AWARD-WINNING photojournalism & editorial style
- Athena & Chris
"Xiaoqi is an absolute genius in her art of photography. She got to know both of us very personally and once we shared our vision, she took it and turned it into something more beautiful than we could've imagined. Her eye for capturing the details that you want and even those you don't know you want at the time is truly unparalleled."

Preview galleries are available as soon as 24 hours. We'll meet to celebrate your full gallery in 8-10 weeks.
I pay attention to the little details, so you'll never need to worry about a distracting exit sign or unflattering body angle. Each image is subtly retouched to enhance your natural beauty while keeping you true to yourself.
And know that you’ll always be able to relive your story for yourself and with future generations. Each of my couples receives a stunning heirloom album, handmade to last a lifetime.
My years of experience ensure I know how to read the room and blend right in. Whether you're introverted and need a quiet moment to yourself or part of a crowd - fully immerse yourselves while my team and I capture everything with ease.
My clients value my business acumen as much as my artistry. I make it easy and clear to get in touch with me by email or phone, including evening office hours upon request.
In town in Charlottesville or want an extra reason a visit? I'd love to host you in my home studio.
AN EXPERT TO READ THE ROOM
I look for the beauty in everything, from the emotional moments to the gorgeous design details. But what I photograph is first and foremost guided by the essence of you and your event. Taking time to understand what matters to you most makes all the difference.
In collaboration with your planner, our conversations will ensure your timeline supports the logistics and creative vision of your celebration. My team and I will capture not only what you want, but also the moments you don't even know you need - until you see them. And all in my signature timeless style and color.

I believe printed photographs transform a house into a home. They allow you to relive the love and connection from your day, simply by walking through your home or opening an album.
Preserving these precious memories is too important to leave to chance. That’s why every one of my wedding collections includes a custom-designed album, thoughtfully curated to reflect your story.
Beyond the wedding album, I also offer an exclusive selection of the finest products, from elegantly framed artwork and gallery wrap canvases to striking metal prints and parent albums. I'll be with you every step of the way, ensuring that together, we create heirlooms that you’ll proudly display in your home.
