📸 Pay What You Can Sessions 🎉

Hey everyone!

As we approach the holidays, I want to give back to our fantastic community that has supported me throughout my photography journey. 📷✨

I’m excited to announce that I’m offering a special opportunity:

1 Full Length Photography Session & 5 Mini Sessions — Pay What You Can!

Whether you want to capture family memories, celebrate a special moment, or just want some stunning photos, this is your chance to work with me at a price that feels right for you! I know that times are tight for many of us right now, so this is my way of extending my services to those that may not normally be able to book a session with me.

Details:
🌟 Storytelling Session – This is a full length session with a choice of beautiful locations. You will also receive the entire gallery, artistically edited, that tells the story of your family’s connection and love for each other.

✨ Mini Sessions Magic – Dive into 30 minutes of pure photography fun! Perfect for refreshing your family portraits, capturing those senior moments, celebrating kids' milestones, sealing your love with engagement shots, or even nailing that business headshot! And guess what? You’ll receive your entire gallery of images—something rare for mini sessions! 📸🌟

🗓️ Sessions can be booked for any date within the next 6 months, giving you plenty of options for when you'd like to shoot—just let me know what works for you!

💰 Payment: To secure your spot, sessions must be paid for in full at the time of booking. This enables me to offer this initiative to more members of our community.

This is not just about my work; it’s about creating art that matters and celebrating YOU! So let’s make some beautiful memories together.

📩 DM me or comment below to book your session and share this promotion with friends who might be interested!

Much love,
Cristen

P.S. If you’re not sure what to offer DM me and I will give you a breakdown of my normal pricing, however keep in mind that there’s no right or wrong offer. These sessions are done with a level of trust and I trust that whatever is offered is what you can afford to pay. I truly want to bless some people in our community so please don’t be afraid to reach out if you’re feeling like you can’t pay as much as you would want to, that’s the whole point of these sessions. ☺️

Also! 👀 check out the session I delivered this week of the adorable Booth family.

I have so much love for this session from last spring. My favorite time for sessions is now to mid June. Lush green, wildflowers and mild weather makes for the best golden hour sessions in my portfolio. What is your favorite time for photos?

Senior session with the lovely and talented Hannah. Downtown Ashland is my favorite urban backdrop for senior photos, there are so many spots that every session is so different.

A few of my favorites from the session using my tilt shift lens. This lens has quite the learning curve but I enjoy a challenge. It keeps me interested and always striving to be creative in new ways.

It’s been way too long since I blogged last. I figured I should probably get back to doing that so here’s a senior session that I did a couple months ago. I have so many shoots that I haven’t shared with you all and I plan to change that!

I met Mason and his dad in downtown Medford OR for this fun Senior Portrait session. I encourage high school seniors to incorporate their interests into the session. Mason brought his football jersey and we went to the top of the parking garage for the first part of the session. We grabbed a few mor...
