I'm Christina
Your Tahoe Family Photographer
I am a lifestyle maternity and family photographer located in the charming town of Truckee, California. I’m a dedicated mama to three beautiful babes, a devoted wife to an amazing man, and a loving friend to many.
Beautiful imagery stems from an organic, documentary, and journalistic standpoint. I focus on the connection of your family + tell your story from an emotional, raw viewpoint. Motherhood can be challenging, and often, mamas don’t get in the camera enough. I will make my mothers feel empowered, goddess-like, and fierce. It’s unbelievably important to me that I tell your family’s story just as you are. Not only do I strive to make you fall in love with your family’s art, but I also want you to print and view your cherished memories for many years to come.
Our experience together will be memorable and priceless. We will create magic and art all at the same time.
So, whats the process?
It's totally your call!
Everything I do is custom.
Simply build your own collection.
Step-by-step.
Yep, it's that simple!
FIRST, BOOK YOUR SESSION WITH A $250 retainer fee
Your $250 non-refundable retainer reserves your date and it comes off your total package cost. This fee covers my raw costs and the time going into the prep, the session itself, and the editing of your photographs. It does not include any digital photographs. That’s the next step! 🙂
THE NEXT STEP IS YOUR PORTRAIT SESSIOn...
Your portrait session will be 45-60 minutes long, and we’re going to have the best time ever! And don’t you worry – I’ll be guiding you through everything.

F.A.Q
I do not have a studio yet! It’s a big goal of mine for the future though!
Yes, choosing a collection is the way to go! I recently added four collections to accommodate several budgets! Please let me know if you have additional questions. 🙂
Maternity, Family, and couples.
I wholeheartedly believe in documenting organic raw family moments. I strive to tell your story from an honest and documentary-style perspective. While I do capture a few traditional portraits during sessions, it’s not my main focus. Please note: I typically deliver 1-5 traditional portrait images.
Absolutely! I go to the Bay Area 1-2 times a month, and I travel to several amazing destinations several times a year. Email me to discuss the details and additional travel fees! I also have travel dates on my website right here.
YES! I’m excited to offer various 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. Purchasing prints and products through Pic-Time is simple and convenient. You can browse the available options in your Pic-Time store and make your selections with just a few clicks. From there, your products will be shipped directly to you. I cannot stress enough how important it is to print and display these images in your home. Not only will they bring joy and warmth to your space, but they will also serve as a reminder of the special moments you shared as a family!
I do! I primarily have women’s dresses and maternity robes, but I do have some children’s clothes as well!
If you prefer traditional family portraits, I am happy to refer you to another local photographer who can photograph your family in a more traditional manner.
