Testimonials
“Christiana is a very intelligent, highly principled and magnificently talented and hard-working model who will collaborate with superior photographers to create art of the very highest caliber. When you collaborate with Christiana you can expect a product that is more than just the sum of its parts – that is what a true artistic collaboration is all about.”
Robert McAlpine

“Having known and worked with Christiana for over a three years, I love to create amazing photos of her. What’s so special about Christiana is that her years of incredibly deep industry knowledge, experience and connections are balanced with true passion.”
Steve Tran
Photographer, Gatineau
“Being a tall model myself, I was surprised to find it so difficult to find another tall model to pose with. After a year or so of searching, I met Christiana. We clicked right away, specifically because I was so refreshed with how business oriented she was, while most of the other models I had met were concerned with how pretty they looked. Christiana knows business. Shortly after meeting, we set off on our first tour together, which quickly turned into multiple throughout Ontario, Quebec, and New York state. Her professionalism is of the highest quality, especially with her communication. As for my experience of posing with her – I’ve always had a fantastic time. Christiana is both well equipped on very pretty, and artistic poses – along with thinking outside of the box and experimenting with poses that might not be pretty at all – which in some cases (and in my opinion) is the entire point. She is a fantastic model, and if you are considering booking her – you should do yourself a favour and just do it.”

“As a photographer I found Christiana to be personable, professional, ready with her own poses and yet quite willing to accept requests or suggestions, totally comfortable before the camera. After the shoot dealing with the proofs and edits, Christiana was a prompt and responsive communicator.

“Christiana Ouellette and I have worked together a handful of times and she is one of those models who’s seen and done it all. She never lowers her morals or standards. She’s stays professional at all times. She is extremely easy to work with and knows how to pose, even when very little direction is given, she can fill in the blanks to give you the result you are after. She is ultra dependable and has a perfect track record of being punctual. When you’re looking to avoid negative surprises or drama from a model, Christiana is “tried and true” and always delivers without any of the negative side effects you may encounter with other models in the business.”
Patrick Arial

“I enjoyed working with Christiana very much she is talented, intelligent and very pretty and has great initiative!”
Vincenzo Pontarelli
Photographer, Montreal
“There are a lot of lovely young women who will stand under the lights for money. A professional model is much more. Knowledge of posing, how light and shadow effect the form and capturing the mood and emotion within the scope of the project are much more demanding. I have had the pleasure of working with Christiana a number of times. She brings a wealth of experience, a light heart and a willingness to lend her expertise to each proposed theme. Whether as a solo or in a duet, Christiana brings a flair and sense of excitement that is contagious for all participants. I have asked Christiana to work under difficult conditions and she has not only agreed but has thrived on the challenge. Working with any professional model will help you take your work to the next level and Christiana is one of the best.” https://www.iandaltonphoto.com/p883872695 https://www.iandaltonphoto.com/

“I had the pleasure of photographing Christiana during a creative mermaid shoot with a few other photographers. She was thoroughly in character and knew exactly how to pose. The water was cold, but she never complained, and when a few of the other photographers asked her to go deeper into the water to get the shot they wanted, she didn’t hesitate. She took direction well and was quite professional.”
Hélène
Raventhorne Photography, Gatineau
“I had an opportunity to work with Christiana on a shoot project about 4 years ago. She struck me as a stunningly beautiful young lady with a positive vibe, essential for easy collaboration. We became Facebook friends and I followed her since, only to be more amazed by her ability to juggle multiple tasks under pressure but with desirable results. She was then studying at Carleton University, working on a part time job, and managing her own modelling business, all of which requires dedication, commitment and professionalism for quality work. I think she did it!”
Bing Wen
Photographer, Ottawa
“I had a good time working with Christiana. She was very easy to work with and came prepared. She did a wonderful job at the workshop and had a variety of poses for the group. She was very responsive to my messages throughout the entire process and I know she’s capable of getting the job done.”
#ManhattanPhotographyWorkshop, NYC
“There she was on my doorstep – a red-headed beauty ready for anything. I had a pretty agressive schedule with 4 activities planned. First off I got out my trusty airbrush and before you know it black skulls and snakes covered her pretty much head to toe. Then we added a collar with a big chain. It turned out pretty cool. Haha Next up was Shibari. I have this neat rope that glows under UV light so we made a simple chest harness and turned on the black light and lit her up. Skulls, snakes, and now rope!! Too much fun! So lets talk a bit about Christiana as I worked with her. I believe in a lot of communication and Christiana was very clear with what she was comfortable with. Super easy-going and personable, easy to talk to and accomodating. Christana knows how to pose which was a real treat. This is a smart girl as well making it easy to chit-chat and the time just flew by. Every girl loves glitter so hey! We went for it and made an outfit of pink and gold glitter. Black electrical marked boundaries on her body for nice clean transitions from skin to glitter for the V-neck top. I used hair gel to make the glitter stick so obviously this was a monstrous mess. Christiana just laughed and smiled as I worked away. Our foray into wax was the final project of the day. I melted spa wax (super safe with a low melting point) and colored it. Then I dripped it all over her making cool patterns. Then we took a large sheet of it and strategically draped it over her. Ya! Fun x 1000!! 4 projects and 10 hours later, Christiana was still happy, personable, and easy going. If you are looking for a beautiful smart model with great stamina and social skills then I have no problem recommending Christiana.”

