Cristen creates a comfortable environment that my wife so enjoyable we’re doing one more.
Impressive, non-​threatening professional photographer, extremely hard to find.

I can’t tell you enough how awesome this boudoir shoot with Cristen was!!! This is the first time I have ever taken boudoir/​intimate photos, but I wanted to give my fiancé something special for our upcoming wedding.
Cristen is so nice and personable, she immediately made me feel so comfortable and helped me relax! She helped me pick out the outfits that I was to wear to create fun and sexy looks. She then prepped my hair and makeup and seriously, I never felt so sexy and gorgeous! Both were flawless and she did such an excellent job.
Cristen had everything set up and ready to go for a quick and fun shoot. She demonstrates what kind of poses will look good on camera and had me imitate those looks. Throughout the entire shoot we laughed, joked around and just chatted it up. She was so sweet, down to earth and professional – she really makes the photo shoot a fun and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Cristen for any kind of intimate photo shoot, I can’t wait to see my photos and I know my husband to be is doing to love them as much as I will ;) !

Hi Cristen ! Its me Kanzel
I just wanna say Thanks for everything !!
All i can say is CRISTEN she amazing and professional, i came from Texas just for her photo shoot, i also love her dog, he is so sweet and cute .
Thank you Cristen for everything
Cant wait to make appointment for my second photo shoot :)

Do you want to feel and look beautiful, if only for a moment? Do you want that moment captured and thus treasured forever? Then Cristen is the person to see!
When I got there, she chatted, did my makeup, and my hair. I’ve never done a boudoir photo shoot before. But Cristen talked me through the steps, and told me how amazing I looked along the way. She made me feel extremely comfortable and glamorous.
She is full of sexy, fun, and sophisticated pose ideas, along with vintage looking furniture to use. She is very personable and will befriend you right away!
I will go to her for any other intimate photo shoots. And I highly recommend that anyone go to her. I ordered the photo album, and am giving it to my hubby for his birthday. But this is something we will get to keep forever. A beautiful moment, captured, and kept.

I had dreamed for years of doing a boudoir shoot! It felt like a scary but exciting expression of total femininity — something to have not just as a surprise for the man in my life, but also just to have for myself. I bought her deal on Living Social and let the voucher expire. Almost a year later I got back in touch with Cristen. I was SOOO pleasantly surprised at her ability to accommodate me even after the expiration date. She is a true artist and professional, yet also has a very disarming, down to earth charm. She made me feel so at ease in my skimpy outfits, and demonstrated the most attractive angles and poses so I didn’t have to worry about finding the poses myself. Her hair/​makeup application skills are also fabulous — just an extension of her artistic talents. Her studio is 2 stories and has so many different photo background settings (spiral staircase, wood floors, luxurious fur rugs, great lighting, old fashioned lounges, great bed with different spreads, etc). She blends the various studio backgrounds expertly with your outfits. I’ve already referred 2 girlfriends and encourage all women to please do this for yourself. I cannot wait to see the finished photos and already know I am going to love them! Thank you Christen!

So so so so happy with Cristen and her fabulous photography. I had planned to just use my living social and get the 10 digital files… but after seeing just 2 shots, I knew that was no longer an option. I could never pick just 10!
Not only was the session extremely fun, but she also made me feel very comfortable and helped with poses. I can’t wait to get my «grooms gift» book back!!!

I walked into this shoot anxious not knowing what to expect and left a happy customer. I had never done a shoot like this, yet Cristen made it feel so easy and flow smooth. She did my hair, makeup, and suggested outfit choices. She told me what poses to do and listened to any input I wanted to add. Overall I was very pleased and highly recommend her!

Cristen is beyond Amazing! Had my Boudoir photo shoot done last week and even though I haven’t seen my pictures I’m confident they will look awesome! The pictures are a gift I am giving to my fiancé on the day of our wedding. From start to finish Cristen put me at ease and made me feel 100% comfortable in very skimpy outfits! She really knows what she is doing and I am really excited to see how they turn out! Would definitely recommend Cristen and hope to use her services in the future! :)
p. s. I live in Santa Barbara so I made a special drive just for this shoot, definitely worth it!
Update: I have seen my pictures and they are BEYOND amazing! Cristen is a true artist and made me look stunning! Very excited to give these photos to my fiancé, he is going to flip when he sees them! If you want amazing quality and a friendly photographer there is no other choice than Cristen Geller!

Lovely gal who is very passionate about her work. Makes the event fun and completely comfortable. Push yourself to do it, you won’t be sorry.

Cristen is a outstanding photographer with a great eye. She made me feel very comfortable and at ease, a few times I even felt like a victoria’s secret model! She curled my hair and it looked fantastic, and made sure I had time to wear all my lingerie outfits. I was really pleased and would go back to her for another shoot, or recommend her services to a friend. The photos came a little later than promised, but they turned out great!

I had a shoot with Cristen today and was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it was. Cristen is a total professional and made me feel so comfortable and at ease during the entire session. She kept saying «beautiful» and «gorgeous» and filled me with confidence making me feel so beautiful. I’d absolutely recommend her to others as it was a great experience!

