I waited too long (few days before my delivery) to get my maternity shoot done and boy I didn't even want to go the day of. My toddler was extra cranky that day, I felt big and sweaty the entire time. Christy was like bright sunshine that day in negative degree snowy weather, so patient and perceptive. She was so sweet and gentle with my girl, fixed my hair and offered us breaks and water. She even showed our dog extra love. She has a kind and warm personality which pregnant ladies and families with kids need on stressful days!! She never got frustrated with us.I think she has years of working with families with small children and it shows! Anyways, I left the studio feeling like maybe we will be lucky to get one or two good ones atleast. But oh no!! Christy worked her magic and she captured so many tender and beautiful moments I couldn't pick a few!! I purchased all the photos in the album they were so amazing! We will cherish these for years to come thank you Christy!! Looking forward to our newborn session and many more family, kids, holiday sessions with you in the future. Thank you

My family went to see Santa yesterday with Happy Chick photography and it was truly a magical experience. My kids thought they finally met the "real Santa!" He was so amazing with the kids and gave them adorable little gifts. We will be back next year!

Christy has been doing our family pictures for over 15 years. She is a miracle worker, and always seems to get the cutest pictures, even when we feel like there was no way anything could be used. Additionally, she remains unfazed by our kids' antics. I would highly recommend Happy Chick Photography.
Hi, I'm Christy Lonergan,
the Happy Chick!
The beauty of my work lies in the heartfelt connections I create with families like yours. From tender moments shared between parents and children to the love among siblings, every portrait I take tells a unique story. Life's most precious memories deserve to be preserved, and I consider it an honor to capture these moments, leaving you with treasured images that will forever hold the essence of your family's love and joy.
Are you overdue on capturing your family photos or do you have an upcoming milestone such as a baby on the way, or a teen getting ready to graduate high school?
I've got all your photography needs covered!
FAQ
What if I'm not happy with the way I currently look?
We hear this all the time and you're not alone! But here's the truth . . . your kids don't see "flaws", they see mom. Years from now, they'll treasure the way you hold them, smiled at them, loved them -- just as you are right now. My job is to pose you naturally and use flattering angles so you feel confident and beautiful.
What if I have trouble figuring out the details?
We realize it's stressful to get everything coordinated and everyone ready! But you don't have to do it alone. We'll guide you through styling, prep tips, and how to keep things easy going for the kids (and grown ups too)! Sessions are relaxed and fun -- we capture real moments, not perfection.
How do I fit this into our crazy busy schedule?
We get it -- life is BUSY! My goal is to take just enough of your time to get you beautiful images. The phone pre-consultation means I'll be setup and ready when you arrive. Plus, we offer flexible scheduling, including Saturday sessions when possible so things don't have to feel so rushed.
What if my partner doesn't want to do this?
This is totally normal! I hear hubbies say all the time, "that wasn't so bad!" I keep things relaxed, fast-paced and stress free.
Isn't this kind of expensive?
Professional photography is an investment -- but one with lasting value. These aren't just pictures, they're heirlooms that your children and grandchildren will cherish. We offer a range of packages to fit different budgets and make it worth every penny.
What if the kids don't cooperate?
No worries -- I'm a pro at working with wiggly, wild, or shy little ones. I've learned many tricks over the years. We play, we laugh, and we follow their lead. Some of the best photos come from unplanned moments!
