“It was a breeze working with Christy. She has a talent for making awkward authors look relaxed, and even aesthetic. I am awed by the quality and artistry of the photographs Christy managed to get out of me. She is truly a magician. I recommend her to all writers.”
“Christy is not only a great photographer, but just as importantly, she really understands how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. She helped create a really relaxed and fun environment for me and my mum when she took our photographs both separately and together. We love the end results as they really convey who we are as people and that's testament to Christy's process.”
“Christy made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, even though I was both nervous about the photoshoot and being out and about for the first time since COVID-19.
She was very conscious of choosing a location that was safe but also beautiful, and really eased me into the shoot.
I don't always like photos of me but I genuinely really love the photos that Christy took! They feel natural and like me, but also have a special feeling to them and I always get excited when I get to use them for events.”
“Christy was professional and wonderful to work with.
Punctual, responsive and detail orientated - the shoot we did together was a big success! She made each model feel comfortable and adapted her approach to each person.
Her experience shooting darker skin tones was another plus so I didn't have to worry about that I knew it was taken care of. Her suggestions were spot on and she cared about my creative vision, doing a great job to get it across. She is my go-to now, can't wait to work with her again!”

“It was wonderful to have worked with Christy. She is professional, confident-boosting and very easy to communicate with. As an East Asian artist, it was important for me to find someone who can understand my intention and aesthetics. Particularly, I felt comfortable showing my vulnerability and as a result of that, we got to have some fun and lots of amazing shots came out of it.”
