Hello Everyone!

Today marks my first day of blogging! I'm excited to start blogging and documenting all of my photo sessions. I have so many great photo sessions that I'd like to share with you all- past, recent, and future ones. I'll be blogging more about the upcoming photo sessions, and not so much of the past ones, however, if I have time, I'll blog about those too. I will also be blogging about announcements and a few personal life stories so that you all can get to know me, the photographer, a little bit more. 

This blog post isn't really about any photo shoots but primarily to announce the launch of my blog. AND, to say a huge THANK YOU to my supporters and fans of my work, I've reached 1,500 likes on my facebook page www.facebook.com/cxynb. Because you all helped me reach my goal, I will be doing a FREE PHOTOSHOOT contest. A few details to follow, so be sure to check my facebook page, and if you haven't yet, be sure to LIKE my Facebook page as well!

Last but not least, I'd like to make a quick comment before I end this blog post... the reason why I chose the name "Natural Bliss Photography" as my main photography name is because (1) I am primarily a natural light photographer, I hardly use flash unless I really have to and I don't do any major editing/compositions to my photos. It's natural, and it represents the kind of person I am and the people I photograph. Another thing, I also believe that if I have these expensive camera's and gears, why not get it right in camera first, right? Well, at least I try to for the most part. Don't get me wrong, I do do edits to my photos- by that, I mean, retouching, changing lights and colors if I have to. Again, I want to leave a great impression of how well I know my photography- therefore giving you all the natural look if at all possible. (2) No photo is ugly and or horrible; I believe every single shot I take are beautiful. It captures the moment in time, and thus it's blissful in every way possible. Bad or good, it's natural and blissful. And, lastly (3) Let's face it, no one can pronounce my full name- Choua Xiong-Yang. If I had gone with Choua Xiong-Yang Photography it will be too original and it will be hard for my clients to pronounce. I wanted a name that is simple and easy to pronounce, and to flow with "photography" and you might ask, why not then to go with 'CXy Photography'...Well, then I'll be too selfish, because.. while I am the main photographer who controls this website, email, and Facebook page, my husband and sisters are my backbones. They are the reason why I started this photography business in the first place. They are my assistants and strongest supporters. They helped me achieve and thrive in this photography business and that is why I dedicate part of this logo name to them. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am today. I hope this will give you all a better understanding of why I chose the name I chose and a little bit of who I am and what my photos represents.

Thank you Everyone for all the love and support!
