-— Workshop Attendee

“Working with Christie completely elevated the way I approach boudoir. She doesn’t just teach posing or lighting — she teaches intention. I left with a clearer artistic vision, stronger client direction, and the confidence to raise my prices without hesitation. Her mentorship changed the trajectory of my business.”
