      KIND WORDS FROM CLIENTS: 


      “Meng photographed me at a crucial stage of my life. I was celebrating the success of finishing a movie that took me 6 years to make, but at the same time dealing with the loss of a 6-year relationship.

      I was experiencing a plethora of emotions and found myself growing at a rapid and honestly, overwhelming speed. I wanted Meng to help me document this period of my life. They not only did that but helped me see myself. I felt that in a way, they saw me even better than I could. They made me feel beautiful, powerful, sexy but also complex. They made me feel that my vulnerability is as beautiful and precious as my strength.

      They used their lens to establish the most beautiful connection that one human could make to another, a connection that makes you feel seen, heard and less alone in your journey trying to figure out what the heck is going on in life and in this world.”

      - Siyi Chen, filmmaker



      “For much of early 2024 I felt trapped. Meng and I did the photoshoot after what felt like a major transformation through four somatic coaching sessions, in which I made a promise that I will always center myself and show up for myself. This photoshoot was both a celebration of my growth and a ribbon tied on a monthslong existential crisis.

      I opened myself up, inviting Mengwen to see me. With great care and tenderness, they helped me unlock many versions of myself that I was unfamiliar with. What a precious experience we created together.

      When they revealed the edited photos, I was deeply moved to see myself looking strong, glowing and full of light. This was the best gift I have ever given myself.”

      - Shen Lu, journalist, writer, chef 





      “Last year was difficult--I suffered through a breakup, persistent lower back pain, and, especially, the sensation of being stuck in the same spot. Meng's photoshoot was the first time in a year that I had the opportunity to actually look at myself. It also occurred at the start of a new chapter in my life. When we took the picture, my weight was at an all-time high. My concern about my age and body was contained in my body. When I looked at myself through her eyes, I realized that I am more than what I believed I was--aka the "never pretty enough" face or "not slim" enough physique.I could seem incredibly feminine, comfortable, and motivating! It's a great experience, and I'm glad for such therapeutic experiences.”


      - Yanran Li, musician
