It was a pleasure to work with Chi:)
She is not just an outstanding professional, but a very comfortable and kind person to relax in front of, during photosession.
Her photos in my portfolio are the gem and I am really grateful for the modeling tips that she gave me.
I hope to work with Chi soon again!

Chi was great. When I first arrived for the photo shoot, there was a man present. I wasn't sure what his role was and no information was given.
He seemed to advise Chi and answer her questions during the shoot. I was a little bit confused.
Later, when I received my photos, I was greatly satisfied. They were professional and just what I wanted for my new author website. The price was fair and she did an excellent job!

Reply from Chi Nelson Photography
Hi Linda, thank you for a 5 star review. The studio was my friend's which I was not very familiar with the lighting as it was his equipment. I apologize for not explaining his presence in advance. It was a pleasure working with you.

What a fun time we had with Chi photographing Ziggy! She was very professional and had all the gear to create great shots. She was creative with what we tried to get lots of variety of photos. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results! More...

I’ve worked with Chi and she is professional, reliable, and creative. In addition to the expected technical and lighting skills, Chi is always looking for a creative angle that expresses her clients personality. Her experience as a model helped me pose and get comfortable. I recommend Chi for any type of portrait work, including pet portraits! More...
