I recently had the pleasure to work with Kris after my dog won a calendar contest here in North…read moreIdaho. My family typically does fall photos, but this was the first time we ever shot with a professional pet photographer- let me tell you the experience was amazing! Kris really takes the time to get to know you & your pets, so she can capture meaningful images (she did such a phenomenal job, it was SO hard to narrow down which images we wanted to display). It's truly an experience: from the meeting to plan the shoot, taking the actual photos & then reviewing and choosing which to display. She's so patient, so kind and a hell of a photographer. If you are looking for a professional to capture those special moments with your fur babies, look no further! She's your gal!

We won 50% off a photo session at the Denver Pet expo and contacted Kris to set up a session. It…read morewas really easy to get that set up as she asked what was the best time for us and location. With cats and a dog, staying in our backyard made the most sense. She came over and had lots of patience with our crazy crowd (4 cats/1dog.) She was great in allowing the cats to just roam around and she got some great shots. Thinking about how a couple of the cats just hated this idea the shots she got were awesome, they look so majestic! Our dog, well he was so excited for a new friend and she was very nice to his puppy ways. The review process was great and easy to pick the photos we liked the best. She prints out 5x7 ones so you can filter through them by hand instead of on a computer. They were all good but had to narrow it down. Our Christmas card this year will be awesome! It was my first time ever doing anything like this and it was pretty easy and would definitely do it again!

She donated a gift certificate for a photo session to a silent auction for a nonprofit that I am…read moreinvolved with. The person who purchased the photo session ended up not being able to use it, so offered to donate it back to the organization so that an employee could make use of it. I was the first person to respond by email to our development director, so I got the session. I was super excited because I thought that I could just use the session to update my headshots. Nothing fancy, no wardrobe changes. Just my face, looking normal. Well, I called her and she was super rude and seemed extremely annoyed that a. The gift certificate was given to me and b. That I wanted to do head shots and not art prints. She said that the gift certificate isn't for her Delafoto brand but for her Ariane Cecile brand. She told me without mincing words that she donated the gift certificate with the expectation that the auction winner would spend $3000 on art prints. (Yes, $3000.) This was not communicated in any sort of fine print or anything, mind you. So, our patron thought they were doing a nice thing by donating this back. Ultimately, it went to waste. Nonprofits: know that she is not donating to your silent auction out of the goodness of her heart, but to make money off of your patrons.

Do not go here. Our experience was awful. The session was fine but she insisted that I spend an…read morehour with her to look at the photos, I told her that as a busy, working mother, I could only spend a half hour with her to review the photos. She refused to see me unless I committed to an hour. Which is odd as I would think she would appreciate the efficiency and I was going to purchase the photos. She would not email the photos either which is stupid as like I said, I had planned to purchase them. To make a long story short, I never saw our photos because she was such a difficult person to work with. And what kind of business person makes buying something so difficult?

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.

Christina recently took mine and my fiancé's engagement photos. We were nervous for the shoot…read morebecause we have never had professional photos done and tend to be awkward in front of the camera. Christina made all of those worries disappear!! 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!