Her attentiveness to providing corporate branding while using innovative original ideas is the reason why I will continue to seek her as a commercial model, art model and brand ambassador. This industry demands the creation of good work in a very small amount of time. You need a model that can identify your vision and reflect the best image your creative team can execute. This international model and producer brings professionalism, style, grace and that “wow-factor” to your project. Christiana is a perfect addition to any creative team and will turn your ordinary vision into extraordinary art!”

She has an excellent repetoire of poses that she uses effectively for the theme of the shoot. I would highly recommend Christiana for any level of photographer, her ability to help the beginner through a shoot is a blessing right up to the professional who knows what they want to see as a finished product.”
D.J. Clarke
Photographer, Ottawa
“I’ve worked with Christiana 3 times with a group of photographers and twice by myself. I’ve found her attitude to be very professional; she arrives on time, is congenial and easy to work with, and is very good with creative ideas for posing. Not always the case with some models, or would be models I’ve worked with in the past.”
Dave Grant
Photographer, Ottawa
“I’ve worked with Christiana on several shoots. She is great to work with. She is professional, organized and punctual. She is open to creative ideas and adventurous. I’m pleased with the images that we’ve created together and I’m looking forward to the next opportunity to shoot with her.”
Paul Thompson

“I only had the chance to work with Christiana once, recently. She was recommended by another model I know. Coming from her peer, this is especially meaningful. I’m glad I followed up on this advice. Christiana is an enthusiastic and versatile professional. She was well-prepared, attentive to details and communicative throughout the photoshoot. She is receptive, uncomplicated to work with, taking initiative to vary poses and adapting a concept with minimal instructions. All in all, Christiana is a very nice, friendly and courteous person, proficient in all aspects of modelling, passionate and talented about her art. I would work with her again with no hesitation. Highly recommended.”
Stéphane
Photographer, Montreal
“Christiana is quite simply a wonderful photographic subject. Working with her is as easy as it is rewarding. Her ability to pose and emote is first rate. However even more importantly her personal sense of style and self combine to create an incredible photographic subject. Every look we shot, every image we created Christiana posed both boldly and openly, owning whatever pose I asked her to create and then taking over and expanding upon what I had asked for. Christiana is an ideal model.”
JQuest
Photographer, Syracuse
“Have worked with Christiana on a couple of outdoor shoots. On both occasions she was fantastic to work with, didn’t complain about the weather and had an extremely positive perspective on the shoot. She is a highly focused, hard-working model who is very easy to work with. She’ll collaborate with you to capture the images you were envisioning and offers constructive ideas. She has a fun personality and definitely someone you should work with on your next photoshoot”
Ron Fillier

Don Barrett
Photographer, Ottawa
“I have collaborated with Christiana several times and have found her to be professional and reliable. As a photographer, I tend to keep direction to a minimum, so it’s great to work with someone who can pose themselves in a way that is striking and emotive. My photo shoots with Christiana have been enjoyable and very productive.”
Jeremiah Sabadoz
Photographer, Burlington

