HOW TO GET YOUR KIDS TO COOPERATE DURING FAMILY PHOTOS | San Diego Family Photographer

Molly S.

“You know that feeling of wishing you could freeze time and keep your kids little? Christine has given me this gift. The connection, laughter, and genuine moments she captures allow me to exhale knowing I have these photos forever. She possesses the intangible qualities that make you feel at ease, laugh for real, and be present for just the right amount of time in order to capture the best of everyone. We’ve had many photographers over the years, but since Christine entered our lives we see her every single year. And the cherry on top is the quality of prints and other products she recommends — top notch. You are in such good hands with such a good human.”

“I can’t even describe how wonderful Christine is–from her amazing photos to her charming and calm personality. Her talent for photography is pure bliss! I always cringe at photos of me, but when we took our family session at Coronado Beach, I was in heaven–not only during the photo shoot but when I received the photos! Christine was so wonderful with my high-energy littles and was just so sweet and easy to work with. She truly is a gem and my family will definitely use her for our photos from now on! Her photos are amazing, but I also think having a photographer with such a calm and kind personality is also important. If you are thinking of having photos taken by Christine please don’t hesitate!”

“Christine is a pro. From an easy and organized process to set up the shoot, to her clear communication leading up the shoot, to the vibrant approach that helps capture the moment, and the final touches when getting the photographs. Don’t hesitate using her as a photographer. Great experience for our entire family!”

“Christine is a pro. Great experience for our entire family!”
