Christina Louise Photography My family has always called me the "memory keeper", always yearning to capture the raw moments of our unconditional and crazy love behind my camera.

Not just a simple smile, but the raw emotions behind a tear jerking grin, that can only be remembered through film.

There’s something so tender about photographing a family right in the middle of becoming.

Paige + Alain, two little ones underfoot, and one more baby already so deeply loved. Just an ordinary evening at home, full of soft light, tiny routines, belly kisses, bedtime stories, and all the little moments that someday won’t feel so little.

This is the kind of maternity story I love most. Not just what your family looks like right now, but what this season feels like.

If you’ve been thinking about documenting your growing family, I’d love to be invited into your home to tell your story just as it is.

There’s something almost impossible to put into words about watching the little girl you grew up with become someone’s mama.

I’ve known Victoria through almost every version of her life, but getting to witness this one feels especially beautiful. Seeing the softness, the excitement, the way Blake looks at her, and knowing there’s already this whole little person woven into the love between them.

These two make creating feel like play. Nothing needs to be overly planned or perfected. We laugh, we let Blake do whatever ridiculous thing is inevitably going to make Victoria smile, and somewhere in between, moments like these happen.

Maybe that’s why I love these photographs so much. They feel like them. Simple, tender, a little playful, and so full of love.

And someday, their baby will get to look at these and see just how loved they were before they were ever even here.

What a beautiful little chapter this is. 🩵🧸

I think one of the strangest parts of motherhood must be how loudly the firsts arrive… and how quietly the lasts leave.

The first smile. The first word. The first steps. You watch for them, celebrate them, write down the date.

But the lasts?

The last contact nap. The last bottle. The last time they ask to be carried. The last time their tiny hand reaches for yours crossing the street.

Most of them pass like any other Friday.

You don’t know to memorize it. You don’t know to hold on a few seconds longer. You don’t know that this version of them is quietly becoming someone new right in front of you.

And maybe that’s part of what makes motherhood so achingly beautiful.

You are always meeting who they’re becoming…

while quietly saying goodbye to who they were.

🤍

Take the photos. Especially on the ordinary days.

Because someday, the things that felt the smallest might be the things you’d give anything to remember.

Six months of Abigail. 🤍

There is something so incredibly special about getting to watch a family’s story unfold through my lens. From waiting for her in her mama’s belly, to those tiny newborn days, and now somehow… six months of this sweet girl.

And six months might just be one of my favorite chapters to photograph. The gummy smiles and belly laughs. The tiny toes they’re constantly trying to grab. The wide-eyed curiosity over absolutely everything. Those squishy cheeks, the little rolls, and the way they light up the second they recognize mama or dad. It’s such a fleeting little in-between season, and there is so much magic tucked inside of it.

For Abigail’s six-month session, we captured this chapter in the sweetest, most timeless way. A vintage pram, a beautiful evening, and a family whose love for one another seems to spill into every single frame.

Getting to document these milestones is something I’ll never take for granted. Watching Abigail grow, and watching Sarah and Tyler grow right alongside her, has been such a beautiful reminder that these photographs become more than photographs.

They become little pieces of a story you get to keep forever.

And today, this sweet girl is officially six months old. Happy half birthday, Abigail. You are so, so loved.

There are clients you photograph… and then there are the ones who somehow become family along the way.

I’ve been photographing Zoe and her sweet little family since Freya was still tucked inside her belly. I’ve watched them step into parenthood, watched that tiny baby grow through every little milestone, and had the privilege of preserving so many chapters of their story over the last two years.

And somewhere between maternity photos, newborn snuggles, first birthdays, fairy gardens, and all the ordinary magic in between… they stopped feeling like clients and started feeling like chosen family.

Now here we are again.

Only this time, it’s baby brother’s turn. 🥹

Another little life to wait for. Another newborn to meet. Another first year filled with tiny milestones and fleeting seasons. And I get to be here for it all over again.

There is something so incredibly special about being invited back into a family’s story, year after year. To watch their babies grow, to watch their family change and expand, and to know that the photographs we’ve created together are becoming part of their family history.

Zoe, Kevin & Freya, I love you guys endlessly. And baby boy, you have absolutely no idea how loved you already are.

I can’t wait to watch your story unfold, too. 🤍🌿✨

There is so much about the newborn days that you swear you’ll never forget.

