I reached out to Christine to do a maternity shoot with my husband and our two dogs, and I am SO glad that I did! She was so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable during the actual shoot (which we did at Del Mar Dog Beach). She was flexible and fun and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. The result was incredible photos that I will treasure forever. They turned out exactly the way I had hoped they would.

We cannot say enough good things about Christine. She is extremely talented and so fun to work with. She creates a fun and light hearted environment so everyone is relaxed and enjoys the shoot. She really gets to know her clients and helps you prepare for a successful and enjoyable photo shoot.

We booked her for a maternity shoot in Balboa park and a lifestyle newborn session at our home in La Jolla. We are so in love with the photos she captured of our growing family and will treasure them forever.
We absolutely love her and would highly highly recommend her.

If I can give her more than 5 stars, I would! Christine is AMAZING in every way.
My husband and I were in town visiting family and decided to go ahead and do our maternity session. Luckily I found her through Google and I am SO glad I did! Our first and only time meeting up and we felt really comfortable with her. She was able to capture the perfect view with the beach. We took pictures in La Jolla at the Children's Pool, which has a significant meaning to us. It started getting cloudy but Christine was able to make do with what we had.
You won't regret going with her. She's easy going and patient. She made our one hour session go by so fast. I was surprised we captured so many shots within that hour.
I have done a lot of photoshoots and she is one of the best. I hope we can come back with our little one and take family photos with her again.

Made just for you

Albums are available in a variety of sizes. Investment starts at $275. 

Digital photos have become the standard, with tangible printed memories falling by the wayside. But your family moments shouldn’t be trapped on your hard drive–they should be beautifully displayed in your home. With custom-created albums, the photos from your family session will have a life outside of your computer and will be there whenever you need a feel-good moment. Keep your album for yourself or create the perfect gift for a loved one. Either way, you’ll receive a carefully crafted piece of family history to cherish for years to come. 

Custom-Created Photo Albums

For memories you can feel

Fill out the inquiry form to request a session and let the fun begin! I’ll send you a link where you can choose your preferred session date, followed by a booking form with a link to process your $200 retainer fee. Once your date is secured, we’ll start prepping! 

01. Book Your Sesh

After booking your session, you’ll receive a link to my carefully curated client style guide. The guide will help you choose the perfect outfits for all of your family members, and you’ll be able to shop your looks with ease using the included shopping tool. A few weeks prior to your date, I’ll send out a questionnaire to learn a little bit more about what you’re looking for in family photos, as well as a list of my favorite photo spots. 

02. Plan + Prep

It’s time for a day of family fun! We’ll meet at your chosen session location and have a blast together. I want to capture your genuine connection and obvious love for one another, so I’ll create a mood that feels light and relaxed. Focus on staying present in the moment and I’ll document every smile. 

03. Photo Day

Is there any day that’s more exciting than photo delivery day?! I don’t think so. Within 30 days of your photo session, you’ll receive a link to your final gallery. There, you’ll be able to browse through every image, download all of your favorites (meaning every single one), and spend your print credit. Enjoy!

How This Works

Smiles Brighter Than The SoCal Sun

A:I know that choosing coordinating outfits for your photos can feel overwhelming, so I’ve created a comprehensive style guide to remove the guesswork! Once your session is booked, I’ll send over the link, which includes both my style guide and a shopping tool to make the process as easy as possible. Here’s my most important piece of advice when choosing an outfit: wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident!

Q: WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR FOR OUR SESSION?

A: I hear this all the time and I totally get it. I make my photo session fun for everyone involved–not just the kiddos–and also have several posts on my blog with my very best advice getting your partner on board.

Q: MY PARTNER DOESN’T WANT TO TAKE FAMILY PHOTOS. HOW CAN I MAKE IT FUN?

A: I want you to feel comfortable, but I would HIGHLY encourage you to step in front of the camera. First of all, you don’t want to miss out on a fun day with your family. Second of all, your kids are going to want photos with you in them too! So rather than focusing on your anxiety, focus on how much love you feel for your favorite people and have the best day ever.

Q: DO I HAVE TO BE IN THE PHOTOS?

A: You will receive sneak peeks from your photo session as soon as possible, and then your final gallery will be delivered within 6 weeks!

Q: When will we receive our final gallery?

A: Absolutely! I love to photograph families on vacation, and would love to be part of your trip to California. Just reach out and I’ll help you book a session while you’re in town! 

Q: We don’t live in California, but we’re visiting! Can we still book a photo session?

A: To secure your date, I require a $200 non-refundable deposit. Then, the remaining balance will be due 1 week prior to your session.

Q: Do you offer payment plans?

There’s nothing more important than family

Let’s catch those big feels on camera
