“I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Carsten. I reached out to her for my personal brand photos in the hopes to get photography and videography that showcased me and my business to potential clients. She knew exactly what to do to accomplish the overall look/feel that I was going for. I wanted high professionalism and high style. She suggested we use her studio in order to achieve that look and it was absolutely perfect. Not only did my personal brand photos and videos turn out great, but I had a ton of fun during the whole process. Carsten put me completely at ease and gave me clear direction to make me feel like a pro in front of the camera (which I absolutely am not!). I've probably worked with 30 photographers in my career and she is the one I will recommend over and over again.”

“…I was introduced to Carsten from a co-worker’s referral. I used her for two executives’ headshots. Both of the executives are in love with their new photos thanks to Carsten…My executives are so proud to share their headshots - they look natural and their personalities shine through. She is so easy to work with - I would definitely use her again should I get the opportunity.”

“Carsten is the best! I went in to get my professional headshot taken and she was extremely attentive to what I wanted. She took numerous photos and would show me the results on her camera to pick out the facial expression, hair position, and even outfits. I could clearly tell that she’s passionate about not only photography but also to produce the best possible outcome that will satisfy her clients. She did an excellent job with the edits as well.”

“Carsten really helped me with getting comfortable during my photoshoot. I am so camera shy with getting into different poses and just being stiff and she really loosened me up. It was such an amazing experience. Alongside of that, she had different backdrops and various locations within and outside of her studio where she was able to capture all of the necessary shots. Even though I did not utilize the hair and makeup services next door to her studio, the fact that she offered that as an option really showed how extensive her studio serves their clients. You can tell that she really loves what she does and wants to make sure the client is comfortable from pre-booking all the way through the editing process. I will definitely be back to her studio for other photoshoots.”
