They delighted myself and my friend with dad jokes, laughter, and […]

Brian & Brianna’s Rainy Engagement Session in Washington DC

How to Direct a Couple for Engagement Photos

“It was soooo fun working with Caili. I was thinking of asking Caili for senior pictures after I saw her other works. Although we got lost several times on our way to the flower field, Caili knew how to lead us just like how she did with the photoshoot. She helped us look natural and […]

Lina’s Summer Senior Session at Box Elder Campground | West High School

“I really loved my photo shoot with Caili. I’m pretty sure my friends and I were all laughing with her nonstop, and instead of being awkward like I expected it to be, the whole experience felt natural and fun.
