Perception Matters Photography

Qiqi was such an incredible photographer to work with! She took the most stunning photos for my event. Every photo was so refined, straight out of a magazine. She made sure every detail of the event, from the food to lighting, was captured perfectly. I could not have wished for a better photographer. Whatever type of event you need her services for, she will deliver the most beautiful photos and go the extra mile. I will definitely be working with Qiqi again!

Qiqi has been such a pleasure to work with. She is very professional, and has a true passion for photography. She has a great attention to details and really takes her time to make things look perfect in her photos. I always enjoy working with Qiqi and would like to continue to work with her in future events!

3^rd photo shoot with Qiqi for our son’s 1^st birthday shoot. The pictures turned out amazing once again. I highly recommended Qiqi, everyone is in love with the pictures.

My family decided to have our portraits taken and we were lucky to have hired Qiqi.
We wanted photographs to use for my son’s baptism invitations and our holiday greeting cards and Qiqi delivered beyond our expectations!
This was no simple task. We were shooting in a meadow with about an hour of light before sunset and a highly-​active toddler on a mission to explore every inch of the shoot location.
Qiqi was prepared. She knew the location very well, and had all her equipment on hand and ready. She’s patient, professional and made every shot count!
I feel the images capture the moment and truly reflect the love and happiness of our family. We love every image.
Qiqi gave us all the high resolution images and there were no additional fees. She had great recommendations for print services, but we were not required to buy prints or use a specific vendor or coupons/​groupons.

Qiqi is AMAZING and SO fun to work with! She is simply amazing! She really makes you feel comfortable in-​front of the camera. I can not wait to work with her again! To view images she’s taken of me…

This is for my engagement photos.
I had hard time finding my ideal photographer until my makeup artist introduced me to QiQi. She said Qiqi is a perfectionist and very professional, arty, and dedicated to her work. So I called and met her at a coffee shop for our first discussion. After the initial meeting she showed me her website and from that moment I knew she is what I want!
During preparation she provided me lots of suggestions/​ideas to help prepare for the best photos. On the shooting day she even stopped by the makeup studio and make sure my makeup and hair was ready for best photos.
We were shooting at San Francisco Palace of Fine Art and Golden Gate bridge; it was super windy and freezing! Only 50°F that day. I was so impressed by Qiqi’s profession, she prepared all the equipment and did such an amazing job capturing our personalities and made us feel so comfortable.
I received my engagement photos last week and couldn’t be any happier! We look absolutely «in love» and more importantly the photos are so spontaneous! They turned out so amazingly beautiful, even beyond my expectation. The more I look at my photos, the more I feel the love. I am so lucky to have Qiqi as my photographer.
I will totally recommend QiQi to anyone who is trying to find a great photographer, no matter for portraits or wedding, she is the only to deliver!!!

Working with Qiqi was a really fun experience for my English Bulldog and I. Firstly, she was incredibly proactive about making sure I got exactly what I wanted. She met me for coffee (Philz, of course!) before the photo shoot and we went through different blogs and photos on the web so she had a fuller picture of the aesthetic I was going for. We also brainstormed locations and outfit choices. She was so helpful about what photographed well and what didn’t and what locations would be best.
We spent the afternoon in the Marina district, snapping photos amongst the gorgeous and colorful homes off of Chestnut Street. She was patient with me and Rufus and was fabulous about giving me direction where I needed it. I was incredibly camera shy so it was good to work with somebody who knew how to get me more comfortable.
The photos turned out stunningly, I must say. To this day I use one of them as the blog button for Canines & Couture. I continue to get many compliments on it.
Ru and I highly recommend Qiqi. She’s talented, sweet, and holds herself to an incredibly high standard when it comes to her photography. You’ll be impressed.

I did two photoshoots with Qiqi and it was a great experience!
The pictures turned out amazing! Qiqi is so dedicated to her work, she took a lot of time with the shoots and brought all her equipment, and put a lot effort into the shoot, it was so nice of her and her husband to drive us all the way up to the location and take so much time for this shoot.
Qiqi is very professional, she is a very good photographer as I can tell from the pictures, basically every single shot from the set turned out to look fantastic!
She also made me feel totally comfortable during the shoot and I can definitely recommend her to everyone that is looking for a professional and talented photographer.
