Your slice of life and all the seasons you go through is worth a pause to capture and save for the now and forever. I don't say this lightly when I say that it is truly an honor to be entrusted with my families and brands. There's an adventure to be had with you and your sweeties; this could be at home making pancakes or riding bikes down a country road at sunset. The investment in slowing down to beautifully freeze your moments is very special and more than just a photo session. I am here to support you to capture not the perfect moment, but to tell your story to last a lifetime.
"She photographed our family on an unexpectedly rainy, PNW autumn day and through foliage, mud, and kiddo meltdowns put us at ease and kept us positive with her calm, kind energy. She was professional and communicative throughout the whole process, with a quick turnover. And what photos! Christy's artistic eye really shone through in the nuanced expressions and moments she captured. Beautiful, silly, a bit moody, often unexpected, with a few truly cinematic photos thrown in for good measure, they perfectly encapsulated the dynamics of our family in a unique way that we will forever treasure."
"I can’t even capture myself decently in a selfie. It’s been pointed out to me that I get awkward, I change, I look less myself when I know I’m being photographed. But Christy put me at ease. I didn’t want a “classic” headshot for my Realtor headshot. I love so many shots from my session with her. She captured everything I had hoped for and more."
"I hesitated getting family photos because they usually feel cheesy to me. Absolutely not the case with Christy. No awkward forced poses here. She was so relaxed and natural that her demeanor let us feel free to be ourselves. And being a mother herself she was great at engaging our toddler. We have some amazing shots from our maternity, family, and newborn photo sessions. I will forever cherish these photos from such a tender time."
Your full, authentic self is always welcome here. Your session should feel wild and free - like you’re out on a date or with your family, and someone just happens to be there to capture everything. No awkward poses, just you and your love in the moment with a little help from my artistic documentation and the landscape around us.
The most important part of styling for a photo session is to not stray too far from your own personal style. Choose pieces and outfits that vary in texture, doesn't have too many patterns, no logos or words, choose colors that fit the season of your session and the location, and last but not least, choose outfits that you and everyone feels comfortable and confident in. I'm here to help!
