Right here. Right now. Before they change again.
The kid who never stops moving. The teenager who’s suddenly too cool for everything. The one who makes everyone laugh. The one who’d rather disappear than pose. The one who loves to pose. The one who is figuring themselves out as they go.
They don’t have to sit perfectly still or perform for the camera.
WE’LL MAKE ROOM FOR WHO THEY ARE.
I’ll give them enough direction to feel comfortable while leaving plenty of room for their personality to show up.
THIS VERSION OF THEM WON’T LAST FOREVER. LET’S REMEMBER IT.
For the ones who raised them, too.
You’ve watched them grow into exactly who they are. Let’s make sure you remember this version.
These aren’t just photographs of what they look like right now. They’re the crooked smiles, the favorite hoodie, the things they’re obsessed with, the expressions you know by heart, and all the little details that somehow become the things you miss most.
We’ll create photographs that feel like them — personality, quirks, style, and all.
Because they’re becoming someone new all the time.
LET’S REMEMBER WHO THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.
They won't always be this version of themselves.
They’re growing, changing, discovering new things, and becoming more themselves all the time.
Today it’s the gap-toothed grin. The messy hair. The favorite sweatshirt. The laugh that takes over the room.
The things they’re obsessed with — until suddenly they’re not.
These are the details you think you’ll always remember.
Until you realize how quickly they change.
Let’s make photographs that hold onto this version of them — not just what they look like, but who they are right now.
DON’T RUSH PAST THIS VERSION OF THEM.

WHAT EXPECT
to
1 - We Connect
We’ll chat and get to know each other. You’ll tell me a little about your kid or teen, what they're into, what makes them laugh, and what matters to them. We’ll make sure everyone feels comfortable - and start dreaming up something that feels like them.
2 - We Make a Plan
We’ll choose a date, find the right location, and get the details sorted. Outfits, ideas, favorite places, maybe something a little unexpected - we’ll figure it out together.
3 - The Photo Session
This is the fun part. I’ll give them direction when they need it and leave plenty of room for the laughter, movement, personality, and in-between moments that make the photos feel real.
4 - You Keep the Good Stuff
Your gallery arrives within 3 - 4 weeks. Choose your favorites, download your photographs, and order prints whenever you’d like.
Investment
Photos worth showing up for.
They’re changing all the time. Your photos should give you something to hold onto.
Kids & Teens sessions are about more than getting a great smile for the camera. They’re about capturing the personality, quirks, style, and little details that make this particular version of them so completely theirs.
Collections begin at $575 and include your session, a curated online gallery, and 15 digital images.
Choose the collection that feels right for you. If you fall in love with more, you can always upgrade.
Come as you are.
Leave with something that feels like you.
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.
