TESTIMONIALS

Connie has an edge on other photographers. Behind her professional, friendly, and sweet natured demeanor lies a strong business minded woman and a creative entrepreneur with experience in photography. Her ability to direct others to achieve the desired angles and perspective in photographs strongly reflects her experience at the other end of the camera. If you ask her nicely, you might be lucky enough to see some images from her professional modeling portfolio! As if that did not make her stand out above the herd enough, she is highly detail oriented with over 10 years experience in make-up and styling. In my most recent shoot with her I was blown away with her ability to brainstorm a storyline with the appropriate styling at the drop of a hat. Connie delivers photos of the highest edited quality in a very short time frame. I have nothing but great things to say about Connie and her work. She is a delight to work with, bubbling with creative ideas and enthusiasm. If you are looking for someone to not only shoot photos for you but to transform the feel and delivery of your images, Connie is your best choice by far. I would most definitely work with her again, and wish her only the very best clients. 


Enthusiastically,

Connie is amazing to work with! I've shot with her twice and both times I've come away with pictures that are above my expectations. She has a vision in her mind and knows how to get the image from her mind to the camera. She is super sweet, funny, and just all around easy and fun to work with. As a newer model, I found the way she gives direction to be super helpful. Not only was it great for the shoot, but I learned pointers from her that I use my current shoots! She knows how to push you to get you out of your shell a bit to get a good shot, but is very respectful and won't ever ask you to do anything that makes you uncomfortable, and I was really impressed with her. She can do anything from simple portfolio updates, to super high fashion, to super creative concepts. Whatever your needs, Connie is more than capable of getting the shots you want and going above and beyond expectations. I highly recommend her.

Connie is inspiring to work with. She has beautiful visions for her photographs, and really knows how to bring those visions to life. She gives helpful and courteous direction when needed, but also allows models to feel good about being natural in front of the camera. I had a lot of fun shooting with her, as she's super upbeat and easy to communicate with. She strives and succeeds to produce beautiful images while also allowing the shoot to be an enjoyable experience. In addition to her photo work I was impressed by her skills in makeup and styling. The shoot we did together looked like a whole team must have worked on it, when really it was all her! From start to finish the shoot felt at-ease and productive. Connie also had photos back to be more quickly than any other photographer I've shot with. I am highly impressed by her expertise and creative vision, I'd love to shoot with her again in the future!

Connie was amazing to work with. Right off the bat, she knew what she wanted out of our shoot, and it made everything go smoothly. Since she knew exactly how she wanted the photos to turn out, she took her time to do my makeup to make sure it was perfect even without any editing. Her knowledge of makeup was great and the colors she chose for me were perfect. Connie has some awesome tricks up her sleeve to get fun poses and facial expressions out of me that I didn't know I was capable of. I felt very comfortable in front of her camera, and the pictures turned out phenomenally! If you get the chance, don't miss out on shooting with her!

I had the opportunity to shoot with Connie in Portland this past weekend. She was really such a joy to work with! From hair to the camera, it was obvious that she loved her work and has a huge passion for photography. She knows how to enhance your best features and gives helpful direction during the shoot. Whether you're trying to build a quality model portfolio or just need some professionally edited head shots, Connie is your photographer. She is great!

"Where do I begin to describe the transformation I experienced with Connie? She heard me before she met me, and once we started shooting, I knew she would be the best fit to rebrand, guide and capture the woman I wanted to comfortably express to the world. Connie was my NYC chic in PNW! She has taken my vision and elevated it beyond expectations. I’m forever grateful for her sincere conversations, professionalism and how she gets to know you so that she understands your essence. I recommend her for all types of photography, rebranding, consulting, modeling and social media needs. Connie has such an ability to bring out your inner femme with grace and class. She captured candids with my kids that I adore and I will be using her for family portraits as well. Connie has such an artistic eye, that I cried when she revealed my photos. I couldn’t believe how beautiful it all came out while only using natural light in a coffee shop with patrons and my kids in the background. I was completely blown away at her talent and what she did with me. I look forward to creating many more beautiful pieces and starting new projects together! If you need me to spell it out, I highly recommend her!!! A million thanks Connie!"

“I had such a great time with Connie! She came to the shoot and was so sweet and professional. She was organized with props and ideas before we even started. She went above and beyond to understand what I needed for my brand shoot. And she nailed it. The results were even more than I could have imagined. So so beautiful!”

"Wow…. Just wow… Where do I begin? I was introduced to Connie through a friend. I have worked with countless photographers through the years and she was by far the best I’ve ever worked with. Before I met her in person she so gracefully got to know me. I could tell my comfortability was her biggest priority. She also made me feel like a celebrity before the shoot even began. She came up with multiple concepts that were so on brand for me at the same time highlighting her best skills. I want to think we are some sort of dream team made in heaven but something tells me this is how she treats every client. It’s just who she is. Connie did not stop being a hype woman the entire shoot but that is not why she is the best photographer I worked with; all of that was just a bonus. Connie directed me unlike any photographer I ever worked with, she knew exactly what to say to me to not only make me feel confident but also to highlight all of my best attributes. She wasn’t afraid to tell me to try something different and ALWAYS knew exactly what tweaks to make to capture the best moment. I cannot tell you how rare it is to find a photographer that will guide you without making you feel stupid (for lack of a better term) my confidence is sky high after this shoot and I am so excited for future shoots! Whoever is reading this… book now.. seriously you will not be disappointed."

“Connie is not only a great photographer she does everything well. She does hair, makeup, styling, and directs her models. I wasn't sure what to expect. I have never shot with a photographer that did everything herself and so well. I was very impressed. She brings out a side of her models that not many photographers know how to do. The end result is always amazing. If you want to update your portfolio, need headshots or just want some lovely photos of yourself Connie is your photographer. I am looking forward to my next shoot with her."

"I can't say enough about the incredible experience we had with Connie. From start to finish, she was patient, kind, and compassionate, making the entire process feel effortless.

It was so easy to work with her, and the results are simply breathtaking. Her photos truly capture the heart and emotion of every moment. You can tell she’s not only a true professional but also someone who genuinely loves what she does. Her passion shines through in every shot.

If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional, heartfelt work, look no further. Highly recommend! 💕"

“Connie is a perfect combination of a skilled photographer and master stylist. She took my daughter’s senior photos on what turned out to be a gray, drizzly PNW day and you would have never known. She utilized all the light and surroundings and took photos that both my daughter and I absolutely loved. I and my daughter had a specific vision for the photos, and Connie captured her perfectly."

"Connie was amazing! I appreciated that she was very communicative and in contact leading up to, and after the photos were taken. She was able to capture exactly what we wanted for our maternity photos and provided a variety of poses to choose from :). I was also impressed with the turn around. She contacted us almost immediately with high quality prints! I will definitely use her again, and will be recommending her to friends and family."
