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.

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!

It is now very unlikely that I'll see these photos before Christmas. I have really mixed feelings about Fairytale Experiences. While the pictures are CUTE and my kids had a great time with Santa, their pricing is literally astronomical. Be warned that you will not even see any digital options unless you spend upwards of $300 on their portraits. Their packages, I kid you not, go all the way up to $5000. I love my children, but I would never even consider that type of money on seasonal photos. The experience was sweet, but they need to be WAY more upfront with their pricing and ordering options at the time of booking. All of the people are very friendly and they are not pushy, I just believe their pricing is unreasonable.

The WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE…read more The Santa experience was great but the fact that you can only buy prints by going back in for a viewing session is ridiculous. - What if I want to take my time looking at photos and deciding what to buy? - I am a single mom. I don't have time to drive 40 mins both ways to buy photos AND find someone to watch my son so he's not confused why Santa is no longer there. - My son's father lives out of state and wants to buy photos too but can't look at them or the prices or buy anything Why would a company make it SO hard to give them money?!?!? Why are they so unfeeling to people who want to take a little time to see the pictures and think or don't have the ability to come back in? I have written multiple times stating that I have money to spend and want to buy photos but just can't do it in person. They don't care AT ALL. Just an icky scam to try and force you to spend more money. TERRIBLE experience and terrible customer service. Shame on you.

She provided great tips on clothing and hair - encouraging me to feel as comfortable and natural as possible. During the shoot she was able to capture shots and angles that I would not have expected and the photos turned out beautifully. I was a little nervous as I'm not used to being the subject of a professional photographer but Katie really did set me at ease while giving me great tips for bringing out my personality! She experimented with a variety of lenses and points of view which I really appreciated. I couldn't be happier with the photos!

Fashion, make-up and any personalized girly attention are about the last things that I would associate with a fun day, so I signed on with a great deal of trepidation, but my day long shoot with Katie was actually FUN! I was a frazzled mess when I arrived but Katie quickly set to work putting me at ease. She helped me make make-up and clothing decisions and made the whole process really easy. She took the time to demonstrate poses and faces, which made the process less intimidating and was much more helpful than just telling me what to do. Jessica was meticulous with my hair and make-up, kept me laughing and happily laid on the floor to make sure the fan was blowing my hair at exactly the right angle. These girls are like beauty treasure hunters - they are set on discovering your beauty and they are really genuinely pleased when they find and capture it. Nothing felt rushed and they worked very hard to make sure I was comfortable and happy. And the pictures themselves? I was nervous that I'd end up looking overdone or lovely but not like myself. It turned out that the photos were stunning - they look gorgeous AND they actually look like ME! They somehow captured Sexy-but-not-sleazy, Strong-but-vulnerable and Artsy-but-down-to-earth beautifully! This was a really meaningful, positive experience that I'll always remember...plus I'll always have these beautiful photos to look back on (and to share with my children and grandchildren). I can't recommend this experience with this team enough! Do it. They will show you just how beautiful you really are!