Denine Wrixon
Photography Program, Co-ordinator, Algonquin College, Ottawa
“I had the pleasure of working with this young lady. She never complained to me and was always obliging as to the poses I needed. Of course I asked her first if it was alright with her and to contribute any input she might have have to the shot. She is very prompt and likewise well mannered. I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants especially to shoot fine art nudes. I particularly appreciated her feedback here. She would be an asset to anyone’s portfolio.”
Robert Mitchell
Photographer, Surrey
“Since 2014 Christiana and I have shoot together at least 30 times. She has been a regular at my many workshops and an amazing muse. We covered so many styles, including Glamour, Fashion, Editorial, Art Nude, Boudoir, Cosplay, Pin-up, Swimwear and Bridal. She is super entrepreneurial often suggesting fun and creative themes for new workshops. This not only netted her some tidy profits but made her a highly recognized and sought-after model in Ottawa. Many of our images were published in a variety of magazines and her list credits include feature articles and covers. Seeking to go even further we chatted about options and she agreed to expand her success to other cities and venues. It is wonderful to see how she has continuously spread her wings. From a local agency model, to a well-travelled self-managed artist. She consistently has been dependable, reliable and professional. All the while, remaining beautiful and creative. For the longest time, she was making many of her own props and wardrobe, styling shoots and now is also branching out to photography. I have no hesitation recommending Christiana to anyone seeking to collaborate on either side of the camera.”
Mike Giovinazzo
Photographer and Workshop Organizer for #OttawaPhotographyMeetup, Ottawa
“I’ve had the pleasure of working on several occasions with Christiana over the last 5 years. Together we have completed many styles of photography: nudes, boudoir, fashion, cosplay, and swimsuit. She is always personable and very professional. She is always on time and ready to go (hair and makeup always impeccable). Christiana’s extensive modeling experience makes working with her easy. She knows how to pose and requires little guidance. You can tell that she enjoys modeling, she takes her role seriously while having fun. She always seeks to deliver on the photographer’s vision. Largely through the efforts of Christiana a number of the photos we have produces have been publish in a magazines. You can view photos I’ve taken of Christiana on my flickr site http://bit.ly/2R8Kf8E. I look forward to more projects with her. She has my highest recommendation.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Christiana Ouellette on several occasions. She is an amazing model with beauty and talent galore. Christiana is extremely professional, dedicated, energetic, and immensely creative. She exuberates poise and beauty in the studio, as well as in rustic outdoor locations.

Alexander J Bordeaux

“Christiana participated in a project I’ve been working on for several years. In that time I’ve worked with some of the top traveling models around, and Christiana stacks up well against them all. She has a great, and unique, look and and knows how to work her body for the camera. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and gives 100% from start to finish. I can’t recommend her enough.”
Rob Grien
Mont Vert Studio, West Stockbridge
“I had the pleasure of working with Christiana on her visit to Calgary in September of 2018. She is talented in many ways but there were two things that truly impressed me. First, her patience. I was having technical issues and she kept her composure and poses while I worked through them. I would not have shot the quality images I did without her calm demeanor. Second, Christiana is able to move naturally, comfortable, relaxed, poses with little or no direction, she knew how the light was hitting her body, where the shadows were and how to keep the light on her where I wanted without direction. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her next time she travels through.”
Owner
On The Road Photography, Calgary
“I’ve had the chance to work with Christiana several times in the past and again recently – in workshops, one-on-one and with another model in a duo. During the shoot Christiana is always outgoing, creative and collaborated extremely well working through poses and wardrobe. She is sweet, fun-loving, talented, easy to work with and extremely friendly. Her modelling experience was evident and I would work with her again anytime.”

Alain Dagenais
Photographer, Gatineau
“I was fortunate to have gotten in contact with Christiana while she was traveling through my city. We met shortly before our shoot and from our conversation I could already tell she was a real pro while also very friendly. Our shoot proved she was that and more. My purpose for working with her was to submit work for publication on online magazines. Christiana was knowledgeable and versatile, plus we had a lot of fun creating together, and our work reflected these qualities. My first submission of our images was immediately accepted and published on Dekan magazine, with a couple more sets on the pipeline. This success is due mostly to Christiana’s talent and professionalism. Not only is she an experienced model, she is also a great person with whom I hope to work again.”
Josh Pine
Faces & Places Photography, Salt Lake City

“Truly one of my favorite models to work with. Christiana comes to my sessions prepared.

When she does travel to my area again I will contact her again.”
Raymond Wong

She has always been very professional, respectful and punctual and has brought a great variety of poses and modeling experience to our classroom and art studio environment. Christiana also takes direction very well and is always eager to try new and fun poses that work well for our respective industry.
I wish her well and hope she continues to explore and push her passion for modeling as she furthers her career on this artistic journey.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need any further insight to my experience working with Christiana.”
Jeff Amey
Animation Professor, Algonquin College
“Christiana Ouellette has been a life model in my drawing class for the past three years for numerous sessions. I rely upon her for strong poses, held well for their durations.
My class is different from classic life drawing, which is Christiana’s forté, and she has proven versatile to manage my more dynamic needs for illustration.
As such, Christiana is a regular member of my model rotation.”
