Not your typical family photo session experience.

Whether you're expecting first time mother, or a family of five, these Storytelling Family Sessions are for you, my love! Storytelling Family Sessions are all about capturing your family in a way that is emotionally charged and authentic to you! It can be nerve-racking to be in front of the camera. It is totally okay to be nervous; I have pretty much ran in the opposite direction of a camera all my life. This type of session is more than just the posed. There was a time where we all smiled for the camera in every single photo, but rules are meant to be broken.


Our time together will be spent capturing the moments, all the FEELS, and the adventures that tell your story. From the tiny little details of your little's hair blowing in the wind, to the belly laughs, and their toes; we'll capture these fleeting moments. Together, we'll laugh, dance and play or maybe sing. This will be an experience that you'll love, and never want to forget.

No more forcing your child to sit still and pose for the camera or the worry that your child is running away from the camera. We'll explore in order to create moments that you can look back on for a lifetime. During this whole process you will interact authentically with your family. Not sure what do in your session? That's okay! I will guide you through the process, in a way that the moments will come naturally. 


Storytelling sessions start out at $549, however most clients invest up to $1,000. This includes access to my beautiful client closet, and assistance styling your family. For more info on my client closet, KEEP SCROLLING!

Love notes

Million Family

“Christa always makes us feel so comfortable! She is so incredibly easy to work with and captures our family so well! We always feel super comfortable and natural in front of the camera, even though we're not used to being in front of it. The photos turned out amazing, and she totally rolled with the punches. Our 18 month old was not excited about being still, but she still made it and Christa had so many creative solutions.”

If a Mini Session is more your style...

I totally understand. Mini sessions are not for everyone and every family is a little different. Due to demand, I offer these 1-2 times a year. If you're just busy, or have littles who you don't think will make it through a full session (I'm here to help you with that), but I understand why a mini session may be more of your style. Or you just want a variety of different photos often, join our mailing list.


On the flip side, I'm actually a super big advocate of full sessions because it often times does give us a bit more time to get your child to warm up in front of the camera, and for more authentic and genuine moments to unravel.
