I knew from the moment I saw her work that Christina was going to be the right choice, and she did not disappoint. Tons of positives: - she was easy to communicate and plan with, even when I wanted to switch one of my locations the week of the shoot - she made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small task - she was flexible with my ideas, but also brought her own to the table - photos were back even sooner than I'd expected, and were of the quality I'd seen on her website But I think what I liked best was Christina herself. She was extremely pleasant to work with, and treated my casual event with the same professionalism and respect that she would a wedding. She had very positive presence and brought a really good energy and enthusiasm to the shoot. She was a lot of fun and brought out the best in my partner and me. I'm so glad I selected Christina and Nightingale Photography, and she would absolutely be my first choice if I were to need a photographer again. Thank you!

From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease.

Her studio was warm, calm, and perfectly set up for newborns, with thoughtful props and beautiful backdrops. She has a true eye for detail and captured the sweetest little expressions and moments that we'll treasure forever. What impressed me most was how professional yet personable she was--taking the time to work around our baby's needs while still creating stunning, high-quality photos. The final images are absolutely breathtaking, and I know we'll cherish them for a lifetime. If you're looking for someone talented, caring, and professional to capture your newborn's earliest days, I highly recommend Heather!

She worked very closely with us in selecting a flattering color palette and introducing textures that would suit the baby. Her style is very gentle and easygoing; she spends the time to really get to know a family and pays attention to all the details that go into a shoot. When the photos came out, we were truly blown away--they were all so tender and stunning, showcasing not just the miracle of birth, but all the familial love and tenderness. I cannot stop looking at them! We were so delighted that we opted for an album keepsake. I was impressed with how much care and time Heather took making every page perfect, and how she collaborated so well with us. My son is an amateur artist, and she welcomed and integrated all his inputs and built on top of them to create something we will treasure for many years. I wholeheartedly recommend Heather to any family--she is a true artist, and we will definitely be returning to capture more precious moments!

I was lucky to…read morefind Sandy 4 years ago with my first born and the newborn photos ended up being incredible! It was an easy decision to go back to her with our second baby. Here are some of the ways that Sandy truly stood out: - Both our babies were born around Christmas holiday and scheduling was not an issue at all for Sandy. She checked in ahead of the appointment to ensure we didn't need to reschedule (much needed for parents that just gave birth recently) and had our themes ready prior to us arriving. - The themes were 10/10, better than what we could've envisioned ourselves. And our themes were generic such as lemon or Christmas. - The amount of patience Sandy has is seriously amazing! Our second baby was a bit harder to photograph compared to the first, in addition to a toddler who wasn't in the mood for pictures, and it didn't phase Sandy at all. She took her time to make sure she was able to capture each theme well and had tips up her sleeve to get the toddler to take some pictures. I highly recommend going with Sandy if you're considering photo sessions! She goes above and beyond to ensure all the special moments are captured and the pictures are so incredibly worth it.

You won't be disappointed with Clairbare Studios and Sandy's gift for capturing beautiful, lasting memories of your little ones.
