Westerville Ohio Family Photographer

Fun. Relaxed. Real. Like spending time with old friends.

Can a photo shoot truly be all these things?

YES!!

I'm here for more than just a snapshot. I want to preserve your family's story in a positive, enjoyable way. The unique, raw, beautiful moments that make it

yours.

hi, I'm Christy!

After 14 years in business, I've discovered how to make family and senior photography sessions fun, rewarding experiences. From easy online booking, help with outfits and colors, and a session tailored to your unique vibe, I’ve got you covered! All you have to do is show up and enjoy a leisurely walk through a beautiful location.

I've lived in Westerville for nearly 20 years and photographed families and seniors all over the state.

I'd love to chat with you!

"Simply the best! Christy is not only a talented photographer, she is A wonderful human.

She has captured the best family & individual pictures of our family over the years. She is super organized with email reminders, provides outfit ideas, has a positive attitude & is willing to think outside the box.

 

I recommend Christy wholeheartedly and always look forward to working with her!

Why work with me?

"Christy and Sarah are so amazing to work with- they treat you like you’re old friends they’ve known forever, and they make everyone so comfortable in front of the camera.

They take the time to get to know each client, and they take a genuine interest in this relationship so that they may best capture each session and person/family. We can tell they’re always trying to think of all the best possible options for the session and not just rush us out. They’re fun, professional, and talented. Christy’s communications are always incredibly thoughtful, kind, helpful, and prompt. And the final product.…she’s helped us to capture precious, fleeting moments of our growing children in the most beautiful way.

 

We are thankful she has chosen this work to share her talents and skills with us, and we would recommend her to anyone!"

"Christy was beyond amazing to work and communicate with.

She took her time, worked amazingly with my kids and even gave our stubborn/anxious kiddo more time to get comfortable. Her turn around time on editing and delivering our gallery was incredible.


I now can’t wait to have more photos sessions with her!
Thank you again Christy!"

 

-Nick

"Christy is amazing!

Not only does she take fantastic photos, but she is kind, patient, and goes above and beyond to accommodate any needs.

 

I’m thrilled with her work!"

 

-Heather

"Christy is such a genuine person & gifted photographer. She made photographing four generations effortless & enjoyable.

The photos are amazing, but honestly, without the ease & enjoyment of Christy's presence, we would not treasure the photos nearly as much.

 

Such a sweet experience all the way around!"

Starting the year off right!!! Full of warmth, love, and beauty. I absolutely adored catching up with this gorgeous family - I love it when schedules align, the location is perfect, and the session is magical. Thanks @kimebbeskotte for a wonderful session - it was so good to see you all! I can hardly believe your kiddos (and mine) are basically adults! 😭🥰✨

Anyone else pining for the beach today? The sun is shining here in Ohio, so I’m super thankful! But I can’t help but wish I was under the same sun on our favorite beach down on Florida’s panhandle. A few short months and we’ll be there. I LOVED capturing some of my daughter Audrey’s senior photos on “our” beach. Our happy place. 

What’s your favorite vacation spot to escape to?! Comment below - I want to know!!!
