Christie is the most personable and caring person to work with. We have known Christie for a long time. Christie has an exceptional talent for capturing the authentic moments that make everyday life beautiful. Specializing in lifestyle photography, she effortlessly blends natural light, candid moments, and a keen eye for detail to create images that feel both intimate and timeless.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Christie who created a custom logo for my brand, and I couldn't be happier with the result! From the very beginning, she took the time to understand my vision, values, and target audience. She listened attentively to my ideas and incorporated them seamlessly into the design process. Not only does the logo look fantastic, but it also conveys the message I want to share with my audience. I've already received numerous compliments from clients and colleagues alike, and I can see how it enhances my overall branding. Working with her was a delightful experience. Her creativity, professionalism, and dedication to delivering a high-quality product truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a custom logo that reflects their brand's personality. Thank you for bringing my vision to life! ~ Julieny R

Absolutely amazing experience! We did beach photos and they turned out absolutely AMAZING! I will cherish these pictures forever, after 2 days she sent me the whole edited album and it was so much better than I even thought it would be! Christie and her assitant were so kind and helpful to calm my 2 year old, make her smile, and actually look at the camera. (Not an easy feat) But they handled it so well. I cannot even believe how many pictures she got of our daughter actually smiling! You would never know she was in a bad mood half the session.lol I was absolutely blown away! SO SO happy with our family pictures! ~ Megan T

I do not have personal experience with this lovely photographer, BUT I do have very good friends who do, and here are some things I’ve heard through the grapevine: 1. This photographer can take a picture of Grouch’s house (yes a trash can) and make it look like a royal palace 2. She has an automatic connection to any animal you may love. That’s right! Dogs, cats, blue whales, crocodiles. She’s basically Dr. Do little. 3. Word around town is that every photo printed somehow has a gold hue to it. As in, it literally turns into gold. Magician perhaps? 4. Need I say anything else? ~ riley s

Christie was AMAZING in every facet of the word! From communication leading up to the session to getting gallery back in a timely manner - she is a photographer, Guru-Rockstar! I will say I was very nervous going into my session, being 30 weeks pregnant and it being a maternity shoot - with the changes to my body the third trimester brings I wasn't exactly feeling confident in myself. She was so kind, complimentary, and helped the initial awkwardness melt away with a few tips and tricks on hand and body placement. In my gallery, she has captured the love my husband and I have for each other so naturally, and she made it look effortless! During our session, she showed me a few raw images, which also boosted my confidence tremendously! 10/10 would recommend to anyone AND will def be booking again, especially when baby comes! She is a light to be around and makes photo magic happen ♡ thank you endlessly! My little family loves you, Christie!!! ~ Emerald W

Pulling up to our maternity photoshoot my 3 and a half year old decides to have his first meltdown tantrum of his life. I was feeling all the things and trying everything to calm him down. Christie was super understanding and patient while my other half got him to finally settle and helped him feel comfortable as well! She does an incredible job capturing candid style photos that I love and gave GREAT direction as we are an awkward family that don’t know how to pose 😅 Highly recommend working with her she is so sweet professional and works quickly! So helpful with littles! ~ tirtha f

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Christie for my maternity photo shoot, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and results. She has an incredible eye for detail, a calming and warm presence, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the shoot. The photos turned out beautifully—elegant, intimate, and full of love. She captured such a special moment in my life with grace and artistry. I’ll cherish these photos forever. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly magical shoot! ~ Chanda P

Christie took our wedding photos. They turned out fantastic! I was nervous because we were coming from out of state and eloping. Christie was amazing communicator. She was very easy to work with. She suggested another location to get the beach vibes we were hoping for. We were able to do two shoots with her. She got us all the photos that I wanted and then some. She helped us feel natural in each photo. She also got our gallery back super quick. It was amazing! Thank you Christie! We love our photos! 💕🎉🌺 ~ McKell H

We had such a positive experience with Christie with Aloha Little One photography! We wanted to capture our busy family with five little kids on the beach and she delivered. Not only were the photos beautiful, but she was patient, great with kids, picked a great venue, and even brought along her wonderful daughters to help wrangle babies on the beach. I also appreciated her availability, price point, and how quickly she got the digital photos to us. I highly recommend her services! ~ Maureen L

The final images exceeded my expectations and captured the essence of the moment perfectly. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking stunning visuals and a seamless experience. ~ Kim V

I can't recommend Christie from Within the Wonder enough! She created an absolutely incredible logo for my business that perfectly captures my vision. From start to finish, she was professional, creative, and truly listened to my ideas. Her attention to detail and artistic talent brought my brand to life in a way I couldn't have imagined. If you're looking for a designer who understands your vision and delivers beyond expectations, Christie is the one! Thank you so much for your amazing work! ~ Jennifer D

I’m so glad we booked with Christie!! We had our pregnancy announcement photos taken by her, and she brought our vision to life in the most beautiful location. She knew all the best spots on the beach and was so easy and kind to work with! She had our photos finished and sent to us in less than 36 hours, which is unheard of! We couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re in Oahu, book with Christie! ~ Rachel T

A pleasurable experience! Both professional and patient with my little one and our lack of experience being photographed! She understood our vision and followed through in a prompt manner which really helped with our 3 year olds attention span. I’ll look forward to working with her again and would highly recommend her to for anyone looking for quality family photos! ~ Mark B

Christie did a photo shoot of my 3 year old, and the pictures are priceless! My little girl is very shy, but Christie coaxed her gently and somehow managed to sneak and capture the most beautiful smiles!! In addition to her top notch skills, Christie was also super easy to work with. She has a calm and confident demeanor, and she appreciates the humor in life! ~ Jessika H

I wanted maternity photos while on a babymoon in Hawaii and Christie made that happen! I will forever cherish these photos and memories! Christie is sweet, professional, and a great communicator. She provides affordable photo packages and I got the photos the very next day. I would highly recommend booking with her! ~ Lacey S

Christie is an absolute pro at what she does! She knows her equipment well and all our photos came back spectacularly.

Aunty Christie was able to capture some special moments from our wedding. It was great to know that we had someone who was so reliable. She showed up early and made sure to take lots of photos for us. We were pleasantly surprised to see such a good mix of both portrait and candid photos! She is also so kind, quick and flexible!! ~ Melia N

Christie did such an amazing job capturing the moment! She did my maternity photoshoot on Waialae beach park and it’s one of the most beautiful beaches on the island! She is so sweet and perfect at helping you pose and get the perfect shot! I can’t wait to have her take our newborn pictures when our baby is here! ~ Paige R

Yesterday, she did mine and my husbands pregnancy photos on the beach. Now keep in mind. My husband and I never go do photoshoots together , but she still knew exactly what to do to make us comfortable.. I’m super grateful for how they turned out and I’ll be coming back to see her shortly after our child is born next couple weeks :) ~ alexis t
