Your Lake Tahoe maternity Photography
The memories we create together are so much more than digital images sitting on your computer. If there's one thing I can’t stress enough, it’s to print your family photos! Artwork should be a part of your home, if not the staple. Whether you hang your family prints on your walls or create a family album for your coffee table, it will allow your kids to understand the importance of family and genuine connection. Take the time to place artwork throughout your home so that you and future generations can view your beautiful memories.
Let's turn your maternity memories into artwork
First, don’t be shy. Send me an email through my contact page! Tell me all about your pregnancy and what your dream session entails. From there, we will chat about package options and all the amazing amenities I offer my clients, such as a complimentary client closet and breathtaking locations that fit your vision.
1. Say Hello
2. Get on my calender
Now that you are ready to make some amazing memories , I need you on my calendar! I will send you a contract along with a $250 retainer to complete the booking process. Once your documents are complete, I will also send you an email that contains photos of my client closet, my Amazon favorites, and a questionnaire to get to know your maternity photoshoot vision!
I love speaking to my clients over the phone because I enjoy connecting with them as much as possible! If you aren’t a phone person, that’s not a problem. Emails are totally fine! But if you want to schedule a call, I will get you scheduled as soon as possible! During our calls, we will discuss your pregnancy, styling, locations, and what to expect during and after your session.
3. Let's chat
Roughly a week before your scheduled photoshoot, I will be in touch to discuss any last-minute logistics. During your session, we will have a good ole’ time. I always strive to document more organic maternity moments than traditional portraits, so that’s something to get excited about!
4. BEFORE + DURING YOUR SESSION
Within 2-4 weeks from your session date, I will deliver your maternity gallery! From there, you can select a package that fits you best!
5. GALLERY DELIVERY
I’m also excited to offer a variety of prints and products through Pic-Time—the platform where you will receive your completed gallery. You can easily purchase your favorite images as prints or select from a range of beautiful products, such as canvases, albums, and more. Please note: Where you print your family imagery DOES matter! Please don’t print your family imagery from a drugstore.

I recently moved out of state and wanted to have maternity photos taken (even more so since this is my last baby) but didn’t know where to begin since I was new to the area. I found Christina online and was excited that I was able to get something booked with her. Upon meeting I had been in and out of the hospital so my responses were often delayed when talking with Christina but she was very patient and understanding. During the photoshoot she made everything so easy and comfortable. She gave great direction on what to do and how to pose all while making us all feel confident in ourselves. I really look forward to Christina capturing photos of us again soon once our baby boy arrives!

So grateful we found Christina!!! I was hesitant to do maternity photos as I have had such a hard time accepting my rapidly changing/growing body. We decided to get them done as a family, and Christina made me feel like a whole goddess. I am obsessed with the photos we received! We have a shy 6-year-old. Christina helped her come out of her shell right away with her bubbly attitude and kindness. My partner and I have never had professional photos together, with Christina we didn’t feel awkward in the slightest. Then add an excited dog that was just happy to be a part of the fun. SO happy to have Christina in the area and cannot wait to work with her again in the future!

Christina is not only an incredible photographer, she is a genuinely caring person. It was wonderful to work with her. I would recommend her to anyone! Christina took maternity photos for me and my fiancé. I had never hired a professional photographer before and was initially a bit overwhelmed by the cost. Then I recognized this investment was important to me. Christina was so generous with her time; so encouraging and wonderful at making me and my fiancé feel comfortable during the shoot. She is incredibly responsive, returning photos to me in less than a week!

Christina was absolutely wonderful to work with! She made the whole process comfortable and easy. I have never taken professional photos before, and I was a bit nervous going into it. However, she quickly calmed my nerves and gave great instructions. She made me feel like a
super model. My family and I had such a blast! I highly, highly recommend hiring Christina as your family and maternity photographer. Thank you so much for the incredible experience!

I have had my family photos taken three times with Christina, including maternity photos. She is such a joy to work with and so talented! She has helped me with outfits and photo idea boards! She is incredibly patient with kids, even with my stubborn toddler. She captures fun candid shots of the whole family and is great with giving directions for posing and making you feel comfortable. I have been so happy with my photos and always get compliments on the ones I have displayed at work or home.
