Introduction: I am dedicated to empowering my clients through constant, on-going communications about the photographic process, before, during, and after a shoot. I do not strive for client satisfaction, I strive for client elation. Through my photography I bring out the best in every subject, product, and idea I photograph. I get an immense amount of satisfaction delivering above and beyond what my clients think is possible.

Our non-traditional wedding in February 2011 was at the Hoyt Arboretum in Portland, OR. Christie met with our justice of the peace and the groom to find a beautiful spot within the park. She pre set a camera there to record the ceremony then came back to the parking lot to photograph myself (the bride), the groom and our witnesses as we walked to the location where the ceremony would take place. Christie was fantastic about capturing lovely candid shots of us as well as having fun ideas for posed shots. After the ceremony we explored the park to find additional places to take pictures, including myself and the groom climbing into a tree. Those are some of my favorite. I love traditional film photography and asked if Christie would take several rolls of black and white film photos throughout the day. She was great about switching between the two cameras to make sure we had a bit of everything on film and digital. As I was about 6 weeks pregnant with our first child at the time, we also took some maternity/birth announcement photos. It was at her suggestion and I'm so glad we did. Her turnaround process was very quick and she provided us with several forms in which to access our digital photographs. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with her again in future.

Christie has done work for me both shooting portfolio images of my building remodel projects and personal images (maternity pictures). She is talented, professional, and great at getting portrait subjects to look good! She's also a super-pro editor and retoucher.

Christie worked with me to plan and execute several photo shoots that not only had beautiful results, but also reflected the personality of my business perfectly. Highly recommended.

Christie did a boudoir shoot with my partner and I and it was amazing. Seriously, the experience was a highlight of my life! She brought champagne and just made us feel really comfortable. The communication before, during and after was smooth and easy. And the shots are incredible - we'll treasure them forever. Highly recommend her!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I always meet in person or over the phone before any shoot. I explain my packages, my shooting style, and brainstorm with the client in order to come up with interesting and unique ideas for the photoshoot. I make sure I know exactly what the client wants and I make sure they not only know how the shoot will unfold, but that they also feel comfortable with me as well.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have a BFA in film, photography, and visual arts from Ithaca College, and an MFA in studio art with an emphasis in photography from the San Francisco Art Institute. In addition to education, I have worked in the film and photography business for over a decade.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I work mostly with local businesses doing lifestyle/product photography for their websites print advertising. I also work for individuals on a variety of types of portraiture including engagement, maternity, boudoir, and head-shots. I am just breaking into events, particularly weddings.
