Raw, emotional,

melt-your-heart moments

Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, every child is unique. Soon their personality will start to show, they’ll be talking and walking in no time, and before you know it they’ll have grown up in the blink of an eye. But for now, cherish this special time with your baby.

Your baby’s life is just beginning. Never forget the start of their journey.

Newborn portraits might seem impossible—you never know what a baby will do, right? But with a little trust, a lot of patience, and tender care, your newborn portraits will be filled with rosy cheeks, little tiny fingers, and irresistible smiles that’ll make you fall in love with your baby all over again.

"Christina is AMAZING!!! I wanted to do family pictures when my son turned one, and my husband reluctantly went along with it. When the time came for the session, Christina made it so easy and fun. My son, being a normal one year old boy, wanted to move all over and do his own thing. My husband wanted to hurry up and finish taking pictures. Christina was incredibly tolerant and accommodating, and the results were amazing - beautiful, real pictures that perfectly capture our life in SF. Even my husband admitted it was totally worthwhile and was so glad we did it!

We absolutely love our pictures, and will absolutely hire Christina again for another session with our family!" - Nikki

Once I receive your contact information we’ll plan to hop on the phone and discuss your upcoming newborn photo session. If this is your first time, don’t worry! I’m here to answer any questions or address concerns you might have about the process. We’ll talk packages, rates, location ideas, and all things baby to make sure you’re comfortable and confident moving forward.

2. I’ll Send You A Booking Agreement

If you’re ready to move forward I’ll send you an electronic booking agreement to sign. This contract, plus a Booking Fee that’s due when we schedule your newborn portrait session, will hold your place on my calendar.

3. Let’s Take Some Photos

I’ll arrive at our photo session location (most likely your home or someplace cozy and private) for a 60-minute newborn session. We want your photos to be natural and candid, and I’ll walk you through the day every step of the way to make sure you and your baby have a great experience.

4. Your Adorable Newborn Portraits Are Ready

I’ll send you your live newborn portrait gallery no later than 2 weeks after our photo session. I’m more than happy to suggest digital prints, albums, or wall art to display your photos. Keep in mind the prints, albums, and wall art will be sold separately from the booking fee for your session.

More About Me

I bring so much more than a camera to your session. I show up with a passion for seeing the things you might be too busy to see at the moment; the incredible love your family shares as it grows. Those little fingers and toes, the way your child feels when she falls asleep on your shoulder and the joy you take in sharing this experience with your partner.

 

When you work with me, Christina, for your newborn photos, you’re getting a lifelong, professional in my field (not just a photography enthusiast) dedicated to providing families with meaningful portraits of the most special time in their lives - becoming parents and being part of a family.
