Testimonies

  • Christine made me feel so confident

    “Christine did my golden birthday photoshoot and made me a birthday cake, and I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer,

    Christine made me feel so confident (this was my first photoshoot ever, so I was nervous). We listened to One Direction the entire time and honestly just had a blast. I didn’t feel awkward at any point. She guided me through different poses and hyped me up.

    As for the birthday cake, it was absolutely AMAZING! It was exactly what I envisioned, but better!! It was delicious to eat and beautiful to look at! Book with her now for all of your photography needs, or even order a cake from her! I promise you won’t regret it!”

    Some of the best photos ever taken of the two of us!

    "Christine! You did SUCH an amazing job on Triss's photos, you really put them at ease and captured their personality. I think they are some of the best photos ever taken of the two of us!"

    - Jennifer

  • A woman with long wavy brown hair and glasses is reading a book while sitting by a large window, with trees and outdoor scenery visible outside.

    I feel like I'm really looking at myself in the photos.

    “I love the photos, they’re absolutely beautiful. They make me feel so happy about myself, and I feel like I’m really looking at myself in the photos, something I rarely feel in photos.”

    - Triss
