STUNNING!!!! It took literally years to finally get a shoot done with Carsten…Let me tell you it was absolutely worth the wait. She arrived and it was so comfortable. She was amazing with my kids (9,4&3), especially my son who was a little difficult because he isn't use to new people due to quarantine. She was able to get amazing shots and I was so happy with the selection. Once again even of my son who didn't want to take pictures. Overall I will definitely highly recommend and will return with her in the future. Thank you for your amazing work Carsten!

Carsten Tice Photography has been amazing! Carsten has taken our yearly family photos twice now and we couldn't image anyone else taking them. The pictures were so beautiful and she is so easy to work with. Carsten made sure we got all the photos we wanted and worked great with the two toddlers! Loved the candid shots and the posed one too! Carsten is just amazing!

We booked Carsten to shoot our family photos to commemorate mine & my husband’s 10th anniversary and she delivered a very beautiful set of photos. She is extremely professional, but also very warm and super kind—all the makings of a very comfortable photo session for our family. I highly recommend her! Communication was super easy and she delivered our photos edited within just a few days! Thank you, Carsten, for making our anniversary special and for helping us freeze some beautiful memories! ❤️

We chose Carsten due to both her existing portfolio (shown on her website), as well as her responsiveness and overall attitude. She suggested a wide range of locations for the maternity shoot and showed us some previous work she had done there to get an idea of what we could expect. I personally do not care to have my picture taken, but Carsten was very helpful in setting scenes and poses that resulted in pictures that I actually liked. After a great maternity session, we had some family in town for the holidays and again used Carsten to take outdoor family pictures. Despite the chaos of a large family and numerous requests for different personnel arrangements, Carsten again delivered wonderful pictures! We are looking forward to our second maternity session for baby #2 and I highly recommend Carsten for your professional photography needs!

Carsten was wonderful to work with for our maternity session. She made us very comfortable and caught some great moments in a beautiful setting recommended by her (Solstice Canyon in Malibu). She was very friendly and professional, giving us enough instruction to get the photos just right while still being very natural. We have gotten many compliments on the resulting photos and will definitely be using her again!

Carsten is professional, punctual, friendly and helpful! She has taken some beautiful photos of my growing family over the years. My daughter even knows her by name! …Thank you Carsten! I look forward to more moments captured by you!

Carsten is absolutely wonderful! She made our photoshoot look incredible even despite the rain! We will only be using her from now on. She is great with kids and very talented. Thank you, Carsten! We are so grateful for you. :-)

Carsten is truly one of the kindest and most selfless people I have ever met! My adoration for her as a person is rivaled only by her skill as a photographer. We have been lucky enough to have her photograph our family for the past few years and I’m always so in awe of how she captures the personalities and love of our family. Her ability to use natural light and capture the most gorgeous, warm colors make for classic, timeless images that will live in our home and heart forever. Thank you Carsten! I can not recommend her enough!

Carsten provided a wonderful photography experience for my family! She recommended a beautiful park setting which made an awesome backdrop for our pictures! She was so nice and patient with our group of 15 including little ones. We all treasure the results so much! Thank you so much Carsten!! We will certainly recommend you!!

Carsten's work is GORGEOUS! She's a truly talented photographer and a pleasure to work with too. I would highly recommend Carsten to any one seeking a wedding or portrait photographer in or around the Orange County area!

She really captures the moment in a special way. Amazing detail and great to work with!

Whenever Carsten has taken my picture, I'm always blown away by the results. Somehow she's able to capture the joy of the moment and preserve it within the photos. She gives good direction when it's needed. She's also good about seeing small details - like a hairband still on my wrist - that would otherwise be distracting in the final shot. Love her work!

We hire Carsten every year for family photos and she's done newborn photos for both our kids. Every time I'm blown away with the images she delivers to us. One year our son cried (what felt like) the entire time during our Xmas photo shoot. It was rough, and I was pretty sure we wouldn't get any good shots. BUT! Carsten somehow managed to capture the few moments he wasn't crying and the pictures were stunning! I don't know how she did it. Highly recommended.

Carsten came with a strong referral by a friend. This was our first time hiring an event photographer, so we did shop around. I got a range of quotes, but what led me back to Carsten was her flexibility and prompt follow through, she is very professional.

Carsten was on time at both venues, was patient, captured poses and candid shots, followed up with the edits as agreed upon and the entire experience was pleasant.

She got more brownie points by showing my daughter her foster kitten and we ended up adopting one through her from the shelter. My 9 year old, whose event Carsten photographed thinks Carsten is "kind, funny and one phenomenal photographer".

I would recommend her any time. Keep up your good work Carsten, all the very best and thank you again.

When we got engaged we connected with Carsten and she has been our go to photographer to capture our story. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and natural during our engagement session in Downtown Fullerton. We even got to bring our pup for a few shots. Even he looks like he is smiling in the pictures! Carsten also did my maternity shoot. She picked a great location that fit the look I had described to her. I'm pretty sure I remember her climbing a tree to get a shot. Next up is our family session! I know she will capture a happy, well-rested family. Our Facebook friends will envy us. Since I procrastinate on printing our photos, I like that she offers to help with that part. I ordered a few for Christmas presents last year and the quality surpassed that of a Target or CVS by a mile.

We have had two photoshoots with Carsten and we absolutely love everything about getting our photoshoots with her. We were lucky to have found Carsten through a photography site and we have been impressed both times. For families with small kids, Carsten is an angel and is so patient with kids and makes them comfortable during the photoshoot. It was a piece of cake getting pictures of our 8 month old and 3 year old at our first photo shoot with Carsten. Her photographic skills are stunning and very creative. We strongly recommend Carsten for your next photoshoot.

I've used Carsten Tice Photography a few different times and have always been very pleased. It can feel like a lot of pressure and kind of awkward having professional pictures taken, but Carsten is great at making you feel at ease. Most recently, she did my son's newborn photos. She had warned us beforehand that she had not done many newborn shoots before, but I trusted her and booked her anyway. I am SO glad we did!! The images she captured were truly phenomenal and I know they'll be cherished by us forever. She has a good eye for capturing that split-second moment...something you need for photographing a squirmy 7-day old!
