Molly Aitken, Author

“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.”

Erica Hesketh, Poet, Editor and Events Programmer

“Christy was so thoughtful and professional to work with. I felt I was in very safe hands from our very first consultation call. The shoot itself was relaxed and fun. And most importantly I'm really pleased with the photos!”

‘Black Women @ Rest’

“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!”
