My favorite sessions are the ones full of REAL LIFE.

The kids refused their nap at home and fell asleep in the car, only to wake up grumpy as you pulled in to the shoot, right? You had an INSANE day at work and you're lucky to have run a brush through your hair and checked to make sure everyone was wearing shoes before you ran out out of the house. You show up with your sanity barely intact and wonder how on earth there will be any cute photos today.

You might be surprised how common this is. WE ARE ALL HUMAN, my friend, with good and hard days, full schedules, frizzy hair, crazy kids, and a life that sometimes feels like it is teetering on the brink of disaster.

 

DON'T WORRY. I've been there - actually, I may show up to our shoot with my hair pulled up out of my face because it's super annoying today, limping from a rough day of knee or ankle pain, with a big cold brew coffee in hand - because, SURVIVAL.

 

But rest assured, I'm excited and grateful to spend time with you. We'll take it slow if we need to. We'll let the kids run around and spend some energy as we explore our location. We'll chat and laugh and catch up. I will make sure your hair looks great before we shoot, I PROMISE. A quick "zhuzh" after we change scenes at our location always helps!

Have you seen my work?

It's full of beautiful, normal human beings. You might never guess that they often show up frazzled, but end up having a relaxed and fun time. They go home happy.

 

I'm not looking for perfection. Just real life, real laughs that bring out sweet moments with your loved ones.

Hi friend!

I'm Christy, your

WESTERVILLE OHIO FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

"She handled my high energy son so well and I can’t believe she was able to get so many great shots of him amidst the insanity!

We relocated from out of state and were so lucky to find Christy. She ran everything smoothly and the photos came out fabulous!

 

We’re already looking forward to the next shoot!"

ALBUMS

It’s thrilling to see your photos come to life in an heirloom you can hold in your hands and treasure forever. There are several album options for you to choose from. Albums can be added to any of my packages as an add-on item and the process is super easy. I'll design the album for you! Before it goes to print, you'll have the chance to look it over, make any changes you like, and approve it - I'll take care of all the rest.

Every album I offer has a lay-flat binding style with thick luxurious pages. Covers are leather or linen and flush mounted. Books are press printed and have the option for custom designed printed covers. I really think you have to see them and touch them to truly understand how amazing they are and why I love them! Shoot me a message and let’s meet for coffee so I can show you in person! Investment starts at $300.

I'd love to chat more!
