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 Christine captured the life and spirit of our daughter at her favorite place, the beach! This last shoot was for our newborn twins and their big sister. Christine and David brought all the accessories and backgrounds that allowed the photos to look professional but still be in the comfort of our own home. The photos are absolutely stunning (and the edits came fast -- which was great, because I was so anxious to see the finished products!) I'm rearranging walls in my house to accommodate more! Christine and David are a pleasure to work with. Since they are parents themselves, they handled and positioned our newborns with ease and they know how to interact with toddlers. I love all of my photos and can't wait for the next opportunity to do a shoot! Time to re-do the beach photos now with all 3 kids!
