the Vision
The years fly by, but photographs let us hold onto the little things we'll never want to forget: tiny toes, belly laughs, big hugs, and all the small, fleeting moments that define your family.
My goal is to create honest, meaningful images that preserve not only what your family looked like, but what this season of your life genuinely felt like.
the Experience
The most meaningful photographs come from real connection, not forced poses or cheesy smiles. I’ll gently guide you, help you feel comfortable, and capture the natural interactions that make your family yours. There will be traditional portraits, too, but there will also be movement, laughter, snuggles, and plenty of room for kids to be kids.
YOU’RE in the RIGHT PLACE
If you're looking for:
Photographs that feel like your family, not a collection of stiff poses
Photos that capture genuine connection, personality, and the wonderfully imperfect parts of this season
A space where your kids can be themselves and be silly
A handful of traditional family photographs but all the real moments captured in between
— Looks like you found the one.
Christina took beautiful and organic photos of my family —
that we will treasure for a lifetime
Christina is both warm and professional, she made us comfortable by providing direction while also encouraging us to be ourselves. I can feel awkward in front of a camera, but I really had fun, and I think a big part of that is the environment Christina creates.

You don’t have to know what to do in front of the camera.
You don’t need perfectly behaved children, a spotless home, or a family that naturally knows how to pose. That's what I'm here for. I’ll give you tips on what to wear, help you choose the right location and time of day, and gently guide you throughout your session.
The result is a gallery filled with genuine moments, traditional portraits, and the beautiful, funny, honest ways your family loves one another.

Frequently asked questions
What if my children don’t cooperate?
I am a firm believer in prepping children before the session and giving them room to warm up. We'll work together to bring out some giggles and smiles and if we need to run around and get some energy out? We will!
ARE YOU WILLING TO TRAVEL?
Yes, I'm based in Lenox and there is a small travel fee for sessions that are 30 minutes or more from 01240.
What happens if it rains or someone gets sick?
The weather in Western MA can be unpredictable and sometimes a misty session can be beautiful! But if that's not your thing, we'll work together to reschedule your session. Same with any illness.
Where will our session take place?
Sessions can take place at your home, your AirBNB, or an outdoor location. We'll decide this together based on your vision.
What should we wear?
I include a style guide with all of my sessions that includes tips on what to wear, how to coordinate your family, some example color palettes, and tips on preparing kids.
When should we book maternity or newborn photographs?
Maternity sessions should be booked in advance, ideally between 32-34 weeks of pregnancy. Newborn sessions can be booked at any time in the first 12 weeks. Those sleepy snuggly days usually only last the first few weeks. But it's more important that you and your family feel ready to welcome me into your home for an hour or so.
Tell me what you’re planning, where it’s taking place, and what you’d like photographed. I’ll confirm availability and help you choose the coverage that makes the most sense.
