Christine is an inspiration to many like myself, not just because she’s
one awesome Photographer, but in her very nature, Christine is just a
wonderful person at heart. Her philosophy towards Photography and life
is all about paying it forward, giving back to people, and giving
generously. During the Pobke Magic Workshop, Christine taught me in
the span of 2 days, knowledge that would have otherwise taken me years
to acquire by myself. For this I’ll always be grateful to her. I’m re-evaluating
my approach to clients, my workflow process has been cut down
tremendously, and my entire career goals have been put into perspective
thanks to Christine’s guidance.
Thank you Christine, for being on this Earth. You’ve inspired me to be a
better Photographer, artist, and a better human being.”

“The Pobke Magic! workshop has had
a profound impact on me. I left the 2 day
experience with an immense amount of
knowledge, ideas and a deeper passion
and drive for photography. Christine has
the rare ability to instantly make
connections with people and I was
overwhelmed with how open, genuine
and giving she is. The Pobke Magic!
workshop was just that… truly magical.”

I was invited by a colleague to attend a 2-day wedding workshop given by Christine. As we are both studying photography and I have enjoyed dabbling in weddings
and portraits I thought it would be useful.
Useful … Wow!!! What an understatement that was!!!! Christine was dynamite, right from the offset she provided us with such openness and honesty,
covering everything from her business background knowledge, her suppliers and branding, to tips and advice with editing images. Guest speakers attended on the first
day which added more insight, and two sets of models attended the second. We were invited to shoot alongside Christine, but just watching her blew me away; her
ease and professionalism with the models/clients was outstanding.
Overall the workshop was absolutely fantastic, and the constant run of food and drinks wasn’t bad either :) I turned up the first morning feeling slightly intimidated as I
am still just starting out – but left like a new person. I was so inspired and my self-confidence has hit an all time high. Thanks to Christine, her workshop and her ongoing
mentoring, ‘I now know I can succeed’, and more importantly I know how to achieve that success.
Thank you so much Christine, you are truly one of life’s treasures.”

“From the moment I came across Christine’s blog early last year when researching for my own wedding, I wanted to meet this lady. Her images paint a thousand words and her words just… well… they make me happy! When Christine announced her national series of Pobke Magic workshops, I think I actually let out a little squeal and did a little happy dance. I’ve loved photography since I got my first old beat up manual SLR 15 years ago and have slowly but surely developed my own style and a love for natural light portraiture and weddings. Christine is so so open with everything, from how she started out to how she structures her pricing and packages, time saving tricks and tips to even getting to watch the master at work, shooting a gorgeous family and couple… I mean these are things that I think would take us years to figure out on our own! What Christine shared with us in 2 days was invaluable, insightful, inspiring, fun and just left me with so much motivation and inspiration I can’t wait to put what I learned into practice! Thanks Christine, not only are you one talented lady… you’re a doll xx”

“Two incredible days. Pobke magic. I walked away
inspired in SO many ways. I also walked away in
absolute awe of what you have achieved Christine in
such a sort space of time. Thank you for being an
open book. No holds barred, no question too silly or
too complex. Thank you for patience and your
generosity. I am not entirely sure how you put a dollar
value on what you have given us in such a sort space
of time, it is invaluable. You catered beautifully for our
diversity in skills and knowledge. Most of all thank you
for sharing yourself with us. You, your photography and
your brand in such an intimate and warm environment.”

“Dear Mrs Pobke,
Finally back home after my most amazing trip away. I want to say so much to you, where to start? Firstly, I want to say thank you. Words
can not express how grateful and honoured I was to join Pobke magic. The experience and opportunity you gave me was a gift I could never
ever forget your kindness and the way you made me feel. Without being too dramatic it was one of the best experiences of my life. (The
people who saw me wandering through Fortitude Valley with my camera, with tears of happiness rolling down my cheeks must have thought
I was just another freak!) Not only did I learn so much in those two days, I was totally inspired by your philosophy, so much of who you are,
your love and devotion is poured into your business, whilst on the other hand you are the most amazing and the savviest business woman.
Christine, I wanted you to know (after all your nerves and hard work) that you have made such a positive impression in my life, and not just in
photography. I took so much from those two days. I never want to stop enjoying what I do, and I want to continue to learn. FYI my big
highlights if I have to pick: branding; workflow (how simplified you made it; price structures and packages; your story (I got so much out of
this!); shooting & processing (just watching you with the family etc was fantastic!); setting goals; and lots and lots of other things I could jot
down, but basically…It was absolute Pobke Magic!!”