Cristen honestly does great work, I bought the groupon a few months back as a gift to my husband and oh man I was soooo apprehensive about being in lingerie in front of someone I did not know. I was super nervous the day of and totally thought she was going to judge my mommy body. It was nothing like I imagined, she actually makes the atmosphere very comfortable and welcoming. Much like another review, hearing «gorgeous!» and «I love it!» made me feel less self conscious. The pictures were unbelievable, totally worth it. Anyone considering going to her… GO! You will love her work.

Cristen Geller is amazing! I bought the Groupon for the Boudoir Photo Shoot as a surprise for my boyfriend. I decided to theme my shoot and arrived with rockabilly bikinis and some hair extensions. Nervous that I would look like a stuffed pig, (I’ve gained a few over the years) she made me feel completely at ease. She did my makeup and hair and I LOVED it. Once she started shooting I had so much fun that I forgot I was pretty much almost naked.
My boyfriend LOVED the pictures so much and now has a dirty nickname for me. I recommend this for anyone looking to have fun and for me when I am feeling ick, those pictures make me feel beautiful!

What can I say about Cristin? I can’t say enough good things about her. she is truly a hidden gem and one of the best kept secrets in the photography world. I have used her for nine boudoir shoot so far and counting. she is a professional at what she does and a true artist in every sense of the word. she has a beautiful studio on Silver Lake and uses the best equipment and lighting and does a fantastic job with hair and makeup and knows just how to pose you in the most flattering way making you look your best. I shopped around for a long time before finding her and you will not find another photographer of her caliber and what she has to offer at a better rate. Run don’t walk and make an appointment for a shoot with her today.

I am probably one of the MOST self conscious people you will ever meet. I don’t even wear bikinis! But Cristen made me feel so incredibly comfortable that I didn’t even fret walking around nearly naked and having her take my picture. I checked out all of her Unilocal Reviews prior to going in for my shoot, and I can confirm that everything everyone said is 100% true. She did a fantastic job on hair and make up, and gave the best directions when having you pose for pictures.
I got an email from Cristen this morning with my edited photos, I was freaking to open them — — again, I hate looking at pics of myself — but it was probably the most PLEASANT surprise ever — I nearly cried. I immediately wrote her and told her how much I loved her and how she made me look.
Cristen is well worth every penny (and she is btw, one of the most affordable Boudoir Photographers I researched!) — — I probably would’ve paid her double knowing how amazing these pics would turn out in the end!
Can’t wait to give them to my Fiancé on our Wedding day in a few weeks!
THANK YOU CRISTEN!

Cristen is an amazing photographer! My boyfriend and I went to her for couples boudoir photos. She is super chill and cool to work with! My hair and makeup was beautiful. Her studio is hip and comfortable. All I can say, when we received our finished photos was they were AMAZING! She somehow made us look like models! She captured everything we were going for. I plan to go back in the future for more! You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend CG Studios :)

Cristen is beyond amazing! I had a photo shoot today and was super nervous. Cristen is so easy going and awesome that it took no time before I felt comfortable. Her hair and makeup was gorgeous. She is a phenomenal photographer. I would recommend Cristen over and over again without hesitation! She is professional, her studio is clean and very inviting and she makes you feel your best!

My pictures turned out AMAZING! I gave the pictures to my husband on our wedding day right before we walked down the aisle. He loved them! He even told me to be a lingerie model thats how good they looked. Cristen is amazing and makes you feel comfortable. I already feel comfortable posing for pictures but I know if someone were nervous about doing this, Cristen would be the best place!
Thank You Cristen for all your time! I plan to come back to you when my husband and I get pregnant so you can capture that memory!

Cristen is a AMAZING photographer. The finished product will make you want to go back for another session. This I promise. She is a super cool girl and is very accommodating and willing to work with you to make you comfortable. She’s experienced and will help guide your photo session to maximize your best poses and looks ever.
What’s great is that she will also do your hair and makeup. That’s a plus cause as the photographer she instinctively knows what will work with her camera.
She is also a very good communicator which definitely helps in planning the shoot and making it all happen.
Sadly, I had a photoshoot with Cristen but unfortunately the photos at that particular shoot got messed up and unsalvageable. (not gonna go into details). She called me and offered another shoot ASAP and apologized and kept her word on making the next shoot even better!
I would not go anywhere else moving forward for a boudoir photoshoot. She makes you comfortable, she’s a great communicator, she’s accommodating, she’s got the triple threat (hair-​makeup-​photography), and her studio is clean and gorgeous.
Get ready to feel at home and meet a really cool chick! She will make you feel like you’re working with a friend, not just a photographer. Don’t look any further, this is the one stop shop for your sexy photo needs.
Thank you Cristen, I will come back for more.

Excellent experience. Cristen is nice, welcoming, and amazing at her job. I love the fact that I am touched up but still look like myself. (I do not like fake looking models like many that I saw when comparing studios…)
She is great at hair. Great at makeup. Great at instructions. Great at making the photoshoot fun. Great at photoshop. Seriously… what CAN’T this girl do?!
I will definitely come back. It was an amazing experience I will never forget. Thanks for exceptional service all for a great price.
