This was an absolutely terrible experience for our family. Christina didn't listen to what I wanted…read moreat all, and when I told her I was uncomfortable in a certain pose (Sitting on a jagged rock on a steep hill, in a dress and heels, while holding my newborn), she threatened to quit and wouldn't continue shooting until I did the pose she wanted. She was terrible at giving directions (just turn, turn the other way, no the other way, move your hand, etc - entirely unclear) and would get mad at us when we didn't guess correctly what she meant. When we didn't pose the way she wanted, she would make sarcastic and snippy comments that made us all SO uncomfortable and made the whole shoot so awkward. And then she'd bark at you to smile! We did not get one single photo that we will ever use. I am so very sad and mad, not only that we wasted $500 but that we can't go back and get photos that we can actually use of my baby at this age again. We can never get that back. I would highly encourage you to think twice before hiring Christina if you have a baby - she absolutely does NOT know how to shoot babies. Or family groups. If you have any thoughts or opinions of your own whatsoever about what you want, she will not listen to you. When I told her what shots I wanted (which we had discussed over the phone and in email prior to the shoot) she yelled at me that she's the professional and basically I needed to shut up and do it her way because I don't know anything. I left the shoot in tears. It was truly awful. And surprise surprise, I've never seen less flattering photos of myself or my family in my entire life. There is literally not one single photo where you can see everyone's face and everyone has their eyes open! I truly believe she started taking bad photos intentionally after I didn't want to do one of her poses because even a non-professional photographer could capture at least one or two that were ok. Think twice before hiring her.

She met with us prior to our shoot to get an understanding of our vision,help advise us on what to wear, and decide on a location. Everything she suggested was absolutely perfect!! The photos came out 100x better than we ever could have hoped for and she returned them to us remarkably fast! It was a pleasure to work with such a friendly & talented photographer and I would recommend her to anyone!

40/40 photo shoot! Working with Sandy and her team was an unforgettable experience. From the moment…read moreI stepped in front of the camera, she created a space that felt safe, encouraging, and empowering. I've never felt so comfortable being photographed-- Sandy has a true gift for helping you relax, be yourself, and still bring out your most confident, radiant side. The direction was thoughtful, natural, fun and intuitive--never forced. I left the shoot feeling not just seen but celebrated. The final images captured not only how I look, but how I felt--strong, grounded, and beautiful. If you're looking for a photographer who knows how to bring out your best, both technically and emotionally, look no further. Sandy is an artist, a professional, and someone who truly cares about the people being photographed. I can't recommend her and her team enough.

Working with Abby was an absolute pleasure!!…read more I was searching for a photographer while on a roadtrip this summer and was having a hard time finding the right one. My husband and I eloped and wanted to do a simple wedding photo shoot. I was lucky enough to find Abby on yelp and after checking out her website I knew she could take incredible outdoor photos, which was perfect for our shoot at Garden of the Gods. She answered my emails right away and I could tell she was enthusiastic about being our photographer. She made the entire process simple and enjoyable. She was quick to respond, offered extremely fair pricing, and was open to ideas and requests. We loved Abby as soon as we met her, she has great energy and was fun to hang out with. She had creative ideas for backgrounds and poses and the photos turned out better than I ever imagined. She was really fast at getting our pictures back to us too. The day of she had a handful of quick edits that she sent via text and in less than a week I had my full gallery, which I can easily access from her website. I would recommend Abby to anyone looking for a photographer for their special occasion. She's amazing!!!

Abby is a nice person and a real gem of a photographer!…read more This was my first time choosing a photographer, and I feel very lucky to have found her. I wanted to do a family photo session (including our dog Luna) in Garden of the Gods, and it not only was a special and pleasant experience, the photos look amazing! She captured the grand but natural aesthetic that I wanted - I love the photos. She guided me throughout the entire process: provided me with samples in the location; picked out a uniquely perfect spot for the session; prompted us to take natural poses/smiles (we were all really enjoying the session so this was easy); and she was very accommodating to my requests, as I needed to have professional headshots done as well and ready by a certain deadline. I would highly recommend Abby!

She responded quickly and always answered all my questions. Very easy to get in touch with! She asked me all about the sort of "feel" we wanted for our photos. And her prices are extremely reasonable. When it came time for the shoot I was nervous because I'm just not photogenic at all. She made me feel at ease, directed me for the best shots and had patience!! She delivered us a preview the next day and the final shots in 2 days! And I couldn't believe how great they came out....breathtaking. We are so happy and can't wait for the newborn shots and family pictures in the future. Oh, and all these gorgeous dresses, Shannon has a closet FULL of them for us mommas to wear for the shoot!

We will be forever grateful for her capturing such a special time in our family!

She is able to capture all the moments (and all the emotions) so efficiently and with gentleness as well as style. It is so clear that she knows exactly what she is doing during a wedding shoot! The pictures turned out so beautifully in a variety of light. Mid afternoon with sun, dark lodge, sunset, etc. She was the perfect person to be there with the bride and groom on their day! Professional, reliable, creative, skilled. By far one of the best choices we made for entrusting to document the day. Gorgeous photos that we are so thrilled with! We don't know how she caught some of the candids, and some are practically iconic! She will definitely be who we contact for future events and family moments we want to document.

I always say I want to get remarried again just so she can do my photos!!
