the first time we work with a professional photographer and she made us feel very comfortable. Our 10th years wedding anniversary pictures look amazing. The quality and spontaneity of the pictures makes it an unforgettable memory.

Chasney is one of the most professional individuals I’ve worked with. She was very flexible with our needs and was not at all expensive comparing to other photographers in the area.
Thank you Chasney for capturing the very best moment in my life!

Chasney’s work is a true Art Form. I love everything about her process! She has been our choice photographer for four strong years now!

On this particular Anniversary shoot, Way before picture day she was eager to take any ideas of mine (or that of Pinterest) to heart! She gently guided some poses, but mostly stuck to just following us like a quiet shadow on a playful day at the park with my husband.

She played fun music to get us relaxed and we shot many different looks at various places at the park. It was a fun day, and I have photos hanging everywhere in our house as a memento! The edits still look and feel natural, and they aren’t over processed.

Fantastic, Friendly Photography

Chasney was delightful. She is very knowledgeable and gently friendly. She lets the couple be themselves and reflects that in the photos. The editing style is gorgeous, and she takes many! She is flexible and easy to communicate with. Love her!
