Welcome, friends!
Yes, I do all the “big” sessions like seniors, families, and engagements, but I also love the little milestones too like a 1 year birthday cake smash, dating and marriage anniversaries, proposals, pregnancy announcements, the birth of a new baby, maternity, and more!
Photos are meant to help freeze time so that you can keep and relive memories for years to come, and that goes for just about everything! We all practically have cameras in our back pocket these days for that reason. So if you think you have a reason to have a professional photographer to capture a not-so-common memory that’s super special to you, let’s chat!!
I’m Christine and I believe that photography is for both the big AND little moments in life!

"My boyfriend and I got pictures taken by Christine for our one year anniversary and have nothing but good things to say! Our pictures were absolutely beautiful and she had so many fun pose ideas that got us both laughing! Neither of us have had many pictures taken but she made us feel so comfortable and made great suggestions to get the most beautiful pictures! I would highly recommend Christine Danae Photography!"

"Christine was AMAZING!! She made my dreams come true at the last minute! She did my daughters smash cake pictures for her first birthday and they are my favorite pictures ever! She was so sweet and professional. I will always cherish the pictures she took that day❤ 10/10 would recommend her to take your pictures!"

"I cannot recommend Christine Danae Photography enough! Christine has taken our engagement pictures, wedding pictures, and now our maternity pictures! She is such a joy to work with and always makes my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera! She makes getting pictures taken so enjoyable and fun that before you know it, your session is over! She is our go to photographer! Christine is such a sweetheart and we’re so thankful to not only have her in our lives as our amazing photographer, but as a great friend!"

investment
While I may not have super specific set packages for these “other” milestone and random photo sessions, a general investment you can expect is:
1 hour of pictures for $250 - *If this number doesn’t quite fit the bill, please still send me a message and we can chat about it! If it still doesn’t work out, I can always refer you to another trusted photographer and agree that we’ve both made a new friend in the process!
things to note
· A minimum of $25 deposit required to book
· Check, cash, Venmo, PayPal, and credit/debit are all accepted
· Full payment due no later than time of photo session
· 2 week turnaround time
· I have a bright and airy style, so if you want dark and moody, I’m not your gal, but I could be helpful in recommending some great dark and moody photographers if you want!
There’s a time and a place for pictures on a cell phone camera (trust me, my phone is LOADED with them LOL and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them!), but there is also a huge difference in quality when it comes to pictures taken on a DSLR (aka what I use 😉). So if you’re thinking about splurging on anything for your particular “not-so-common” event, I highly recommend doing so on good photos! They are the ONLY thing that last forever – besides Jesus and his love anyways, but that’s not the point – and the ONLY thing that will allow you to cherish memories long after they’re gone.
Don’t be fooled, even the “Not-so-common” photo opportunities need to be documented just as much as the “Normal” ones do.
So whether you are just wanting some cute couple photos of you and your significant other, you’re wanting photos to commemorate graduating from med school, your child is turning 1 and you want to document them getting their entire body covered in cake, or you just found out you’re pregnant with your 1st (or 5th 😉) baby and you want to share the big news with more than just some iPhone pictures, just consider me your biggest cheerleader! I would be honored to be a part of such a big moment for you!
Thank you!
