"Our experience with Christine was simply amazing. Christine took my engagement photos and made it so fun and such an incredible experience. From the silly poses and sayings to get the most genuine laughs to the incredibly romantic scenery, she thought of everything. I was very impressed by how fast we received our pictures after the shoot. We have chosen to have Christine photograph our wedding and couldn’t be more excited."

Where to begin- Christine captured the most beautiful pregnancy and family photos for me. My husband and I are so uncomfortable posing and being photographed, yet Christine made it easy and fun. My uncooperative, crying two year old LOVED Christine and played with her the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and extremely organized, making the entire process effortless. She even helped me decide what outfits would look best. The pictures came out better than I could have imagined! They are my absolute favorites and framed all over my house. I will literally never use another photographer because I know it will be a disappointment compared to Christine Bradshaw Photography.
