Taking family pictures can be a fun, memorable experience that captures the heart and spirit of…read moreyour family. It can also be stressful to get your family to cooperate and get great pictures if you don't have the right professional orchestrating your photo shoot. I've used Christina Straw Photography multiple times for many reasons and couldn't be happier. I am particularly impressed with Christina's great style, technical skill, professionalism, ability to control the photo shoot, and the quality of her finished product. I love Christina's style. She gets great formal and candid shots that capture the love and personality of my family. She does a nice job in both color and black and white. Christina's technical skills with regards to color, sharpness, clarity and lighting are impressive. Many of the photos she took for me are great. My kids' skin and hair were brilliant from the golden lighting she captured. Christina is very professional and gets wonderful photos that last a lifetime. The first photo she took for me was for my daughter's birth announcement a few years ago. That picture is timeless - a beautiful black and white of my then two year old son holding his new born sister. Christina said to me, "isn't it wonderful when the stars align for that perfect photograph." I have never forgotten what she said and I am grateful to her for capturing that perfect photo (that brings up such happy memories for me) when those stars aligned. Christina knows how to put my family at ease and gets the great shots I'm looking for. As a mother of a young child she knows how to engage my children. She keeps them focused but relaxed and gets their natural smiles and personalities to shine through. She captures fantastic individual and family photographs, and she gets them before the kids lose interest. As a parent of young children that is invaluable. She is easy to work with and helps bring my creative ideas to light as well. Each photo shoot she has done for me has been unique and personal. One year I worked with Christina for my family photo shoot I wanted to take pictures in the new city in which we had recently moved. I wasn't familiar with the park but learned it was quite busy on the weekend. Even though there were many background distractions at the park Christina was still able to get some great shots. They turned out much better than I expected. I like that she helps you pick out your venue and coordinating family outfits if you need help. The next year I worked with Christina we worked together and chose a great venue. The pictures were amazing! There were so many wonderful shots with beautiful backgrounds and perfect lighting. I had a difficult time choosing only a few for our holiday card. Last year the quality of the photos she did for me were excellent. They were even better than the year before. I was so pleased with them I submitted them into a contest (with permission of course). Christina got so many wonderful compliments on her shots. Family and friends thought they were for a professional advertisement campaign from a magazine. The pictures Christina has taken of my family over the years are priceless. We easily spend money on clothes, shoes, and handbags and tend to cut corners on artistic outlets. But a great family photo shoot is totally worth it. The photos for your family memories, scrapbooks, albums and family tree are worth it. Having Christina take good quality photographs of your family is an investment you will not regret. The only difficulty is getting an appointment because she books up fast especially during the holidays. I highly recommend you call and get on her calendar as soon as you can.

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.

I consulted her and hired Jennifer to do newborn session of my daughter. I contacted Jenny after deliver and schedule the photo session date after 5 days. During consultation we went over the color pallet and any specific props I was looking for in the session. I was very nervous and skeptical on how it would turn out. But to my surprise, the 2 - 3 hour long session went smooth. Jenny was super gentle with the baby and definitely knew what she was doing. She breezed through the session like a pro. All the props she included were beautiful and photos turned out amazing as well. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for newborn photo session.

When searching for a wedding photographer, we were very picky (largely due to my interest in photography and budget). We looked through many photographers all throughout Colorado. We came upon Trevor and instantly were hooked. One reason we chose Trevor was due to his shooting style. We appreciated his compositions, posing, and how his editing did not drastically change the photograph. There are many photographers that over edit their photos and create overly bright or dark images. We loved the style of Trevor and how he was able to capture the moment and edit his photos in a way that draws the beauty out without overdoing it. We met with him in Colorado and had an instant connection. We had previously scouted a few locations to do our first look and wedding party photos. However, after showing him our ideas, he promptly found a nearby foothill to climb and picked out an amazing overlook of the Rocky Mountains and the city of Estes. He found the perfect spot in mere minutes and blew us both away. Trevor is so passionate about what he does. It is shown in his work and displayed in his photos. He was also kind enough to do a second shoot with us in Rocky Mountain National Park that was absolutely amazing. It was an incredible day and Trevor continued to blow us away with his artistic abilities. He was also an invaluable resource for our wedding day. Leading up to the big day, he helped us create a bulletproof timeline to ensure that we shot all of the photos that were important to us. As well as, having a few alternate ideas and locations lined up for any extra time for inclement weather. After receiving our final edits, we both agreed that Trevor overdelivered and uncharged. He is so worth every penny and you should absolutely book him for your wedding day or any photo shoots you need done.

Not only does he exceed expectations with the photos, but he and his team take an extra step to be personable, compassionate, and caring.

That extra attention to detail, and desire to please the couple, is exactly why we are so grateful for Act One Photos! We received so many photos back and in different colored edits. We are beyond impressed. 10/10 recommend Act One Photos! Thank you Trevor and the Act One Team!
