The Reviews
Nhi is beyond talented in what she does. She made me feel very comfortable and was such a pleasure to work with. My photos turned out beautifully and I'm beyond happy! My experience with her was nothing short of perfect.

Nhi Thai took my senior pictures with my two best friends. She is fabulous. We are very un-photogenic so we posed a challenge for Nhi Thai. She took beautiful pictures, pictures that we never thought we would be able to take! She helped pose us and made us so comfortable in front of a camera. I would recommend Nhi Thai to everyone. I hope one day she can take more pictures for me!

Nhi is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met hands down! She is so much fun to work with and made me feel super comfortable. She also has such a wonderful and caring personality. She was super fast with getting me my photos back and they turned out amazing! Nhi is an incredibly talented photographer and I would recommend her for all your picture needs 😊

We asked Nhi to shoot headshots for a group of 70 and simply could not be happier with the results. She was professional, flexible, and above all, produced incredible photos. Our team has worked with 8 different photographers over the last year for headshots in different states and Nhi is by far the best we have worked with.

Nhi was great to work with and really made sure to work with us and create personal photos. I loved that she took the time to get to know us before hand and it really showed in our photos. Our graduation pictures were everything we could have wanted and would recommend hiring her for any occasion!

I would recommend Nhi in a heartbeat! Not only did I feel so comfortable during my session (when I'm usually a bit self-conscious in front of a camera) but I also had so much fun!! Her photos are amazing, I couldn't even pick favorites from my session because I loved all of them equally.

I researched every photographer that was recommended, but ultimately selected Nhi Thai Photography for our son's graduation photographer. Her website captured her creative insight, how personal a session would be, and I felt she would capture our son's unique personality. I was right! Our photo session was very personable. Nhi's insight and creativity made this process seamless and fun. I would highly recommend Nhi for any professional photo shoot. She gets it and goes beyond what you might expect!

Working with Nhi exceeded all my expectations, her energy is amazing. She gave me all the tips on how to pose, and the pictures all came out amazing. I really cannot thank you enough for the experience and for capturing this moment. Thank you so much Nhi.

Nhi is incredibly talented and knew exactly what to do to make my photos look amazing. She's extremely generous and I now have beautiful photos to remember my time at Penn State. I highly recommend her for your photography needs!

Nhi was so much fun to work with and she is truly a talented photographer. Her approach to the entire experience is organized yet creative and she utilizes the skills and talents that led her to be a Professor of Psychology to her sessions by really getting to understand the client in a way that allows her to make sure their authentic selves shine through in the photos. I highly recommend Nhi and plan to enlist her services again.

I had the absolute best experience with Nhi! She was always so kind and a pleasure to talk to. Besides Nhi’s amazing service, I absolutely loved her photos. They were exactly what I was looking for and the editing was perfect! I would HIGHLY recommend using Nhi for graduation photos or any other professional pictures you are looking to get done!

Could not recommend Nhi enough! She was kind, encouraging, and experienced which made the shoot both fun and efficient. I typically tend to be uncomfortable in front of a camera but Nhi made it fun and easy by posing me as well as making sure she got any shots that were important to me. You can tell Nhi loves what she does as despite all the sessions she has done in the same locations for graduation pictures, she continued to be creative and make each experience unique. Definitely book with Nhi!

I chose Nhi because the photos she had on her website were stunning and I was not disappointed! The photos I received were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I wanted in my graduation photos. She made the whole process so easy and even suggested to incorporate my background in ballet into some of my photos! I’m definitely not a natural in front of the camera, but she guided me through the whole process. Thank you so much, Nhi! It was so wonderful working with you!

Nhi was wonderful. So sweet, thoughtful, and personable. The photos came out wonderful and I was really comfortable with Nhi. Such a talented and kind person! Would recommend for any occasion.
