Right here. Right now. Before they change again.
Picture day doesn't have to mean forced smiles, rushed expressions, and one chance to get a photograph everyone loves.
I photograph each child several different ways, giving them room to relax, move, laugh, and be themselves.
Every child receives a small gallery of approximately 3–8 photographs, so families can choose the image — or images — that feel most like their child.
MORE THAN ONE PHOTO. MORE OF WHO THEY ARE.
BECAUSE WHO THEY ARE IS THE WHOLE POINT.
For the ones who make picture day happen.
You already have enough on your plate. Picture day should feel like one less thing to worry about — not another production to manage.
I work with your school to create a picture day that fits your schedule, your space, and your kids. I’ll photograph each child with patience and attention, while keeping things moving so the day works for everyone.
Families get beautiful photographs and simple online ordering. Your school gets a photographer who cares about the experience from the first child to the last.
EASY FOR YOUR SCHOOL.
BETTER FOR YOUR FAMILIES.
They don't have to know how to do picture day.
Some kids walk right up and smile. Some need a minute. Some want to move, joke around, or show you their favorite pose. And some aren't quite sure what they're supposed to do.
That's okay.
I'll meet them where they are, give them direction when they need it, and keep things relaxed enough for their personality to come through.
Because the best school portrait isn't the one where every child looks exactly the same.
IT'S THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE THEM.
MORE THAN ONE PHOTO.
MORE OF WHO THEY ARE.

WHAT EXPECT
to
1 - We Connect
We’ll talk about your school, your students, and what you want picture day to feel like. We’ll figure out what makes the most sense for your school and make sure we’re a good fit.
2 - We Make a Plan
We’ll choose a date, talk through the schedule and location, and sort out the details ahead of time. I’ll work with you to make sure picture day fits naturally into your school day.
3 - The Photo Session
This is where the fun happens. I photograph children outdoors on their own playground, where the setting feels familiar and they can relax into being themselves. I’ll give them direction when they need it and leave plenty of room for personality, movement, and those expressions you actually want to remember. Class and sibling photographs can be included, too.
4 - Families Choose
Each child receives a private online gallery of approximately 3–8 photographs. Families can choose a single digital image, purchase the full gallery, order prints, or mix and match. Every purchase includes a complimentary 5×7 class photograph.
A little something for the grown-ups too.
While I’m there, I can also photograph teachers and staff with simple, natural headshots for your school website, faculty pages, email signatures, and more.
Teacher headshots can be added to your school photography experience based on your needs.

A little less "say cheese."
A lot more being yourself.
Hi, I’m Christine.
You don’t need to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or exactly how you want every photo to look.
You just need to show up as yourself.
I’ll give you direction when you need it, make space for the ideas and details that matter to you, and leave plenty of room for the personality, movement, laughter, and in-between moments that make the photos feel like you.
Because the best senior photos shouldn’t look like somebody else’s idea of who you are.
They should look like you, right here, right now.
