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
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!
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!
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!"
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!"
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!"
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!"

Ready to see your family's story come to life? Or simply have questions? I'm here to help!
Family photos are so special. Every single family session means SO much to me. To have the chance to freeze this moment in time for you. I know how fast my own kids have grown... I have a graduating SENIOR this year, y`all. I feel like she just entered high school, but here we are... 2 months from graduating high school.
Don`t miss these moments in front of the camera with your kids. These memories mean the world as the years go on.

I`ll forever love this senior session with Simon! We hiked all over the river bed at Highbanks Metro Park, found the best fishing spots (not really, but we faked it perfectly), enjoyed the gorgeous weather and nature. Thinking about senior photos? I`m still booking 2026 seniors (it`s not too late!) and 2027 seniors as well! I`d love to chat with you!

I had the absolute pleasure getting to know Amanda of @tobelovedphotography and capturing some updated headshots for her website. Amanda specializes in newborn and studio photography and she is fantastic! We had a blast wandering around uptown, playing frogger with the cars trying to get fun shots crossing the street, haha! Thanks for an amazing session Amanda - can`t wait to shoot with you again!!

Spring minis – two great location options! It’s almost time for warmer weather (help me out here, I know you`re just as desperate as I am to see the sun again!) and let me tell you, I’m ready. I’m also ready to wear short sleeves and take beautiful photos in green spaces with flowers and maybe… definitely… highland cows. YES. Also, baby goats, miniature donkeys, and maybe even bunnies! My first option is at Cooper`s Knoll Farm in Pataskala! My second option is at the always gorgeous Columbus Park of Roses. Two amazing options for spring mini sessions, no matter your aesthetic. Check my booking link in my bio! Hope to see you there!!

There was no shortage of gorgeous murals and interesting spots to shoot in and Rowan was so much fun!! Their artistic spirit shone through in each shot and we had a blast! Thank you for a fantastic shoot Rowan, I wish you the very best in your senior year and a beautifully creative future beyond!!

I LOVED meeting these sweet faces for the first time recently. The family was so much fun and the boys were angels. I mean, look at those adorable smiles!!!
So grateful to be able to shoot indoors at the beautiful @bechangedstudio where the cold weather wasn`t an issue.

I absolutely love our sessions with this beautiful family! I first met them in a prior extended family session and was so honored to be called upon to take Victoria`s newborn photos. Seeing how much their sweet girl has grown these past months is PRICELESS. I loved every minute of catch up time with Elizabeth and Mike!
There is something infinitely special about capturing these different stages of our kiddos lives. They will never be this age again, and each stage goes SO quickly. This rings true with my own kids continually. It`s such a joy for me to package these sessions into a figurative time capsule to look back on!

So much love for this session. Despite some roadblocks and mishaps surrounding the timing, all of it out of our control, it worked out perfectly in the end with all the family together in town for a very quick shoot - we were done in just over 30 minutes. But despite the biting cold, the crazy schedules and the eventful weekend, we captured these fun, beautiful, real moments that Martha and Jim and their wonderful family will treasure forever. These moments are what matter. The love we feel and remember when we look back at these memories with our dear ones.
