“We love having Christina take our baby and family pictures! She has been taking our pictures since before Ben was born (maternity photos) and I am always getting compliments on her pictures. I especially like some of the sweet/serious looks she captures in addition to the gorgeous smiles!” – Sara Staloch
“Christina…we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our pictures!!!! They turned out beautifully and we cannot wait until you can shoot our entire family!!!” – Amy Treptau

Christina – you are a true artist!!” – Becky Olson
“The kids adore Christina. She has helped us capture moments outside and has made it fun for the boys.The kids are having a ball and are very relaxed. She has captured some fabulous photos. We will not go back to a studio.” – The Grantz Family
“Christina, I love your work, you are a fabulous photographer. I have gotten more compliments on the pictures you took of my kids than on any other pictures we’ve ever had taken! That includes compliments from people I don’t even know….my sister called me from work the other day asking for your website because a coworker of hers saw the pictures of Teddy & Ruthie on her desk and loved them. Both of my sister-in-laws wish they lived closer so that you could take pictures of their kids (we’re still talking about trying to do a giant family session with you if we are all together at the same time, but just haven’t figured out when that will be). Most of all, I appreciate how unique all of your pictures are. I never feel like I see the same pose over and over again in your pictures; you focus on capturing the child’s personality as opposed to a prop or a ”say cheese” smile. You are great at what you do! I recommend you to anyone I know who is looking to have their children’s portraits taken! ” - Sincerely, Shelly Bellrichard
“It is amazing what Christina is able to capture. Her pictures tell a story. I have three very busy, active boys. The first time I brought them in, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Christina was calm, patient, and made the session fun for my boys. Although they were climbing on chairs, jumping around the studio, Christina never missed a beat. The pictures reflect their personalities and are a joy to look at. Christina also photographed my 10 day old baby. It was a wonderful experience. She was so calm, and the studio was so serene. I was able to nurse my son when needed, and even when he was a little bit fussy, Christina sat and waited patiently for him to calm down, never rushing us. Needless to say, the pictures are beautiful, and I receive compliments on them all the time. I am looking forward to our upcoming photo shoot in November!” – Molly Strand
“Christina is an amazing photographer! Being a wonderful mother herself, she has a heart for children and it shows in her photography. She possesses the ability to able to capture raw emotion in her photographs and the pure innocence of a child. She works with you to ensure you will get exactly what you are looking for. We have been thrilled with our experiences with Christina, and our photographs have beyond exceeded our expectations. She’s stuck with us, because we wouldn’t go anywhere else! ” – Heather & Mark Robison
“We had such a great experience with chrissie marie photography in April 2009. My husband, Nolan and I met with Christina at her studio in Hopkins. The studio was spacious and she had it nice and warm for Nolan. She was so patient and gentle with him. The shots she captured are priceless. I was so excited to get my photos and CD back that I had to email her website to family/friends immediately so they could see the great pictures. No detail was left untouched and the expressions she got were awesome. Christina’s eye for photography is 5 stars. We look forwarding to having her take more pictures of Nolan in December. “ – Jill Zimmerman Roddy
“Christina has been taking my children’s photos for almost 3 years. Each time we have a session with Christina, my two children are crazy wild, uncooperative and chaotic. Somehow she captures great photos and I am totally impressed. Christina has a real talent! She has the ability to capture a child’s personality, innocense, and sweetness in the middle of all the chaos. She is great! We have been so happy with her.” – Sheila R.
“I just love the variety of settings that are available, and the fun and relaxed environment that Christina provides. I know that I’ll always have plenty of great pictures to choose from.” – Paula Reed
“It’s amazing what Christina is able to capture; just when you think you are leaving the session with nothing; you get sent some amazing photos only days later” – Anissa Driscoll
“We love coming to see Christina and in return we get these beautiful pictures which we cherish. I also love her new idea of capturing the parents alone along with just having my picture taken by myself, so often I am the one behind the camera!” – Nicole Hiller
