Christina is a professional, plain and simple. It's hard to hand somebody your newborn and instantly feel comfortable. Christina was very friendly but also had a professional and calming demeanor from the get go. She handled our daughter like her own - she was caring, careful, and in control. She did an amazing job.

The entire process from first contact, picking a spot, flexibility in date of shoot (cloudy on the first time we picked so we moved it) and patience while conducting the photoshoot was incredible. We are excited to do our newborn pictures when the baby arrives!

Tina is so easy to work with and creates such beautiful photos, we cannot recommend her enough. She understands the demands of new families and was so willing to pause the session in order to feed or change a newborn. She was so flexible, efficient, and very responsive. Thank you so much, Tina!
We had the absolute BEST experience with Christina for our newborn photos, and I truly cannot recommend her enough! ❤️ She captured the most beautiful photos of our daughter, as well as such precious moments of our little family together. These are memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
From the moment we arrived, Christina was incredible. She handled our daughter with so much care, patience, and gentleness, which meant everything to us as new parents. You can tell how passionate she is about what she does, and it shows in every single photo. She captured our little girl so beautifully, along with the love and connection my husband and I share with her. Looking through our gallery brought happy tears to my eyes because she captured moments we will never get back, but will now have forever. 🥹🤍
Her studio in downtown Puyallup is absolutely stunning, with gorgeous lighting and such a beautiful atmosphere. Every detail made the experience feel special, comfortable, and worth every moment.
If you are debating whether to book newborn photos, PLEASE do it! Your baby is only this tiny for such a short time, and it is truly unbelievable how quickly they change and grow. In the middle of the sleepless nights, feedings, and adjusting to life as new parents, it can be easy to forget just how fleeting these early days are. Having these memories captured professionally is something I know we will be grateful for forever. These photos aren’t just pictures; they’re a way to hold on to a little piece of a season of life that passes far too quickly.
Christina, thank you for capturing our daughter and our family so beautifully. We are beyond grateful for these memories and will treasure them for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a newborn photographer who is talented, caring, professional, and truly passionate about capturing these precious moments, Christina is your girl! 🤍✨

If you are looking for a great maternity photographer, check Tina out! We had such a lovely time during the shoot (coming from a very awkward person who doesn’t like having their picture taken). Tina made sure that my vision was executed as well as having a wonderful eye for additional poses. It was our first time having professional photos done and the results speak for themselves. We are already looking forward to having family photos done in the future!

Christina is amazing. Our whole family loves her. She photographed for our maternity and newborn shoots. They were both fantastic. She even helped us get boiling water for our formula since our baby decided to be extra hungry during his shoot. I can't wait to get more photos of our family done by her.
