GABY

CO-OWNER &
HEAD PHOTOGRAPHER

LOCATIONS: NICE, FRANCE & KITTERY, MAINE USA

I've been a professional photographer since 2014. I'm part French on my dad's side and speak french fluently. France has been a second home for me since I was little, and thus I know the country and culture inside + out.

I'm adventurous, outdoorsy, and love to live life to the fullest. Some of my favorite things when I'm not photographing are - skiing, traveling the world, hiking and electronic music.

I grew up in the Boston area and moved to Kittery, Maine in 2022 when I met the love of my life, Troy. 

We now live half the year between Kittery and Nice. We feel so incredibly blessed in our lives.

MORE ABOUT

PIERRE

CO-OWNER &
HEAD PHOTOGRAPHER

LOCATION: CONCORD, MA USA

I became a professional photographer in 1998 and started my first photography studio - Pierre Chiha Photographers. In 2014, Gaby and I created a 2nd photography brand called Chiha Studios to cater specifically to couples and weddings. 

I was born in Cairo, raised in Beirut and educated in Paris, so I would say I have a unique background. 

When I'm not photographing, I'm usually hiking in the White Mountains in New Hampshire (I've hiked all the 4000 footers) or traveling to places around the world. Paris has always been a frequent & special destination for me since a lot of family comes from Paris. 

Now that Gaby has moved to Nice, visiting her on the French Riviera has become the new special place for me.
