You have done it again!! Superb. Captured the essence of who he is perfectly. Thank you, Christine, for being such a vital part of this mother-of-four’s peace of mind that everyone will have pictures on the wall, no matter their birth order! :grin: You are not only fantastic at what you do, but hold a special place in my heart as well.

Seriously, Christine, you are so great and your passion and love for what you do completely SHINES through the kids in those pix. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

WE LOVE THEM!!!!!!! Ahhhh!!!!
THANK YOU (and Laurie!) so much!
We only just returned from our honeymoon today–Internet access was ridiculously expensive on board the ship (.64/min) so we made ourselves wait to view the pictures until tonight (it was more difficult than waiting to open Christmas presents as a child!)…we got take-out from our favorite Mexican place and then settled in front of our laptops (both of them!) to view the pictures.
We are now super happy, incredibly tired, and really, really full.
We hope you are well!!
Thank you!!!
xoxo, Shelley (and David)

You are absolutely fabulous! I can’t believe I got the pictures today! I was so excited and amazed. They turned out beautifully. Kyle and I were so excited that we went out today and bought picture frames for them and got them all ready for the rehearsal dinner. We are giving one to each of our parents and sponsor families.
I hope it is ok, I scanned the extra picture to use as my profile picture on facebook!
Thank you again and again. Please let me know how much I owe you and I will send the check with Nathan next week.

Christine,
These are fabulous!! Thank you so much. You are incredibly talented and have an amazing gift with kids and babies. I’ve downloaded the pics off of your website and am going to start working on the announcement. Once we finish that, we’ll look at ordering prints. That actually may wait for a couple of months when we are out with my folks in CA. (much easier to do in person) Is there any issues in terms of the ordering from the websites below, if we wait until the end of May?
Thanks again! I’m sure I will be in touch again soon with more questions. I will also send you one of the announcements so you can see how it comes together.

Christine, I can’t even express how happy I am that we came to you. I’ve never, in their entire lives, had such amazing pictures. You’ve captured every single one of them perfectly in so many ways. Impish, serious, carefree, thoughtful, goofy… you did it all. For each and every one of them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Christine,
I love the pictures – they are absolutely stunning! We are still looking at them – it will be hard to decide. And I have several “wall” pictures to decide between.
I saw a button at the bottom of the picture that says add to cart – what is the next step?
Thank you – and I hope you don’ t mind – I raved about your work to the carpool moms (to Irving Middle School) yesterday.

SUBJECT: Re: THE PICTURES. I. LOVE. THEM.
Christine, I just got the proofs in the mail today. They are just what I was looking for. You captured The Belly perfectly. We had fun didn’t we? My favorites are the ones with the casual Russ shirt, and the arty ones where I look like I am the moon. You need to Photoshop Earthrise over my belly in the 3rd shot here. Russ loves the ones with the earrings and his shirt. Of course. Thanks so much for capturing this time in my life.See you soon.
— Katherine
P.S. I tried to post the above in your blog page, but the little circles just kept going round and round…will try again later.
P.P.S. I am going in for my induction tomorrow, bye bye belly.
Hello baby!

I love the black and white. I wanted to tell you too that I emailed my Mom the link to your blog so that she could see them and she loved them too. She was showing them to everyone in her office. They are so beautiful – she looks beautiful and angelic, but you definitely captured her fun and vibrant personality too. They just look like her to me.
Thank you, thank you. I’m looking forward to ordering them!
I hope you have a great weekend. Talk to you soon.

While you might think me an ungrateful subject for not getting back to you sooner, the truth is that I was literally overwhelmed with the pictures — starting w/ your blog. True, many are nuances of others, but my self-perception receptors (lol) were totally overloaded. It’s funny how we view ourselves. It’s like hearing a recording of our own voice. Is the recording how our voice really sounds or is the memory of our voice directly to our own ear “reality”? I don’t know the answer. Maybe it’s a little of both. And, yet, if there is anything my years have taught me, it is that beauty truly is only skin deep. And, as a matter of fact, may not even be that deep if marred by a hard heart. So, looks aren’t everything, and, yet, they are. It’s just that we must judge the total picture.
And that is your magic. You have taken the challenges presented (* laugh *) and seen quickly more of a total picture. That, in itself, is remarkable. But, moreover, you have captured and exposed to the very amazement of the subject himself so much of the total picture — so much beyond skin and bones. And, as my pictures demonstrate, even multiple facets of the total picture. You have, in fact, allowed me to glimpse myself in the different lights of life that I occupy. How blessed you are to have this talent and how blessed I am that you have shared it with me.
So, the different J. Burk Voigts that you have presented, some so diametrically different from the others, now need to be assembled and shared with my loved ones — moms, children and present and future grandchildren, to serve as an unexpected legacy from their son, dad and granddad. The right pieces matched together to leave them so much more of a composite picture than the old stained sepia prints that I inherited of my lineage.
To say I appreciate your work seems so inadequate, but I do so appreciate your work.
— J. Burk Voigt
