“Astrini has photographed many of my life’s major milestones – wedding, maternity, and now, a family shoot with a 4 month old.
As someone who is uncomfortable in front of the camera, I was always hesitant to be photographed. Astrini was able to coax my partner and I out of our shell for all of our shoots with her. She was able to get us both in a comfortable head space, encouraging us to be ourselves throughout the shoot, making our sessions fun and playful.
Astrini is extremely client-centered and listens to her client’s wishes and concerns. I expressed liking raw, documentary, less-posed style pictures. She was able to deliver by being intentional about capturing candid moments during shoots. During my wedding, I was amazed at how many pictures she was able to capture despite being on the sidelines. Likewise, during our family shoot, Astrini was able to curate a documentary style album, capturing our day-to-day activities as new parents.
Astrini is deliberate with her composition and edits – her pictures are artistic, and exudes warmth and emotion. It’s always a joy to receive an album knowing that she has put in a lot of effort to edit every single picture to perfection.
I cannot recommend Astrini enough as a photographer! She is amazing to work with and will definitely not disappoint no matter the occasion!”

“What sets Astrini apart is her keen eye for capturing the beauty in the unscripted moments. On our wedding day, she seamlessly blended into the background, capturing genuine moments without ever feeling intrusive. Her passion for storytelling through photography was evident. Her ability to document raw emotions and the fleeting glances made us feel like we were reliving those precious moments each time we flipped through the photographs.”

“We had a small low-key Catholic mass to get married the day before our wedding. The plan was to be so low-key that we weren’t going to even have a photographer, but I decided to see if I could find one to just have some photos. A fellow Catholic responded to my request to do it at my budget. Turns out this woman did AMAZING work and I feel like we got her at SUCH a steal!!! She is extremely talented behind the camera, speedy at delivery all the photos and communicating, and was such a joy to have there! I’m amazed at how much variety she got in her photos and how extremely high quality and creative it all is. I’m so thankful for you Astrini - your work is pure excellence and generous, and I’m so glad that I last minute decided to look for a photographer for this! <3”

“Astrini did such an amazing job photographing our family in the snow! With a 6 month old, it's tough to get good shots but she was super patient with us and let us take breaks as needed. She also did my maternity shots so I'm very happy that she was able to take our photos in both life stages.”

“Astrini captures raw moments with artistic perspective. With two little kids, family photo session could be a stress, but Astrini made the session fun and easy for us. We felt like it was just a Saturday stroll in the neighborhood. We treasured the moments we shared in our pictures. Highly recommend her.”
