My Approach to Film

Kind Words





"The images Chinling created have elevated my business with a mature, artful look."

I had the privilege to be able to book Chinling for brand photos for my wedding and brand photography business. Choosing Chinling to capture my business was not taken lightly. I wanted to find a photographer that has a soft, artful, and meaningful approach and eye. Chinling has that and so much more!

I was very impressed with her organization, intentionality, and what she captured in the final gallery! She came up with great ideas in our initial call and transferred those over to an extensive custom branding guide that really made me eager to have my photos taken with her! I'm thankful for her talent!
