Why Chani Gunn Photography?

I get it. Booking a photography session can seem intimidating. The “what-if’s” seem daunting, right?

Here’s the good news. You can think of me as your friend who has been there/done that when it comes to your photo session. I have encountered pretty much every possible scenario possible that might give you extra nerves during a photo shoot, and let me tell you- you will be surprised at the gorgeous photos we will capture. One thing I’ve learned especially in the most recent years of my life is a phrase I repeat a lot. “It’s just not that serious.” And let that be some serious truth for you! It’s just not that serious. And when you can breathe that sigh of relief and just enjoy the photo shoot for what it is, you’ll see the joy in your faces in each photo.

Once you book, all you have to do is put on your pretty clothes, get yourself looking and feeling fabulous and then show up! I will help you do the rest! From posing, to interacting, to pretty shots, to silly snaps, I’ve got it covered. Often times when I’m wrapping up a session I hear family members say, “Well, that wasn’t nearly what I thought it would be! That was actually fun!” And it really is!

I can reassure you, my “vibe” (although that word kind of makes me cringe… ha!) is to have fun and make your session painless and enjoyable. In a typical shoot, everyone ends up having a good time and realizing the photo shoots are more about interacting and spending time with your loved ones than being perfect and worrying about flawless perfection.

So back to the original question. What me? What makes my work different than the hundreds of other photographers out there? Well, friends. There are some fabulous photographers and honestly I can speak praises about SO many of them. But as for me, my heart’s desire has always been to take a moment, freeze it in time, and return that moment to you in a way that leaves you joyfully speechless. I hand-edit and meticulously go over each photo I give to you, looking for the smallest details to enhance or remove if distracting. I spend hours culling through photo shoots to find the best of the best shots from your session. I care about what you care about. And at the end of the day, I want you to smile from the inside out when you walk by that portrait on your wall, feeling the love, reliving the moments, the time of your life, and the gift of your togetherness. I want you to feel love.

I cannot wait to work with you, friends. If you’re ready to start chatting about your shoot, let’s get connected! Let’s get your memories captured!
