The whole shooting process is very laid back. You only shoot what you're comfortable in; Christopher will never push you or try forcing you to do anything you're not comfortable or wanting to shoot. He has phenomenal communication skills which translates into getting the best photos possible. He works with models of all sizes and knows how to get the best shots by knowing what poses flatter your body type without causing insecurities or magnifying any insecurities or concerns you have before your shoot. If hair or wardrobe needs adjusted he will either tell you what needs moved or will ask permission to adjust it; he's extremely respectful of your personal space. He is all about your safety and comfort levels and works with you to maintain those boundaries. The editing and getting final pictures have a quick turn around time without sacrificing quality. I have shot with hime numerous times and will continue to shoot with him in the future any chance I get. 10/10 ⭐s
