I am Gia, Your Bright and Light Stockton Photographer!

Ready for Amazing Photos and a Great Experience Before, During and After Your Session?

Before the Session: Once you book with me, I send you a Client Experience Guide. It helps you choose outfits with tips and photo examples. We also plan your session through a phone call, Zoom conference call or a questionnaire.

During the Session: “We are awkward in photos” sound familiar? I demonstrate poses, especially for folks who get conscious in front of the camera.  I also squeal and do a happy dance when we get epic shots!

After the Session: One of my favorite things is to present your gallery over Zoom.  We get to appreciate our photos together!  You also get the convenience of ordering prints and albums straight from the gallery.  No more downloading and re-uploading photos onto another site.

Sounds wonderful? Click “Contact” on the menu, fill out the Contact Form and I will talk to you soon!

Get To Know | gia chong

Favorite Travel Spot:   Anywhere with awesome food!  I loved what I ate in Napa, San Francisco, Seattle, Montreal, Tokyo, Seoul and Reykjavik, just to name a few 🙂 

GUILTY PLEASURES:  1) Sleeping in and not needing to set an alarm.  2) Watching The Great British Baking Show by myself or geeking out over anime shows like My Hero Academia with my son and husband.

Best Advice:   Just start and everything will follow.

Favorite Marvel Movie(s):   Shang-chi and the Ten Rings AND Thor: Ragnarok 

Secret Talent:   Making tasty food with leftovers AND singing “Dancing Queen” by Abba in karaoke!

What Clients are saying

“

Gia was not only flexible, she worked really hard in getting our game on by instructing us when to smile, laugh, and captured us in our natural form so exquisitely. She even brought a squeaky pet toy 🧸 to be able to get Pawley and Maddie (our fur babies) to look directly at the camera 📸 #madpawlove  

Overall I’m so happy how my pictures turned out. And will be back for more!

Dina @rodijuha08_doky and her family are avid #HarryPotter fans!  So I was not surprised when they asked if a portion of their #FamilySession be Potter themed!  If the University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music stood as Marshall College for Indiana Jones, I then thought the campus would also be a great stand in for #Hogwarts! Check out this #reel to see all the magical fun we had 😃⁠

I feel like I won the lottery!  I have 11 people and 3 out of 4 dogs looking at the camera!  Sioxson Family for the win! 😁 ⁠
⁠
It's been a pleasure to work with Jenn @sunandski and her family for the past 2 years/4 shoots 😊 Last Sunday's session was special because all her kids and significant others were in town. We also had 4 fur babies join us.  They set the bar high for large family sessions!⁠

Looking forward to photographing Dina @rodijuha08_doky and her family again!  Tomorrow's session would be their 4th family shoot with me since they moved to California.  We'll be shooting at UOP, one of my favorite locations and we'll get to play with some themed ideas.  SUPER EXCITED!! Hope your weekend plans are as exciting as mine!⁠

Happy National Sons Day Adrian @emperorchong982! ⁠
⁠
Thank you for always humoring me when I tell you that you will be in a photo shoot (even when you don't want to 😅). You are always ready with a smile when I ask (like here with your Godmother Joy and Ate JD). I thank God for you and how you have enriched your parents' lives. ⁠
⁠
Good luck on race day today at Lodi Lake Park 😀⁠
