Our experience with Christine was quite simply amazing. While we hadn't met her prior to our session, our daughter felt so comfortable with Christine and enjoyed the photo shoot. When we received the pictures (within the timeframe she specified).we were thrilled! I had described to Christine the look that I wanted for the pictures and she captured exactly that. I can't express how happy we are.and every person we share them with asks who took the pictures because they also think that they're amazing. Thanks Christine.can't wait to book our next session.

We just received the photos from our second shoot with Christine and we were thrilled again! The first shoot was for family beach photos with our toddler and this last shoot was for our newborn twins and their big sister. Christine captured the life and spirit in our daughter on her favorite place, the beach! (Did I mention that Christine captured these amazing images while under serious threat of a massive thunderstorm rolling in?!?
Not to worry -- everyone was safe and the colors in the sky were fabulous!) As for the newborns, I may be biased about the subject matter, but let me say that these are absolutely stunning. I'm rearranging walls in my house to accommodate more! They were a pleasure to work with and the edits came fast -- which was great, because I was so anxious to see the finished product! They came armed with a car full of accessories and backgrounds and options that allowed the photos to look professional but still be in the comfort of our own home.
Since they are parents themselves, they handled and positioned our newborns with ease! I love all of my photos and can't wait for the next opportunity to shoot! Time to re-do the beach photos now with all 3 kids! :)
