Love Notes
I am so amazingly grateful to God, who has gifted Christina Baltazar with such invaluable gifts, creativity, and depth, patience, and the ability to look beyond the photo, and into the hearts and souls of the people who she photographs. She captures that moment and memorializes it in the work that she does. It’s so much more than a photo. It’s customized ART! ~ Ann Marie
Here at my most vulnerable & fragile moment in this pregnancy journey, Christina made me feel extremely beautiful and empowered. She captured the essence of what the human body can do, the alchemy of creating and holding life within me while encouraging me to feel sexy which is a feeling all women should feel during pregnancy. ~ Sophia
We just love Christina’s work. She did an amazing job with our maternity and newborn session. We most definitely be booking with her again in the future. ~ Maira & Orlando
Everything turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined. ~ Ruth

Meet Christina
As a child, the only portraits Christina had of herself were the awkward school portraits every year. Our family was never displayed on the walls of our home. It wasn't for lack of love, just that her single mother was too busy working multiple jobs and caring for five children...and before she knew it, Christina was off to college and married and starting a family of her own.
Christina's mission as a photographer became clear over a decade ago. To help her clients preserve their precious memories of their children & families and to celebrate every stage of a child's life and decorate her clients' homes with beautiful custom artwork of what is most important - FAMILY. Artwork that matters.
No matter what stage your child is in, there is no wrong time to have him or her photographed. We invite you to set up a time to meet with us for a portrait consultation to see how to create heirloom artwork for you and your family to enjoy.

FAQ
How far in advance do I have to book a newborn session?
It's best to book your newborn portrait session as soon as possible to ensure availability. Ideally, we recommend booking your session in your second trimester of pregnancy to guarantee a spot on our calendar. However, we understand that life can be unpredictable, and we do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us regardless of how far along you are in your pregnancy or if your baby has already arrived. We will do our best to fit you in and create beautiful memories of your little one.
How old should my baby be for newborn portraits?
Newborn portraits are usually done within the first 14 days of life when babies are still very sleepy and able to curl up into those cute poses. This allows us to capture those beautiful, squishy newborn details that you will cherish for a lifetime. After the first two weeks, babies tend to become more alert and less likely to stay in those posed positions, which can make it more difficult to capture those precious images.
Do I need to buy any newborn props/outfits for my baby's newborn session?
Great question! You do not need to buy any newborn props or outfits for your baby's newborn session. I provide a variety of props, wraps, and accessories to use during the session. However, if there are any specific items or outfits that you would like to incorporate into the session, please let me know in advance so that we can discuss incorporating them.
Can my husband and kids be in the newborn portraits?
Absolutely! Including family members in your newborn portraits can make for even more precious and memorable photos. Please let me know beforehand so I can plan accordingly and make sure everyone is comfortable and prepared for the session.
Do you provide hair & makeup for Mom at the newborn portrait sessions?
Hair & makeup is an optional add-on for maternity & newborn portrait sessions on weekdays only. We include this add-on for a discounted rate of $100 ($150 value).
Do you offer payment plans?
We understand that there are a lot of expenses that come with having a new baby, so we offer interest-free in-house payment plans for up to 6 months, or payments with AfterPay.
How much is a newborn session?
At booking, we require a session fee to reserve the date which covers the 2-4 hour session in our studio, the use of props and the artistic editing of images. At the ordering appointment 2-4 weeks after the session, you get to see your portraits for the first time, choose your favorite ones and purchase a package based on that. As a luxury photography studio, our packages include high-end, museum-grade products, like albums, canvases, and acrylic canvases, as well as digital images. For specific pricing please give us a call or submit the form below.
Do you retouch the images?
Much of our retouching is when we use Photoshop to create composite images that we can’t create naturally. For example, we digitally copy baby from a simple beanbag pose to a beautiful nest. Also, a newborn’s head should never be unsupported, so Christina, or a parent will be instructed on how to, gently hold up the baby’s head and the hands are removed later using Photoshop.
What is Newborn Photography?
Professional newborn photography is an art that captures the indescribable essence of a newborn's arrival into the world. It's a way to forever hold onto the tiny details that make your baby unique - the delicate curve of a little ear, the wrinkled toes, the flaky skin that fades all too quickly. It's a celebration of the love, hope, and joy that fill your heart as you cradle your newborn in your arms. And most importantly, it's an investment in memories that will bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart for years to come.
