Hi, I am Maleeya Xiong.

I’m a portrait photographer based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and I’m here to help you capture life’s most precious moments. Let me be your time capsule, preserving memories you’ll treasure forever.

My photography journey began in 2017, following the heartbreaking loss of my brother. It was during this time that I realized how few photos we had together and how many memories went uncaptured. That’s why I started Precious Photoworks.

The name “Precious” represents living life fully, appreciating each blessing, and acknowledging the unpredictability of the future. It’s also a tribute to my beloved brother, who left us far too soon. The “Photoworks” part of my name comes from my sister, Za Xiong, and her photography business, “Alluring Photoworks.” Including ‘Photoworks’ in my business name is my way of honoring the sister who inspired me to pursue photography.
