Listen up. . .
You cannot put your life on hold.
You can’t press the pause button.
It’s happening now. It’s happening here.
It’s happening with the people you are with.
If you want to be present in the moment and still have the pictures for tomorrow, you need someone to make the pictures today.
Beautiful Art, Part of the Journey
"Christine always manages to capture the essence of the moments and turn regular life into beautiful art. She has become a regular and frequent visitor in our lives and we love that she has been part of our family’s journey."

Ok, now what do I DO with these pictures?
Glad you asked. You’ll receive access to the downloadable digital files of your images throughout the year. If there are some photos you want to put immediately on your wall or send to Aunt Jane as a gift you’ll have the option to order prints and products whenever through an online store. At the end of our time together, we’ll have a get together where you’ll view your slideshow and then decide if you’d like to build an heirloom family album, create a gallery wall, or order gift prints for friends and relatives. I come with a tape measure, lots of samples, my experience with design, and excitement to get the photos we’ve created together in a place where they can be viewed and appreciated by your family. Sometimes I bring pastries too.

FAQs
Does the first session have to be in January or on my child’s birthday?
Absolutely not. We can start any time during the year.
Do I pay for my package all at once?
That’s up to you. Since everything is a subscription these days, I offer no-interest payment plans that include a deposit and monthly payments.
What’s your scheduling policy?
Schedule your session at least 2 weeks in advance. Unless, there is a true emergency, rescheduling must be done at least 2 days in advance.
Oops, I forgot to reschedule in time.
Do not panic. If you miss a session you can add an extra hour to your next session. This must happen at your very next session. Use it or lose it, they say.
What if my kid is sick?
Depending on situation and your preference I can still photograph a “sick day.” It’s all part of parenthood, right? If that’s completely uncomfortable, you can absolutely reschedule up to 2 days in advance or add an hour to your next session.
