"We enjoyed working with Christa! She was quick to reply which made planning for our session less stressful. Christa also included a lot of information in her emails, again, making prep for our session less stressful! We did a family session including a 2 year old and newborn, yikes! Christa reminded me during the session that we were doing great and our two year old was acting just as most do. That comment alone allowed me to relax and have fun with my family. The pictures were perfect and had a very natural feel to them. Looking forward to booking again!"

"Christa is the best of the best. At our most recent session my toddler was NOT happy. She was running off, refusing to smile, and being downright difficult. However, Christa is a pro who knows how to bring out the best in everyone. She’s an experienced photographer who can snap the quickest frame of a kiddo smiling between ten minutes of scowls, she makes people of all sizes look and feel confident, and she makes you feel safe and comfortable. Your time with Christa will truly be worth every penny!"

Who These Are For

You show up, I’ll take it from there.

You’ll be gently guided the whole time — with prompts that bring out real smiles, real connection, and those little in-between moments you’ll want to remember forever.

This isn’t about perfection.


It’s about honest, beautiful, true.

Up to 6 people (immediate family). Mom + kids is always welcome.

 

 


Think soft, neutral, timeless tones. Creams, tans, light denim, muted pastels, and simple textures photograph beautifully in studio light. Avoid neon, heavy logos, and busy patterns.

 

 

You’re in good hands. I’ll guide you with prompts that keep things moving, and we’ll focus on connection over perfection. Some of the sweetest images come from the real moments.
