Cristina was fantastic. She was extremely responsive, made sure to cover every small detail of our surprise proposal shoot, made my fiancé and I comfortable, and was able to pivot and work with difficult lighting in the moment. Her work was extremely professional for the price we paid and made our special moment one we will never forget. I would 100% recommend Cristina and her team for any photo shoot.
Details: Proposal photoshoot • Traditional posed • Candid • Artful composition and lighting • Natural or environmental • Outdoors • One location • Online or digital proofs and prints • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Cristina and Diane did an excellent job capturing our wedding on our special day! We were looking for photographers who would specialize in outdoor weddings and they did not disappoint. Our backyard wedding looked absolutely ethereal and they captured so many beautiful candid moments throughout the evening that I didn't even realize they were watching until after we just received our sneak peek! Thank you so much to the team at A Moment to Love!
Details: Wedding • 50 - 99 guests • Outdoors • Digital or online download

Book her now! It was such an amazing pleasure to have Cristina and her team work on our family photo shoot / maternity shoot. She was extremely informative, super responsive, helped us prepare in the best way possible for our shoot, helped us pick best location and can I just say the photo shoot was stress free, easy going, super fun, and just felt so organic and genuine. We are incredibly grateful to Cristina for the amazing work she did from start to finish and for capturing such beautiful memories of our family and the photos are chefs kiss best photos we have of our family. We have a 5yr old and Cristina and her team were amazing with him and were patient and caring towards him.
We are incredibly happy with how everything went. Cristina was very professional, kind and has a easy going personality. Cristina and her team are amazing! We look forward to working with her again on our next project. Cristina captured such beautiful pictures. She is truly magic! Look no further, book her now - you will not regret it!

Cristina was not only a master behind the camera but also a true professional. They arrived on time and made every shot in our session at ease. I have told her that doing this seasonal photoshoot is one in my bucket list for my family and I was totally in awe of how our photographs turned out. I gained a friend in her and I felt very lucky that she was able to capture those precious moments for me and my family that we will forever treasure. Cristina, you are truly gifted and you have a great eye for photography which makes you an amazing person. Thank you! ❤️

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
After our meeting, either in person or phone call, I will provide you with a proposal that will provide all the details for your session, including any discounts or fees.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The process depends on the type of photography you need, but everything starts with a conversation; in person preferably! We will meet at one of the lovely cafes here in Northern Virginia and chat about your needs. This ensures we are the right fit and sets the tone for the rest of the process. If we both agree to move forward, you will receive a contract to sign and the proposal, which will include the required retainer fee to save your date. Once you have paid the retainer fee, the fun begins. We begin planning your photography session!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have many hours of training from various photography courses and am a member of the Professional Photographers of America and the Virginia Professional Photographers of America organizations. I will continue my photography/business education indefinitely!
