Let’s make some memories!

Whether you are having your first baby or wanting to document your kids as they grow, photography is the gift that keeps on giving for years to come.

This time in your life is so special, even if you are seriously sleep-deprived, or your house is covered in toys and unidentifiable sticky messes. Trust me, I’ve been there. I AM there!

If there’s one thing I know, though, as a both a mother and a photographer, there is so much joy in each phase of family life.

I’m here to help you remember it all.

“Cristin, these are AMAZING! It was such a pleasure taking these with you and I hope we can work together again. My newborn was a terror tonight and looking at these makes me forget all about it. Thank you so much!”

  • Outdoor or In-Home Signature Sessions- $1450

    1 hour signature family and maternity sessions take place in the comfort of your home or at one of my amazing Marin and San Francisco locations.

    For my new families, I recommend in-home sessions, particularly if your kiddos are slow to warm. I find that kids are more comfortable at home where they are already familiar with the space, they have lots of extra clothes and snacks available, and safe spaces for kids to take a break when they need one. This translates to better photos of your family and includes one of the most important places in your lives, your home!

    However, if you have kids that are outgoing and excited to meet new people, you might be a good fit for an outdoor session. To see what your in-home photoshoot could look like, click here. For outdoor galleries and locations, click here.

    Signature sessions are all-inclusive, which means all 55+ high-resolution images are all yours, to keep forever and always.

    Outdoor Simple Sessions- $895

    30 minute simple sessions take place at select Marin and San Francisco locations. Availability for each session type is written in the details of each location.

    Simple sessions are best for kiddos who are quick to warm to new people and can easily focus and follow simple and fun directions for 30 minutes. Longer sessions allow for more time for breaks for wiggles, big feelings, or a snack, as well as for more variety in candids and backgrounds.

    Simple sessions are all-inclusive, which means all 35+ high-resolution images are all yours, to keep forever and always.

    Seasonal Mini Sessions

    Mini sessions are special, short sessions that happen seasonally (usually Mother’s Day and fall) and focus on getting a smaller gallery of more formal looking-at-the-camera type shots. These are best for families with older children who are focused and cooperative, one-child families, or repeat families whose kiddos know me well and are pumped to see me and listen to my (very fun!) instructions right out of the gate. If you are interested in these session, please sign up for my newsletter. They release a few months in advance and sell out every year!

    I do also offer mini sessions year round in my Sausalito studio in Marin. You can learn all about that under the Studio Photography tab below!

  • In-Home or In-Hospital

    I have lots of options for you to document and celebrate bringing a new life into your family.

    All sessions are all inclusive, which means your high-resolution images are all yours to keep forever and always.

    Prints, albums and products to help get your images out of your phone and into your home available for purchase.

    • In-Home Newborn ($1450)- 1-2 hr in-home newborn sessions are the perfect way to document your baby in the place where you first brought them home! Since these sessions focus on your family and the love you all have, they can be taken anytime from one week to three months old! 55+ images.

    • Fresh 48 ($895)- 30-45 min session in your hospital room within the first 48 hrs of your baby's life. I serve CMPC and UCSF in San Francisco and Marin General in Marin. These are a wonderful way to capture a once in a lifetime moment in your life and help bring you right back to those first days as a family. 35+ images.

    • Studio ($895)- 40 minute session in my beautiful, bright studio in Sausalito. This all-white studio is classic and timeless. You can read more about my studio newborn sessions here. 35+ images.

    To see what your in-home newborn or Fresh 48 session could look like, click here.

  • My Sausalito studio is a beautiful all white studio, with a simple white wall and a backdrop of sheer curtains that makes for timeless, classic portraits of you and your family. This clean backdrop allows your family and your kids to be the focus any time of day, which means you can schedule around naps and not have to worry about lighting or weather! It's always perfect in the studio!

    • Family/Maternity Mini ($495)- 20 minute lifestyle session that focuses on your entire family. 10 images. Full gallery available to purchase.

    • Studio Newborn ($895)- 40 minute lifestyle newborn session with a bed with white bedding and a white swaddle (you are welcome to bring your own as well!) I use baby-led posing and focus on your family's connection with each other. I do not pose babies or use props, just simple, natural images of you and your baby! 35+ images.

    • Kids Portrait ($195 per child) - 10 minute short and sweet session. These sessions focus solely on your kiddo. They must be able to sit unassisted. While these are a wonderful way to document a child's yearly photo or a special milestone, please be mindful of your child’s personality when booking. If they are shy or slow to warm, I would highly recommend a longer family session. 5 images.

    • Specials- Seasonal specials will be released for different holidays and special occasions like back-to-school, Halloween and holidays. If you’d like to be notified of those specials, sign up here.

“Cristin is AMAZING, she is super talented and also super chill. I didn't think we would have many good photos because my son is WILD, not interested in taking pictures AT ALL, but Cristin has a way with kids, me and my two kids had a lot of fun and I got SO many happy photos with them both smiling and really connecting with me. I'll treasure these photos forever! Thanks for being the BEST Cristin!!”