The button nose. The impossibly tiny lashes. The peach fuzz on their shoulders. The way their whole hand wraps around one of your fingers. The little stretches, sleepy smiles, milk-drunk snuggles, and the way they somehow fit perfectly against your chest.

And then, somehow, they grow.

This season has been an especially tender one for me.

Over the last year, I’ve had the privilege of watching several of my closest friends step into motherhood. I’ve photographed growing bellies, waited anxiously for “she’s here” texts, walked into homes still wrapped in that hazy newborn bubble, and watched women I’ve known and loved for years become mothers right in front of me.

And then I met Charlotte Elizabeth. 🦋

One afternoon, not long after she was born, I got to just sit there and hold her for a while.

And something about that tiny girl sleeping in my arms cracked me wide open.

I realized how beautiful this chapter of my own life is, too.

I may not be a mama yet, but right now I get to be part of the village. I get to love my friends through pregnancy and postpartum. I get to hold their babies when they need two free hands. I get to watch these tiny humans grow up and be another person in their corner who has loved them from the very beginning.

And maybe one day, when they’re bigger, they’ll ask me what they were like when they were this small.

And I’ll get to tell them.

But even better… I’ll get to show them.

The fuzzy shoulders. The tiny toes. The way their mama looked at them. The way their daddy held them. The home they first came home to. All the little details that felt so ordinary in the moment, but became priceless with time.

Maybe that’s why photographing motherhood feels even more sacred to me lately.

Because I’m witnessing firsthand just how much happens in these quiet chapters. How much a woman changes. How quickly a baby grows. How deeply a family is being born alongside them.

And all of it deserves to be remembered.

If you’re expecting, don’t wait until they’re here to decide whether these moments are worth documenting.

They are. 🤍

I don’t think mothers want a do-over because they got it wrong.
I think sometimes they just wish they could go back knowing what they know now.

Knowing that the nights that felt endless would end.

That the tiny body curled against their chest would get heavier.

That one day they’d pick up that newborn onesie and wonder how their baby was ever small enough to fit inside it.

Maybe they’d spend less time wondering if they were doing everything right.

Maybe they’d stare a little longer.

Hold them a little closer.

Memorize the weight of them sleeping on their chest, the milk-drunk face, the flaky little toes, the way their entire hand wrapped around one finger.

Because in those first weeks, you’re not thinking about missing it yet.

You’re healing.
You’re learning.
You’re exhausted.
You’re meeting an entirely new version of yourself while simultaneously getting to know this tiny person you somehow already love more than anything.

And then, almost cruelly, you blink.

The bassinet is empty.
The newborn clothes are packed away.
Their legs don’t curl into your belly the same way anymore.

And suddenly you would give anything for just one ordinary Tuesday back.

Not to change it.

Just to feel it again.

Maybe that’s part of why I feel so deeply about photographing these first days.

Because I can’t give you the do-over.

I can’t make them tiny again.

But I can give you somewhere to return to.

The way they fit against your chest.
The way your partner looked at them.
The home you brought them into.
The tired eyes and messy sheets and tiny fingers and all the beautiful evidence that, once upon a time, they were this little… and you were this new.

Photograph the beginning.

Someday, these images may be the closest thing you have to going back. 🤍

There are some sessions that feel like work…

And then there are the ones where I have to stop for a second because life suddenly feels so full circle.

Lately, I’ve had the honor of photographing so many dear friends as they prepare to meet their little ones. Women I’ve laughed with, grown up with, and walked through different seasons of life alongside. Watching them become mothers has been one of the greatest privileges I could ever ask for.

This one feels especially close to my heart.

I’ve known Laura since we were kids, riding our bikes around the neighborhood without a care in the world. Somehow, in what feels like the blink of an eye, here she is… building a beautiful life with the love of her life and stepping into motherhood.

Motherhood asks so much of women. It stretches them, humbles them, changes them in ways no one can fully prepare for. And watching my friends step into that role with so much strength, grace, and love leaves me in complete awe every single time.

One of my favorite parts of this job isn’t just documenting these milestones. It’s the relationships that grow alongside them. I get to love these mamas, then watch their babies grow, year after year. It truly takes a village to raise a child, and I don’t take it lightly that so many families have welcomed me into theirs.

“Auntie” has become one of my favorite titles, and I wear it with so much gratitude.

Laura and Adam, I have so much love for you both. Watching your family grow has been one of the sweetest full-circle moments, and your little one is already surrounded by so much love. Thank you for letting me be a tiny part of your village.
