Wow! Where do I even start?!
I was first introduced to Christi by a mutual friend, who had mentioned that she was partaking in a super cool vintage car/pin-up photoshoot during the Mississippi Mayhem car show in September 2018. At the time, the only professional photos I had taken were my high school senior photos 9 years prior. I thought to myself, “so what if you burn a PTO day and spend too much money, think of the fun you’ll have!” Luckily, I was right. It was so incredibly fun! I immediately felt comfortable with Christi behind the lens, getting so many great shots, several of which she managed to capture my sass and attitude.
Fast forward a year to the fall of 2019. My best friend had asked me to be her Maid of Honor and I was three months into a weight loss journey. I decided that I would treat myself to a boudoir shoot to capture the efforts of taking back my health (what would eventually be a loss of 67 pounds in 13 months!). I immediately chose Christi, and we scheduled the shoot half a year in advance. October of 2020, in the middle of the wildest year I’ve seen in my lifetime, we spent the afternoon together, capturing more incredible photos that truly made me feel the most beautiful, sexiest, and most confident I ever have in my life. There were masks and face shields all around, and several distancing measures involved, but I couldn’t tell if it had even impeded Christi and Lela’s processes, things moved so smoothly.
We had so much fun during the boudoir session, we nearly immediately planned the next shoot. We kicked off the new year right with my third shoot… mermaids! I was able to convince a friend to join me for the adventure and we had the most fun-filled day. At the time of writing this, it’s been a week and we are still gushing over the teaser photos and videos that she’s posted!
Christi manages the capture the best expressions from her clients, guaranteeing every one of us looks and feels our best. Lela always makes sure that a person’s outer beauty flawlessly matches their personality. These two women are some of the most inspiring, empowering, and downright awesome women I’ve been lucky to know. I highly anticipate my fourth shoot later this year, where we will celebrate the final year of my twenties and doll me up as a flapper girl!
