My first monthly spotlight is on a really talented lady named Christine.

When I first started my blog, I used my personal selfies and never thought of hiring a professional photographer. When I came across her instagram profile, I knew two things; her pictures were fun and that I lacked the courage to pose for pictures.

Yes, I’m that girl that can post 100 selfies on social media but it was a struggle to put my professional headshot on my business card! After hyping myself up and browsing a couple of local photographers, I knew I loved her style and I had to contact her.

Before our first shoot, I was SO NERVOUS. I had never done this before and all her subjects always look so relaxed and professional. Once I met her, I realized I had nothing to be nervous about, she made me feel comfortable and walked me through the whole process. She even bought me ice cream, how can you be nervous eating ice cream?

If you’re in the San Francisco Bay area, I highly recommend her! You can check her out on her social media handles:
