Christina Mae Photography

After scrolling through photos on my phone, I realized that I never properly thanked an awesome photographer, so I mean to correct my mistake. My sincerest apologies to Tina! You deserve every bit of love, appreciation and credit for capturing my niece's beauty. My family swooned over the photos, and my sister especially appreciated how great you were to them both back in May.
Before my sister gave birth back in May, she brought up the idea of having newborn photos done for her firstborn. Of course I scouted Yelp's pages thanks to other trustworthy Yelpers, Christina Mae was a top result. It also helped that she had an Instagram page, which solidified her as a top contender to reach out to. It honestly came down to communication - Tina was the most personable to correspond with, which is hard through email (I was arranging this gift from Vegas). The ease of payment was also very much appreciated (via PayPal) with the option to add more later, and her website's info on a variety of packages and prices was transparent.
The same week my niece was born, my sister was able to contact Tina and schedule the newborn photo sessions within several days. Awesome flexibility. I distinctly remember my sister telling me how calming the setting was when she went for the photos, and she was definitely appreciative of that atmosphere considering how hectic things were for her beforehand.
Within 1-2 weeks, my sister gets an electronic photo album to select her favorites from to purchase prints or downloads. We obviously loved all the photos she took! The quality of the photos were amazing! She captured my niece's sassy princess attitude that's been developing since then XD
LOL. I should also note that our parents made my sister purchase additional photos outside of the initial gifted package amount. It's the excitement of my niece and the testament to the quality of Tina's work.

Update:
Tina the owner and photographer reached out to me about my review. She didn't realized my disappointment and she wanted to know what it would take to make things better. We spent a few days going back and forth discussing what went wrong with my color selections. In the end she edited the 2 white background photos to the grey color I preferred and she edited grey from all the others as well. Unfortunately it's been well over 2 years so the extra pics I wanted to go through have been long deleted but she offered to refund me for the extra prints I had paid for which I think is very fair.

Christina is amazing she did our maternity shoot which we did in Snoqualmie pass and our photos were stunning she goes above and beyond . I can't say me and my husband are great in front of the camera but she made us feel very comfortable she is a perfectionist and it means a lot these photos will be around forever and it's nice knowing the person who took them has pride in their work to to take the time to pay attention to detail. The photos made me feel beautiful and feminine while in realty I felt like a big house

When it came time for the newborn shoot I was very anxious our first week home with baby had been blissful but stressful and I didn't know how things would go with a newborn and trying to get him to do what she needs to get the beautiful photos you see her post and now I know how she gets them , she is kind, gentle, patient and calm . Just walking into the studio you are put to ease it's so cute and calming in there . Then when it came time to shoot again she is so prepared for whatever baby might throw at you that day she takes her time and just knows exactly what she is doing. I wish I could better articulate just how thankful I am for finding her to do these photos sessions she is amazing

Truly an amazing experience! We showed up and Tina realized we weren't bringing in a baby only a couple weeks old, rather our baby was already 6 weeks old. This was a new experience for Tina and she did a fantastic job.

Overall the session was fantastic and I have no doubt the photos will be amazing. Tina worked well with our little one and was beyond personable with myself and my spouse.

The biggest positive was that we were able to get amazing photos, by a talented and kind photographer, while we were also keeping our money in the local economy with an up and coming business star!

We recently moved to the area and were expecting our first child. Going off strictly online reviews we found Tina!

Much to my surprise she had an opening and was able to get us in. Our little boy Jac Ryan was in such good hands with her. From the second we walked in her studio she was professional and honestly she was BEYOND amazing with our baby. My husband to this day calls her the baby whisperer. Don't think twice about booking a newborn session with Tina, you won't regret it!

We had a great experience with Christina Mae Photogrpahy! I like to get family portraits done about twice a year and decided to use Tina last time. She did a fantastic job!

Tina is an amazing photographer. I can't get over the how she captured the true essence of our child. Our child was very cranky that day but you'd never know by the pictures. She didn't hesitate to do what she needed to do to get the best shots.
