“From the very first moment we stepped in front of Cheleana's camera, we felt like we were friends—her warm and welcoming spirit made us instantly comfortable. Over the years, we have shared nearly every significant life event with her, and we can't imagine our lives without our annual sessions! Cheleana always goes WAY above and beyond to capture the perfect shot, guiding us effortlessly throughout the process. It's like magic; you don't even realize it's happening! With her easy chit-chat and infectious laughter, every session feels like a joyous reunion.
What stands out the most about our experience with Cheleana is her genuine heart and love for photography and people. Every time we work with her, it feels like we are her only and favorite clients. Nothing about our sessions feels fake or repetitive; it’s truly special. The artistry in her photos is astounding—it's hard to believe a magazine hasn’t snatched her up yet! Each image is infused with emotion, making them feel like art. The editing is tastefully done, allowing us to feel elevated and confident while remaining 1000% ourselves. Her candid shots are my absolute favorite; many of the photos she’s taken of my husband and me, as our family has grown, have brought me to tears. She has given me the priceless gift of slowing down time and cherishing this beautiful life! She is worth Every. Single. Penny!!!
Working with Cheleana is an absolute delight. Her fun-loving and laid-back personality makes everything incredibly smooth and comfortable, even when working with little ones and occasionally reluctant husbands! She always has a great joke ready and a treat in her pocket—I'll let you figure out which one is for whom! :p Plus, she goes the extra mile by asking ahead of time if it's okay to give something to the little ones, which shows her thoughtfulness and professionalism.
Honestly, we have witnessed her handle every situation over the years with extreme grace and professionalism—whether it was battling the heat on our wedding day while super pregnant or navigating crazy weather, or finding the perfect spot for our photos. There’s absolutely no room for improvement in our eyes; we just hope she never leaves us! Cheleana has truly become a part of our family, and we look forward to many more years of capturing memories together. Thank you, Cheleana, for everything you do!
If you’re thinking of booking…. DO IT!! Trust me!!!! She will make you feel like you had the wedding of the century and you’ll want to stare at the pictures on your walls for decades!!!”
