I loved my experience with Christy. It was easy, she's flexible and made me feel comfortable and most of all was a joy to share time with. Thank YOU!

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!  

It's Easy Peasy!
