Ah, there you are! Hi, this is me.
A Poplar Bluff Photographer who serves the southeast Missouri area.
I am so glad you’re here. I’m Yina—the owner, lead photographer, and creative soul behind Bella Sky Photography. As a photographer, I don’t just take pictures; I create the portraits I wish I had of myself and my own family.
As you can see from my photos, I am interested in a lot of things. Whether I’m on the dance floor, practicing Taekwondo, or exploring a new hobby, I’ve always been someone who loves to dive deep into different experiences. This curiosity is what drives my photography. I don’t just see one version of a person; I see all the interests, passions, and ‘awesomeness’ that make you who you are.
When it’s time to work, I’m all in. You may find me in a jumpsuit—it’s my ‘uniform’ because it allows me to move freely. Whether I need to climb a ladder or lie on the ground to get the perfect shot, I will do whatever it takes to capture your most gorgeous possible moment. I am a proud Poplar Bluff photographer as well as a member of PPA (Professional Photographers of America) and a published artist, dedicated to the mastery of this craft.
My journey began in 2010. Since then, I’ve spent years learning from top photographers worldwide, developing a signature style in lighting and digital retouching. I don’t believe in ‘one-click’ filters. Every image I deliver is hand-retouched with care—a process of enhancement that turns a photograph into a piece of art.
Originally from China, I moved to the States to earn my Master’s Degree in Bilingual Education. Life led me here, I met my husband and started a family. We are now blessed with two daughters and a beautiful Abyssinian cat. This journey—from one side of the world to the other—has taught me that every story is worth telling.
I am an introvert by nature. I don’t talk much unless the subject is photography—then I could talk for hours! In our session, I use that quiet focus to observe every detail. I will direct your posing and positioning with care, so you never feel lost. You just show up, and I will handle the rest.
P.S. Fun Fact about me—I can’t work without a ladder! I’m only 5’1, so…↓↓LOL
